From the 2015 booklet issued to all households having registered voters:[6]
An elected Mayor is different to a ceremonial Mayor or Leader of the council as they are elected by the people of Mansfield district.
It is the job of the Mayor to represent the council and its residents, make key decisions on policies, services and how the council spends its money.
The Mayor is supported by a Cabinet of councillors who help him or her develop and implement these policies.
