Mayor of Kensington and Chelsea, Cllr David Lindsay said:

“It is a great honour to have been elected Mayor of Kensington and Chelsea. 
 

My two Mayoral Charities, the Rugby Portobello Trust and The Clement James Centre who’ve worked in North Kensington for many years, played a vital role in the time of emergency following the Grenfell Tragedy, and continue to work hard supporting the North Kensington community to this day. 
 

I really look forward to working with these two fantastic charities and with the Deputy Mayor to champion opportunities for young people in our borough.
 

This year also marks Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and I am excited to celebrate this momentous occasion with residents across the Royal Borough.”

David has appointed Cllr Janet Evans as his Deputy Mayor, who has represented Courtfield ward since 2018. The Mayoral Chaplain is Pastor Mark Ryan, Senior Minister of Kensington Temple.
