ALONGSIDE this year’s local elections, residents will also have the chance to vote for who they’d like to see as South Yorkshire Mayor.
In South Yorkshire the functions of the mayor and those of the elected Police and Crime Commissioner are being brought together into the single role of Mayor of South Yorkshire.
As a result, the term of the current elected Mayor of South Yorkshire has been shortened by two years, bringing the election forward to Thursday, May 2.
After the election the mayor will serve a four year term, with the next election taking place in May 2028.
Below are the candidates for this year’s election:
Nick Allen – Conservatives
David Bettney – Social Democratic Party
Oliver Coppard – Labour
Douglas Johnson – Green Party
Hannah Kitching – Liberal Democrats
