User suggestion: add mayors
(also one +1 from a comment on #54)
"In relation to London you provide no details of how to contact the Mayor of London. You provide details of London Assembly Members, but ultimately it is the Mayor of London who has the budget and control over such issues as Transport for London and the Met budget.
Why is it that your website seems to totally exclude the Mayor of London."
Another user +1:
Please consider adding the Mayor of London as list of representatives for people in London and indeed elected Mayors in in the four London Boroughs which have executive Mayors and the few other towns and cities which have executive Mayors (Liverpool, Watford etc).
"I think it would be really useful to include Directly Elected Mayors & Metro Mayors for areas that have them like London for example."
there is no option to write to one's directly elected mayor or Police and Crime Commissioner! Surely this would be fairly straightforward to add to the website?
[name], Bristol (where we have both a directly elected mayor and police commissioner)
Please can you provide a mechanism for contacting Mayors as well as councillors. I have found no way to contact Peter Soulsby Mayor of Leicester.
(ETA it wasn't a hard Google but still)
Can you add the contact details for regional mayors?

I would like to be able to contact the mayor of manchester, does your site let me do that? I can't see it.
Are you going to include Mayors of Authorities such as London, Greater Manchester, Sheffield City Region etc? They are also our elected representatives.
Question today:
Do you have any plans to introduce a way of contacting the modern mayors?
(specifically, Manchester)
I've just been on your website, which is very informative but at the moment is missing details about the Elected Mayor of Watford. I wondered if these could be added in so residents in the town are able to contact him?
We now have a locally elected mayor for Teesside, so it would be appropriate for mayoral contact details to come up on your very useful website.
I think that you could make it better if you included Metro Mayors on the list of elected representatives that one has (for those who have a Metro Mayor, obviously) as they are directly-elected & do, in a way, have a say in certain policy & budgeting matters.
Please add the capability to contact directly elected mayors. A large (and increasing :-( ) part of the country is covered by directly elected mayors. I'm a local councillor, and often refer people enquireing from outside my ward to this site so they can contact their own councillor - it would be good if they can also contact the Mayor if they desire, since he holds so much of the power.
