Liverpool’s Lord Mayor and Deputy are to swap roles for 12 months.
Cllr Mary Rasmussen will step down from her role later this month after a year as the civic head of the city. After being nominated by Liverpool Council ’s constitutional issues committee this evening, it is expected that the Speke-Garston Labour councillor will reassume the role of Lord Mayor in 2023-24 after serving a term as deputy to her own second-in-command, Cllr Roy Gladden.
Both will be confirmed by a meeting of the full council on Wednesday May 25th. Cllr Gladden has represented County ward since 2019 having previously served as a councillor between 2011 and 2015. Cllr Gladden is the second member of his household to take on the civic position after wife Roz served as Lord Mayor for 2016-17.
