The Mayor of Biggleswade

Election of the Mayor

The Mayor of Biggleswade is elected by their fellow Councillors at the Annual Statutory Meeting of the Council in May each year.

The ‘Mayor-making’ is at the beginning of the meeting and the new Mayor takes over from their predecessor immediately.  The meeting then sets up the democratic structure of the Council for the following year – committees and representation on outside bodies.

The Mayor’s role is to chair Council meetings in accordance with Standing Orders and conduct the meeting in a fair and impartial manner.  The Mayor also represents Biggleswade at civic events and local and community events during the year.
