This must be up for discussion at the next town council meting in 3 weeks, no doubt feelers have been put out by those aspiring to have his/her holiness in front of their name.

Funny Howard really
There's only 8 labour cllrs
So the tories/indies 10 could out vote them
When I met the tory leader he said he couldn't control his own 4 tories let alone the indies to so I suspect the present one will continue

That would be for the 4th time Keith which seems a bit harsh on people like Gordan Cowan, Pam Brivio and Chris Precious that have only had one bash at it or you, Roger Walkden and Graham Wanstall who have never worn the bling.

Unfortunately sue they vote down party lines
And as I say the tories and indies are not organised
They should be challenging all Labour decisions
But they rarely challenge

Think that debate may be gathering momentum on why have a mayor or Town Council

I keep a close eye on the finances of DTC and mayoral costs are miniscule compared to the money frittered away, so keep a mayor and ditch the town council.

I would suggest ditching the town (i.e. parish) council and make the DDC chairperson ex-officio Mayor of Dover. The functions currently undertaken by DTC can easily be performed by DDC. At least £250k a year savings there, plus a more profitable use can be found for Maison Dieu House.

The full Town Council meeting tomorrow makes no mention of choosing the next Mayor on the agenda but the next meeting in May includes the Mayor making, does this mean the next Mayor has already been chosen?

AOB on Agenda for Pharos No.6967, next meeting 20 April.
Snar Gate No.6770 and Dover Castle 7202 have already voted.
Can't say any more for fear of my throat being cut across, my tongue torn out by the root, and being buried in the sand of the sea at low water mark, or a cable's length from the shore, where the tide regularly ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours (now part of DWDR)

Howard it's decided by the incoming new council
Looking at it labour is likely to have a big majority so will vote down party lines and its own
I just hope the other guy in St rads loses
