New Mayor for Tewkesbury Borough
Posted on: 14 May 2024
Tewkesbury Borough Council has welcomed a new Mayor for 2024/25.
Councillor Philip Workman was invested as Mayor of Tewkesbury Borough at a ceremony held at Tewkesbury Abbey on Tuesday, 14 May 2024.
More than one hundred guests welcomed the new Mayor at the ceremony, which included musical performances by students from Tewkesbury School.
The Mayor is the first citizen of the borough and members of the council nominate a councillor each year to take on the role. The Mayor chairs council meetings, represents the council at civic events and attends community engagements throughout the year.
Councillor Workman lives in Shuthonger and represents the Tewkesbury North and Twyning ward on the borough council. He named his wife, Lynne Workman, as his Mayoress and has chosen Shane Roache, minister of Tewkesbury Baptist Church, as his chaplain.
Councillor Kashan Pervaiz was invested as Deputy Mayor for the year at the same ceremony.
Councillor Workman said: ”I am delighted and immensely privileged to have been elected Mayor of Tewkesbury Borough and am grateful to my fellow councillors for putting their trust in me.
“I hope, by working hard in the interests of all who live and work in the borough, to prove that their faith in me is justified.”
Councillor Workman also went on to recognise SARA and Friends of Alderman Knight School as his two chosen charities for the year.
