The Mayor is the Civic Head of the Council. In May of each year, one of the Councillors is elected to serve as Mayor for one year and another elected as a Deputy. The Mayor chairs meetings of the Full Council and represents the city at ceremonial occasions. The Mayor also welcomes international visitors and attends events organised by local people.

The Mayor for 2022/2023 is Councillor Adrian Gregson

Adrian’s charities will be Onside Advocacy and Severn Arts. Drawing inspiration from his grandad’s twin, who was Mayor of Glossop in the 1940s and who was known as the musical mayor, the theme this year will be tackling mental health and wellbeing through a culture of creativity, art and music.

Councillor Louis Stephen is Deputy Mayor for 2022/2023
