Writing Mayoral Letters

The Mayor receives many hundreds of letters a year. The people who write these letters often know the mayor personally, or feel a strong connection with this important local identity.

Council officers preparing the draft reply on the mayor’s behalf are often confused about what to include and what to leave out. It is also hard to explain things clearly and diplomatically.
