Partnership Operation
Structure
The Chesterfield Canal Partnership is a cross regional advisory partnership. It consists of a membership drawn from the statutory, non-statutory and voluntary bodies who have an interest in the restoration and development of the Chesterfield Canal.
All members of the Partnership are represented at a senior level on the Executive Steering Group. This group consists of Local Members (councillors) and senior offices from each organisation. The ESG meets four times a year and sets out the broad strategy and policy of the Partnership.
The Partnership is chaired on a two year rotating cycle by a councillor from one of the member local authorities.
Reporting to the ESG is a Technical Officers Group (TOG). The TOG consists of officers drawn from the Partnership Members who are directly involved in the delivery of the work of the Partnership. The Technical Officers Group is the delivery mechanism for the strategy and policy decided by the ESG.
In addition the Partnership establishes, from time to time, special interest, working or Sub-Groups to deliver particular studies or project elements. These have specific remits set by the Technical Officers Group and are dissolved as the completion of the project they were set up to accomplish.
