議長擔任五港聯合會主席兼主要代表. 這個受人尊敬的職位由每個主要港口和兩個古鎮的鎮長自動擔任. 這次繼承遵循了一個被稱為「七週年革命」的獨特過程,’ whereby the role transfers from one town to another on the 21st of May each year. For the current municipal year, 2023-2024, this honour has been bestowed upon Dover Town. The esteemed role of Speaker is now fulfilled by The Right Worshipful The Town Mayor of Dover and Speaker of the Cinque Ports, Cllr Susan Jones. The focal point of the year will be the upcoming Speakers Day, scheduled for Saturday, October 7th, 2023. During this event, all the Cinque Ports Mayors and various dignitaries will convene in Dover for a Civic Procession, followed by a ‘Thankyou & Recognition to the Sea Oration’ and RNLI Tug Boat Display.
