The Mayor of Mansfield is the directly elected executive mayor of the district of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, England. A new appointment was created from 2002 following moves made by a Mansfield-based businessman to change the governance of Mansfield after a public referendum.[2]
Andy Abrahams was elected on 3 May 2019 by two votes from sitting incumbent Kate Allsop after two recounts of the second-preference votes.[3]
The incumbent from 2002 to May 2015 was Tony Egginton, succeeded by his fellow Mansfield Independent Forum party member Kate Allsop,[4][5] who stood against Egginton in 2002 as a Conservative.
From the 2015 booklet issued to all households having registered voters:[6]
An elected Mayor is different to a ceremonial Mayor or Leader of the council as they are elected by the people of Mansfield district.
It is the job of the Mayor to represent the council and its residents, make key decisions on policies, services and how the council spends its money.
The Mayor is supported by a Cabinet of councillors who help him or her develop and implement these policies.
