Councillor Dr Paul Wheatley was elected as Bicester’s Mayor in May 2026.           

I am honoured to be taking on the role of mayor and look forward to the year ahead, working to bring our community together, support the local economy, and champion the many organisations that make such a positive difference across our town. Your support throughout the year would be greatly appreciated in helping us raise funds and awareness for these important local causes.
