Mayor and Twinning Details

Mayor

In May of each year an Annual Town Council meeting is held where the Mayor and Deputy Mayor are elected. Both roles represent the people and council of Weymouth and these roles are non-political.  The Mayor chairs the Full Council meetings and leads the town’s civic events such as Remembrance Sunday.

In the Mayor’s absence the Deputy Mayor will stand in place.

In May 2024, Cllr Jon Orrell was elected as the Mayor of Weymouth, and Cllr Caroline Nickinson was elected as the Deputy Mayor.

If you wish to invite the Mayor to any of your events, or contact them for any reason, please email mayor@weymouthtowncouncil.gov.uk or call 01305 239327.
