Clitheroe Town Council Serving the People of Clitheroe

The Town Council has had a mayor since its inception in 1974 and its predecessor the Clitheroe Borough Council has had a mayor since Victorian times.

The Mayor is elected annually every May by the ten members of the Council and he represents all the people of the town in their role as first citizen for the next 12 months.

During their term of office the Mayor attends many events in and around the town. The three most important ones are the Mayor-Making ceremony, the Mayor’s Civic Sunday and Remembrance Sunday.

At Christmas time the Mayor makes Christmas visits to residential homes and Clitheroe Community hospital.

The Mayor also makes 90th Birthday and Golden Wedding Visits.

The Mayor is also involved in several local organisations where they hold an honourary title. Some of these organisations are Pendle Club and Clitheroe Concerts Society (as President of both), Clitheroe and District Scouts (as Vice – President) and Clitheroe Organ Society (as Patron).

The current Mayor is Councillor Donna O'Rourke who is supported by her Consort Councillor Simon O'Rourke.

Please contact the Mayor's Secretary, Mrs Janet Meloy, on 01200 424722 if you wish the Town Mayor to undertake an engagement.
