Mayor's Handbook

General

Hi Everyone,

I’m about to start reviewing and updating our Mayor’s Handbook, which for a few reasons is now incorrect in places. Does anyone know if/where there is guidance on exactly what a Mayor’s handbook should contain?

Thank you!

Hi George
I wrote the one for Wigan and really there is no one size fits all.
I started with the history of the Mayoralty at Wigan, Twinning, Key Contracts, How to book the Mayor,
I tried to cover all the issues that I had dealt with in my time as Mayoral Secretary and it was a reference guide.
Send me your email and I will try and get a copy of the handbook for you.

Regards
Christine

Hello - I created my first Civic Handbook from researching others that had been published and tailoring it to fit the Civic Office here. Happy to forward a copy to you if you would like

Hello George,
I wrote a Civic Handbooks: A best practice guide (https://www.naco.uk.com/assets/Uploads/civichandbooks.pdf) which is on the Resources page of the NACO website.
It’s a little old now but, having just had a quick look through, I think it still includes all the major topics and concerns. Feel free to download and amend at will.
