THE ROLE OF MAYOR

The Mayor is the chief citizen and represents the Borough throughout their year of office. The Mace , carried by the Town Serjeant on ceremonial occasions and into the council chamber, is the symbol of that authority.

The Mayor sits as non-political chairman of the council. The mayoralty is customarily awarded to the most senior councillor of one of the political groups, who take it in turn. The nomination is only rarely challenged. He or she serves for a year as Deputy Mayor.

The annual ceremony of the installation of a new Mayor takes place each May, following the borough council elections. The Mayor's election take splace at the first meeting of the newly formed council.

The council, officers and members of the public gather in the Moot Hall to welcome the incoming Mayor who takes the oath administered by the Chief Executive .


THE MAYOR'S PARLOUR

The Mayor's Parlour is the Colchester Town Hall office where the Mayor works, as well as the reception suite for visitors. The borough Regalia (including The Mace ), is also displayed there, and represents gifts to the town as well as items of the borough's heritage.
