The Mayor of Tower Hamlets was a position first established in 1965 with the creation of the
London Borough of Tower Hamlets . It replaced the mayors of
Bethnal Green ,
Poplar and
Stepney .
The post holder is elected at a
full council meeting in May of each year, and serves for one
municipal year . From 1965, the mayor could be a
councillor or
alderman , until the position of alderman was abolished in 1978. It is customary for the mayor to have served as the deputy mayor in the preceding year.
In 2010, a
directly elected mayor of Tower Hamlets was established. The
civic mayor position was renamed as the Chair of Council in October 2010 and Speaker of Council in November 2011.
