Stefan follows outgoing Junior Mayor Emma Hurds, who saw out her year by handing over the reigns to Stefan earlier this week. We wish Stefan the best of luck in this exciting position!

The Junior Mayor of Hereford is a unique and distinguished position, acting as a vital link between young people and Hereford City Council. The Junior Mayor not only attends important events and ceremonies, but helps by listening to and voicing what the young people of Hereford feel about our City.

The position of Junior Mayor was created in 2007, when Hereford City Council inaugurated the position with two objectives: to increase public awareness of the role of the Mayoralty and City Council, and to help educate young people about local government by increasing links between the Mayor of the day and the City’s schools.
