The Thames Chase Partnership

How the Formal Partnership Works
The Thames Chase Joint Committee is the over-arching executive body in Thames Chase. It contains representatives of a number of the Thames Chase Partners, including members from each of the five local authorities. The Joint Committee meets quarterly and, effectively, instructs the Thames Chase Team to carry out work on behalf of the Partnership.

Two other groups also meet quarterly and advise the Thames Chase Team. The Forest Forum is made up of local interest groups and local representatives of national organisations; representing areas such as wildlife, access, heritage etc. The Planners Group consists of local authority officers from the five partner authorities and advises at both a strategic and project level.
