The Mayor’s Roles

Civic Role

As the first citizen of Otley, the Mayor represents the town at official events and community occasions.

The Civic Role focuses on meeting individuals and community groups, celebrating their contributions, and promoting civic pride.

This position is separate from that of a Councillor, and the mayor acts in a non-political capacity when carrying out civic duties.

When the Mayor is unavailable, the Deputy Mayor will attend events on their behalf.

Chair of Council

In addition to their civic duties, the Mayor also serves as Chair of the Full Council.

This role involves leading council meetings, ensuring that discussions run smoothly and decisions are made efficiently.

If a vote results in a tie, the Mayor has the authority to cast the deciding vote.
