Mayor of Hertsmere

Last Modified July 18, 2023
 

The Mayor is the first citizen of the borough and is elected to the post by fellow Councillors at the Annual Meeting of the Council each year.  The role of the Mayor is a non-political position.

In addition to chairing Full Council Meetings, the Mayor attends many different types of functions.  These can include civic functions, receiving dignitaries, attending formal dinners, church services, opening events, talking to clubs and societies and visiting schools.  The Mayor has a deputy to stand in if they are unavailable.  The Mayor’s correct title is “The Worshipful the Mayor of the Borough of Hertsmere.”
