Worksop Charter Trustees
The Worksop Charter Trustees are the 18 members of Bassetlaw District Council who represent the wards in Worksop, once elected to Bassetlaw, they automatically become a Charter Trustee.


The role of the Trustees is primarily ceremonial, they elect a Mayor and Deputy Mayor each May, and safeguard the traditions of the former Borough of Worksop. They maintain the civic regalia and the "Town Plate", which is a collection of gifts and artefacts that were donated to the Town during its days as a Borough.


The Trustees meet formally on four occasions each year, they receive reports from the Mayor and Clerk and they set an annual budget which covers the running cost of the Trustees. They make a formal precept for funds to the Bassetlaw District Council, in the same way that Parish and Town Councils do. The cost of the Trustees is paid for solely by the residents of Worksop, via a precept.
