Abolish UK Mayors

Petition Details

We believe mayors represent an expensive, unnecessary layer of bureaucracy that duplicates existing council functions without delivering proportional value.

Additional Information

We call on the Government to introduce legislation to scrap all mayors immediately and redirect any savings to frontline services like policing and education. We believe streamlined and empowered local councils would provide faster cheaper governance.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
