Some London Boroughs have directly elected Mayors with particular powers. Greenwich is not one of them.
The Mayor is a serving councillor who is elected to the office for one year at the Council’s AGM, held annually in May.
Councillor Barbara Barwick, elected on the 26 May, is currently the Mayor of Greenwich.
The Mayor is a civic representative of the Council – attending civic, ceremonial and community events on behalf of the Council. The role has no formal power on decision-making. The main duties of the Mayor include chairing Full Council meetings. The Mayor must be non-political.
