About the Mayor and Deputy Mayor

Councillor Christine Harris was elected Mayor of Bromley for 2026 to 2027 at the annual meeting of the council on 18 May 2026.

Christine has lived in the borough for over 30 years, having moved to the South from Scotland in 1979 to work for a Chartered Accountancy practice in London, before settling in the borough in 1992.

Christine feels privileged to have served as a London Borough of Bromley Councillor since winning a 2018 by-election, now serving as a ward councillor in West Wickham and previously representing Kelsey and Eden Park Ward. She has served on a number of council committees during this time and has looked to use the experience and knowledge gained throughout her working life in accountancy to help ensure the council continues to provide the best possible value for money services for residents. Christine also strives to maintain a prompt and personal approach in responding to resident enquiries.

While her children were at school, Christine was both a Governor and PTA member at Pickhurst Infant and Junior Schools for over seven years, followed by ten years at Langley Park School for Boys, including during the development and construction of the new school buildings.

Christine lives in her family home in West Wickham. Her two sons, now aged 27 and 31, have both established homes of their own. Christine is pleased that her son Elliot will be serving as her Consult.

Prior to having children, Christine was Group Chief Accountant for a large construction company. Whilst raising her sons, she established and developed her own accountancy business around family commitments. She continues to run her successful accountancy practice from home, supporting over 60 clients.

Christine is also a member of the Friends of Croydon Road Recreation Ground, Kelsey Park, and the Harvington Estate, assisting with the development and support of local community projects. Christine also served as Chair of the Langley Park Residents Association for 16 years.

In her spare time, Christine enjoys tennis and swimming. She is also looking forward to drawing upon her previous experience as Deputy Mayor to continue supporting and raising funds for her chosen charities, Madlani Cancer support and The Dyslexia Association of Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich and Lewisham.

Christine is also pleased to have Councillor Sunil Gupta serving as her Deputy Mayor and Reverend Amanda Spence, from St Mary’s in Hayes, as her Mayoral Chaplain.
