Elected mayor plans for Leicester
Leicester City Council has called for a meeting next Friday to discuss the proposal of introducing an elected mayor to the city. If councillors agree to the motion - the next stage in the process - the authority will launch almost three weeks of public consultation.
If all proposals are passed, the election of the mayor would take place on Thursday 5 May alongside the city council elections.
The meeting has been arranged for Friday (19 November), beginning at 5pm. The meeting will be broadcast over the internet so that the public can witness the discussion.
The results of that consultation would then be fed back to a second council meeting in December for further discussion.
Councillors will make a final decision at a meeting on 22 December.
