Mayor of Fareham, Councillor Mrs Louise Clubley, said: “It is a great honour to be the new Mayor of Fareham and to be the first to have their Mayor Making ceremony at our fantastic new community, arts and entertainment venue, Fareham Live. Both my father and my mother have held this prestigious position in the past and, as someone who has lived and worked in the Borough my whole life, I am delighted to be serving my community for the next year, alongside my husband Jonathan. I have three charities I wish to support, all of which are active in our community. I look forward to promoting them and fundraising during my year to help them continue their good work."

The new Mayor's Cadet for 2025/26 is Corporal Oliver Reasons from 9 Platoon (Fareham). Oliver will take part in various duties to support Cllr Mrs Clubley over the next year, such as attending civic events, wreath bearing and church readings.
