Stockport welcomes Chris Gordon as new mayor
by Lib Dem team on 25 May, 2016
Stockport councillors welcomed our new mayor for 2016/17. Stockport’s First Citizen for the coming year is Chris Gordon. We also said farewell to Andy Verdeille, the outgoing mayor who has also stepped down as a councillor.
As well as a long career as a health researcher in Manchester, Chris Gordon is a huge roller coaster fan (he’s ridden the Big One at Blackpool more than a thousand times). He enjoys goth metal as well.
Chris and his wife, Dr Margaret Gordon, will be the Mayor and Mayoress for the coming year .
June Somekh ended a busy year as Deputy Mayor and handed over to the new Deputy Mayor, Lisa Walker.

Is this post really an essential part of the council as with all the cuts to me this seems like a very outdated and unnecessary strain on the overstretched budget for Stockport and all the other councils.
The cost of the Mayorality has been greatly cut back in recent years, but I think it’s justified. The Mayor is greatly appreciated by the thousands of people at the hundreds of events they attend, and raises thousands of pounds for charity every year.
