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."

Our Vision

Who We Are

Hereford City Council is a Parish Council covering the City of Hereford, which is divided into 16 ward areas with a ward Councillor representing each area, with two wards having two Councillors, giving a total of 18.

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.

Community Led Plan & Objectives

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

Community Grants Scheme

Hereford City Council has a limited budget to make discretionary community grants, from £50 up to a maximum of £3,000, to local community organisations, charities, clubs, societies and groups based in the Parish of Hereford City in any one financial year.

Community Group Achievement Awards

The awards are not just about groups Hereford City Council has awarded funding to, it’s about all the community and volunteer groups within the City of Hereford, who deliver projects and events to improve the lives of others and the environment within the City of Hereford.
