Frequently asked questions
How do I address my invitation/letter to the Mayor?
The correct form of address (for invitations and when writing to the Mayor) is as follows:
'The Worshipful the Mayor of Guildford, Cllr .....'
Salutation: 'Dear Mr Mayor' or in the case of a female Mayor, 'Dear Madam Mayor'
A female Mayor should not be referred to as 'The Mayoress'. This title is given to a male Mayor's escort/consort and is not necessarily the Mayor's wife.
How long will the Mayor be in office?
A new Mayor is appointed annually at the Council's Annual General Meeting, held on the first Wednesday in May.
