Banbury Town Mayor - Councillor Colin Clarke

The Town Mayor is Banbury’s first citizen and elected by the 22 Banbury Town Councillors.  The Town Mayor’s term of office commences in May and lasts for just one year.  During that time it is not unusual for him/her to be invited to around 400 events in the Banbury area, plus help to organise traditional annual Banbury events, for which more information can be obtained from the events section.

As First Citizen the Town Mayor has a unique, distinctive and increasingly important role to play in fostering socially inclusive and responsible communities.   The Town Mayor is in a perfect position to communicate with all kinds of people and by acting as a figurehead can enthuse and motivate people.

By being non-political the Town Mayor is also in a position to influence policy and decision-makers for a wide spectrum of institutions.  Banbury Town Council therefore welcomes invitations for the Town Mayor to attend local meetings and events to enable the Town Mayor to become more aware of what Banbury has to offer.
