6.Following a review of the Mayoralty in 2010 some amendments were made to its day-to-day functioning. These amendments were introduced at the start of the municipal year in May 2011. An update report on the effect of these changes was considered by Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 25th September 2012. At that meeting the report was noted subject to it being acknowledged that the Committee would not wish to see the Mayor restricted by the budget in their role as Ambassador to the Borough and that the effect of changes be further reviewed in three years’ time. This report presents information for the 2012/13 2013/14 and 2014/15 Mayoral years.
