An Elected Mayor of Hyndburn
 
My feelings on the matter can be seen here:

An elected mayor is not the way (From Lancashire Telegraph)

What do we all think? Am I in a minority that doesn't want an elected Mayor? Does anyone really care one way or the another?

Discuss.

Re: An Elected Mayor of Hyndburn
 
What you say makes sense to me .

As you point out it would be a lot of power in one pair of hands .

Also the present position of mayor should show respect to the borough's first citizen .It is his role to carry out the traditional mayoral duties .

I'm totally with you here Ken, think it would be a backward step, why do we always have to try and copy the bloody Yanks:(

IMHO the leader of the strongest party in the council should be the de facto Mayor/Mayoress.
Just one hypothetical question - if an election for the position came into being would Ken be in the running for that position?

No disrespect to Ken, but I think he would need a few years experience as councillor first Barrie, but I think in years to come Ken will be great asset to Hyndburn, once he's got the Monkey off his back:rolleyes:

Re: An Elected Mayor of Hyndburn
 
Bit puzzled .. who suggests changes like this in the first place ?

The position of Mayor would possibly become a little too political. We always respect our Mayor as a sort of royalty of the town that comes along in his glory to open events and make presentations, to say nothing of raising money for charity. I can't remember in the past (correct me if I am wrong), that a Mayor has particularly given political speeches whilst carrying out these duties, which is as it should be. A bit of show business, pomp and ceremony is good.

No, leave well alone I say.

Tealeaf 27-10-2010 19:23
Re: An Elected Mayor of Hyndburn
 
Oppose this at all costs. Last week, here in LBTH a member of the Taleban (Rahman) was elected mayor, with the full support of Labour's Ken Livinstone who campaigned against the official labour candidate - he of course, is the official Labour candidate to take on Boris in a year or so.

You may think Britcliffe may be bad, but at least he ain't a terrorist.

No disrespect taken, John, you're quite right. The Mayor is a great feather to put in your cap but you need to have the gravitas of experience to properly carry it off, something I don't fully have yet.

I hope I have many years service to give to the borough and I thank you all for your nice comments. Much as I may bitch about the flaws in the system, it is a huge honour to be elected onto the council and represent the many thousands of others who live around me.

We're told it's a legal requirement to have a vote on it by the end of the year.

I suspect that whenever the vote is scheduled on the council agenda that meeting will not be at a time convenient for the Labour councillors, most of whom actually work for a living.

That's always been Peter Britcliffe's tactic in the past when he needs to get something through and it's a great way of enabling the elected representatives to truly serve the borough, isn't it?

gynn 27-10-2010 21:26
Re: An Elected Mayor of Hyndburn
 
Why is this subject being brought up now? Is it a national requirement, because the arguments for and against were discussed ad nauseam 10 years ago when Hyndburn first had the option of an elected mayor under the provisions of the Local Government Act 2000.

There was no support for it from the Conservative group.

What has changed since then, other than a Council leader worried about next May's elections?

Tealeaf 27-10-2010 21:38
Re: An Elected Mayor of Hyndburn
 
Err...Ken...if the council do vote for an elected mayor, is there not a prerequisite that it should be followed by a local referendum on whether or not to have an elected mayor?

cashman 27-10-2010 21:42
Re: An Elected Mayor of Hyndburn
 
Thinkin about it, there aint many vote these days in elections,local or national, so even less i imagine would bother to vote fer a mayor, leaving the door wide open fer the snake to snare the job.:eek:

Re: An Elected Mayor of Hyndburn
 
The new government have scrapped the requirement to have a vote and a whole new set of proposals will be presented in the localism bill. I have the letter from the minister.

Whoever said it is a requirement is not telling the truth and wasting public money.

There would, although as Graham has now pointed out the situation is now quite how it is being portrayed to us all by the local Conservative leader.

There would be nothing to stop me putting myself forward as a candidate but I suspect I would lose, and in every way.

For starters it would have meant stepping down as a councillor, but since I'm not widely known across Hyndburn then people would end up voting for the badge I'm wearing rather than me personally, something I am against. More importantly it would have affected my work and home life. I have worked for 8 years to build up two businesses, I don't spend enough time with my wife as it is and all that would have to be completely sidelined for the sake of four years of power.

It's not something that would appeal to me personally.

As a little fun aside .. are new robes made for each Mayor every year or hand me downs ? Do they have a selection of sizes in stock ? After all, Malcolm is slightly lacking in height to some previous mayors. :D

Could be a saving if we have a 4-year Mayor ... only silver lining of saving I can spot.

I think a simple hemming stitch, run round the robes of office, depending on each mayor's height, would be cheaper still.

It's the same Robes for all the Mayor's regardless of size.It's question that's often asked.But there not altered, they just seem to fit. Although they hang better on some Mayor's than others I suppose.

I am getting more confused by the minute. An elected Mayor is being portrayed as someone who has powers tantamount to Leader of the Council but, yes, wouldn't be if the opposition got in during he or she's term.:confused:

Off to do more research on this subject... bet many members of the public will be baffled by this system too. Think would have to do some sort of leaflet drop first ... explaining; then a referendum, then the actual election.

Oh sod it .. stay with the yearly one .. we understand that up 'ere in t'North... :D

I would be surprised if we were to end up with an Elected Mayor. Personally it's not something I would support. I also don't detect any great clamour for an Elected Mayor.

As far as the robes go, I'm not sure how far they go back, but it's a good few years. I think the fur is genuine,but I'm no expect on such things. I know it's warm though. The Chains the Mayor wears by the way are the old Accrington Chains. And they do go back a long number of years.

I'm not sure how much they weigh. There quite heavy though. There's a lot of history also attached to the chains. The chains are the same ones the Mayor was wearing when the Accrington Pals paraded past the Town Hall before going off to France. So there's a lot Accrington history in those chains.

They are, but you might remember a good few years ago some of the chains from the former UDCs got stolen. So there not all the original ones. The Accrington one survived because it was being used by the Mayor at the time.

Just had a detailed reply from the Mayor's secretary stating that the current robes date from 1954, with the original fur trim having been reused from the previous set of robes in 1878. There have only been two sets of robes and as they are only worn very occasionally there is little need for replacement, save for occasional repairs to the lining, etc.

Perhaps a mayor, to celebrate being elected to the office for four years, would commission new, more regal robes.

After all, the Emperor had new clothes.

Perhaps the newly elected Mayor of Hyndburn will too.

Have Your Say On Council Set Up

The Council's preferred option is the Leader and Executive model and is keen to hear what local people and other interested parties think of the two options.

To have your say, please send your views either by post to Jane Ellis, Executive Director (Legal and Democratic and Services), Hyndburn Borough Council, Scaitcliffe House, Ormerod Street, Accrington, BB5 0PF or by e mail to: [email protected], by 19 November 2010.

there you go ..
