council leader
Local government head
A council leader is the elected head of a local government council, particularly in the UK.
The position combines executive authority with political leadership—chairing meetings, setting agendas, and representing the council publicly.
The council leader announced plans to cut services.
Unlike mayors in some systems, council leaders are typically chosen by fellow councillors rather than direct public vote.
