Brackley Town Mayor 2026-2027

Councillor Jason Kew

The position of Town Mayor is one traditionally maintained in Brackley, originating from the historic Royal Charter granted in 1260.

The Town Mayor acts as Chairman and presides at full meetings of the Town Council. Robes and full civic insignia are worn at these meetings, and the presence of the Mace indicates the Town Mayor is present in his or her official capacity. As Chairman, the Town Mayor has control of full council meeting procedures, ensuring compliance with the law and good order.

The Town Mayor attends civic events held throughout the year, such as the Remembrance Service and Parade, Civic Service and Community Carols. It is also customary for the Town Mayor to nominate local charities and organisations to benefit from fundraising activities during their term of office.

For the 2026/27 mayoral year, Councillor Jason Kew has chosen to support Northamptonshire Youth Engagement (SNYE) and Brackley Men in Sheds. Both organisations carry out valuable work within the local community, supporting wellbeing, personal development and community connection across Brackley and the surrounding area.
