General guidance
Organisers of events are requested to bear in mind that the Mayor attends as the First Citizen of the Borough.
However, in relation to matters of Council Policy or opinion, it must be borne in mind that, although the mayor represents the council, they are not responsible for policy formation.
Nevertheless, the Mayor is always willing to afford opportunities for representations to be made to him/her, but not when he/she is present as a guest.
Please ensure that wherever possible, a car parking space is reserved for the official Mayoral car.
The Mayor will always be accompanied by the Mayor’s Attendant who will assist the Mayor as necessary
Mayoress/Consort/Deputy Mayor
Please note that all protocol information set out previously also applies to the Mayoress/Consort/Deputy Mayor when she/he is attending functions as the Mayor's representative.
