Board Membership
The Thurrock Thames Gateway Development Corporation Board is
made up of eight members; the chair of the
Corporation, two members being the Leader and Leader
of the Opposition of Thurrock Council, and
the remaining members of the Board are selected
through a competitive process, supervised by the Office of the
Commissioner for Public Appointments (OCPA) and appointed by the
Secretary of State. Members are appointed for a term of three
years.
Board members are collectively responsible for the conduct of
all business undertaken by the Corporation. So in addition to the
statutory powers and duties of the Corporation, members have both
fiduciary and general duties of skill and care. This means that
they are not only responsible for the Boards strategic direction
and policies, but also for ensuring that it is properly and
effectively managed. In particular, members are responsible for the
stewardship of the public funds entrusted to the Corporation.
