Sutton Coldfield family man Tony Briggs has been elected as mayor of the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield.
Councillor Briggs (pictured), who represents the Reddicap ward, has lived in the Royal Town with his wife Pamela for 25 years. Together they have two sons, Jonathan and David, who both studied in Sutton Coldfield.
The new mayor was first elected to the council in 2019 and has served on the planning and highways committee, allotment sub-committee as well as the council’s Active Travel working group.
While the role is non-political, the Mayor presides over meetings of the council and attends events across the town . He also represents Sutton Coldfield at functions outside of the town involving local residents and organisations.
Councillor Briggs said “I am delighted and honoured to serve as mayor for our wonderful community in Sutton Coldfield. As mayor, I plan to celebrate everything that is great about this town and look forward to working with as many different groups as possible to do this.”
Assisting Councillor Briggs as this year’s deputy mayor is Councillor John Perks, who represents Walmley and Minworth ward.
