0

Cllr Dominic Mbang has been elected as the new Mayor of the Royal Borough of Greenwich for 2023 to 2024.

A ward councillor for Woolwich Dockyard, Cllr Mbang was first elected back in May 2018 and has previously sat on housing and anti-poverty committees. He is a Specialist Renal Nurse and Specialist Discharge Nurse at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and has also worked as a police officer.

Cllr Mbang will be the twelfth Mayor since we gained royal borough status.

The new Mayor said: “It is a great privilege to be elected Mayor of our wonderful borough and I am looking forward to the year ahead. I can’t wait to meet our communities and hear about the wonderful work going on across Royal Greenwich – and of course fundraise for vital charities too.”

Cllr Mbang will take the reins from outgoing mayor Cllr Leo Fletcher, who returns to the backbenches having successfully fundraised over £50,000 for the Greenwich and Bexley Community Hospice and Lymphoma Action during his tenure.

This year, the Mayor will be supporting the Stroke Association and the Javan Coker Foundation. His wife, Mary Mbang, will be the Mayoress.

Cllr Jit Ranabhat, ward councillor for Plumstead and Glyndon, will be the Deputy Mayor for the forthcoming year.
