Mayor of Eastbourne

The office existed from 1906 until 1989, when Eastbourne Borough was amalgamated into the Hutt City Council as part of the 1989 local government reforms.

[2] Bolton served until 1909 when he instead stood for Mayor of Wellington at that year's election, but was unsuccessful.

[4] After Bishop retired councillor Elaine Jakobsson became the only woman elected mayor.

[5] Jakobsson retired after two terms and was succeeded by Charles Bagnall who was opposed to the proposed amalgamation of Eastbourne with Lower Hutt.

He later changed his mind on amalgamation, seeing it as inevitable, and resigned after just over a year as mayor on 26 November 1987.
