The Mayor will always be addressed by the Mayoral Officer as Mr. Mayor and the Mayoress as Mayoress. The Mayor, of course, will be known personally to many people within the Borough. The organisers of any events will always be requested in the information provided to refer to the Mayor as ‘Mr. Mayor’ and the Mayoress as ‘Mayoress.’
There will, of course, be times when it is necessary for the Mayoral Officer to formally announce the Mayor. At some functions, announcement of the Mayor would be inappropriate, for example in church or at a gathering of people present who have paid to attend.
