Civic Head

The role of the Civic Head

The Council shall appoint a Civic Head and Deputy Civic Head by resolution of the Council, at the Annual Meeting in May.
The Council shall delegate to this role to attend civic and ceremonial functions that require a civic presence. This shall include events in the community, such as openings and fundraising events organised by voluntary and charitable organisations, and other events determined by the Council.
Whilst delegating to this role, the Council and its officers shall have due regard that the role is not governed by the legislation and civic protocal and that of Town Mayor.
In the absence of the Civic Head, the Deputy Civic Head will undertake those matters delegated in accordance with this Standing Order.
