- Honorary alderman/alderwoman can be awarded to former borough councillors who have served the authority for a minimum of three consecutive terms.
Tamworth Borough Council have announced that a dedicated public servant has been recognised for their years of service to the people of Tamworth with an honorary title.
The title of honorary alderwoman has been awarded to former councillor Tina Clements at the Full Council meeting on Tuesday 8 September.
The honorary alderman or alderwoman title can be given to former councillors who have served the council for at least three consecutive terms, usually around 12 years.
Tina has served as a councillor for four consecutive terms, from 2010 to 2026. During this time, she has taken on a number of important roles, including serving as a Portfolio Holder and chairing several council committees. She was also appointed Mayoress for the 2012-13 municipal year.
Tina’s public service has also included eight years as a county councillor, giving her many years of experience representing local people at both borough and county level.
Outside of her council work, Tina has been involved in a range of projects to support the local community. She has organised events for International Women’s Day and helped families through school uniform swap events, giving people the chance to pass on uniforms they no longer needed.
Tina is also a former member of the armed forces and has continued her commitment to serving others through her work with the Royal British Legion, where she served as chairperson.
The Mayor of Tamworth presented Tina with her alderwoman award, commenting how she ‘served her ward for 16 years very well’, and ‘the borough council owes their gratitude.’
Councils have different ways of recognising people who have given many years of their lives to public service, and this is Tamworth Borough Councils’ way of saying thank you to Tina.
