Lewisham has an Elected Mayor, who leads the community, speaks up for the borough and makes key decisions about local services.
Lewisham’s Mayor is Sir Steve Bullock. He was one of the first Elected Mayors in the country in 2002 and he was re-elected in 2006 for another four years.
Steve leads the Council and proposes the Council’s budget and policy framework, unlike many authorities, where the role of Mayor is ceremonial. Once the framework is set, the Mayor then implements these policies and takes all day to day decisions to run the Council except those that have to be taken by full council by law (such as changing the Council’s constitution).
