Introducing your Mayor
Jacqui Carwardine
“I was born in Birmingham and moved to Hereford in 1962, and lived at Newton Farm with my parents Jack and Joyce, and my brother Peter. I attended Hunderton School and went on to Redhill Secondary School. In 1981 I joined the Army, serving for 10 years. I became a city councillor in 2003 for Newton Farm. It is an honour to be the 642nd Mayor of Hereford, and I am the sixth mayor with the name Carwardine."

Who We Are

Council Services
As a parish council, Hereford City Council only provides a small number of direct services to the public space.
Twinning
The CITY OF HEREFORD TWINNING ASSOCIATION (HTA) was constituted in 1987 with the aim of promoting international friendship and understanding and of fostering the mutual exchanges at all levels between the peoples of the twinned towns. Each year the MAYOR OF HEREFORD is invited to be President of the Association.

Working towards being a more active City Council, bringing a clearer voice to the city and providing strong community leadership is important.
