Mayors and councillors

Study note

Local councils are made up of elected councillors. In many areas local elections are held in May. Some councils have a mayor as a ceremonial leader, and in some places a mayor is directly elected to lead the council. London has a directly elected Mayor of London.

Memory tip: Councillors are elected (often in May); some areas have a mayor, including the Mayor of London.
