THE MAYOR OF ROYAL LEAMINGTON SPA

Councillor Judith Clarke (Leamington Spa Town Council) Elected May 2024

New Mayor Elected to serve Royal Leamington Spa

Royal Leamington Spa’s new Mayor is Cllr Judith Clarke.  She was elected to the post and took the mayoral chain at a ceremony at the Town Council's annual meeting on Thursday 16th May. 

The new Mayor, a former Secondary School Teacher and Family Therapist, describes Royal Leamington Spa, as a “vibrant town, with beautiful Georgian architecture, a strong sense of community, and an active cultural scene.” 

Judith, a dedicated Town Councillor has been active in various community projects and activities in her more than thirteen years of local service as a Councillor. She has lived in Leamington for over thirty years and is very proud to represent the town as Mayor.

Cllr Clarke has chosen the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation as her charity.  The rates of type 1 diabetes is increasing in the UK and this charity carries out world-class research to treat, prevent and cure it. The charity also campaigns to promote better treatment and technologies for sufferers. The charity is very close to her heart, as she has two grandchildren who contracted the disease at a very early age and she knows how hard it is for families to cope with young children and teenagers who have the disease.

“As it is my privilege to represent the town for the second time – the first time was 2014-15, I am excited to do so again. A highlight will be meeting the varied voluntary groups, and the many people who give their time freely to help others.  I hope to offer my support to the diverse community that is Royal leamington Spa.”
