Civic leader (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mayor

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">civic leader</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for mayor that I've seen before include "Elected town/city head" , "Provost, in Scotland" , "Town official" , "Chief magistrate" , "Civic official" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
