Hounslow Council has appointed Councillor Ranjit Gill as Mayor of Hounslow for the 2026–27 civic year, with Councillor Sahibaa Hussain serving as Deputy Mayor.
Gill, who has lived in the borough for more than 40 years, was first elected for Chiswick Gunnersbury ward in 2018 and now represents Osterley and Spring Grove following the May 2026 local elections. The council said he had served on a range of committees and panels, including audit and governance, licensing, housing and environment scrutiny and the pension board.
The new mayor has chosen Age UK Hounslow’s dementia services as his charity for the year. The largely ceremonial role will involve representing the council at civic events, supporting community organisations and acting as an ambassador for the borough.
