OV Mayor of Worcester

We are delighted for OV Cllr Louis Stephen (Br 80-85), who has not only become Mayor of Worcester but is also the first Green Party member of Worcester City Council to be appointed to this esteemed role.

Speaking about his appointment, Louis said, “It’s a great honour to be elected Mayor of Worcester, a position that dates back not decades but centuries. Thank you to everyone who has supported me.

“It’s not lost on me that I will be the first Green Mayor of Worcester and I think one of the things that is fantastic is that we have de-politicised the role of Mayor and now take it in turns to allow each of the political groups to have the role.

“I think that is a great way to show that we are prepared to work together and a sign of our maturity and willingness to do cross-party work when we need to do so.”

Each Mayor of Worcester announces a charity they will be supporting during their 12-month tenure, and Louis will be raising funds for Age UK.

We’re looking forward to seeing the Mayor, and his wife and Mayoress, OV Katey Stephen (nee Bridges, Co 84-85) out and about in Worcester, and of course back at King’s!
