Mayoral Civic Invitation Form (Word Document, 49 Kb)
FORM TO INVITE THE MAYOR TO ATTEND AN EVENT GIVING INFORMATION OF WHERE, WHEN AND WHAT
Your contact details will only be used for the purposes of the civic invitation - see Privacy Notice
Please complete the form and return to the Town Council by email or post. Please give as much notice as possible. NB: the Mayor and Deputy are not based in the council office and time must be allowed for them to be contacted and check their civic, work and personal diaries. A response will be sent ASAP.
Some events are not appropriate for the Mayor (in chains of office) to attend.
These include;-
- overtly political functions/events,
- controversial events,
- anything likely to bring the Office of Mayor, or the Council, into disrepute
- being paid as an individual to attend
- commercial events where there is no obvious benefit to the people of the Town.
If in doubt, please contact the Town Clerk for advice.
Sometimes the Mayor/Deputy will have several commitments on the same day. In these circumstances, please do not be offended if they have to leave before the end of your event. Therefore; if there is a particular part of your event that you want the Mayor/Deputy to be present for, please make sure you note this on the form.
The Town Council/Mayor does not invite anyone else to, or inform others of, your event, including the Press. If you wish the Press or any other persons to attend you must organise this yourself.
It may be possible to ask the Mayor to invite other local authority dignitaries to an event on your behalf. However, you will need to discuss this in detail with the Mayor's office.
