Croydon Council will hold an Extraordinary Council Meeting on Monday (11 October) following yesterday’s governance referendum in which the majority voted for the council to have a directly elected mayor.
Councillors will be asked to approve the change to the council’s model of governance and then work will begin on making changes to implement a new directly elected mayor when that person takes office next May.
A report will be then brought to a future full council meeting so that these changes will take effect from 9 May 2022, following the first election for the directly elected mayor on 5 May 2022.
Monday’s Extraordinary Council Meeting will start at 6pm – the report is available here. Watch the meeting live at www.croydon.gov.uk/webcast.
