Our councillors have queried the non political nature of the Mayor and feel it is unfair that they are unable to promote their party and electioneer during their time as Mayor. How do other Mayors/Councillors feel?
Ours is non-political (as is the tradition), and often will ask me for advice on what they should / shouldn’t do. I appreciate it can be a challenge in a political council, but as long as they are aware of this restriction before they put themselves forward as Mayor, it’s possible to manage it.

If you have a copy of Civic Ceremonial, by Paul Millward, there’s some useful information in there that covers this issue
Thanks for your reply, I will take a look at it
