I have received several PDF responses from Thurrock council, all forwarded by someone in the ‘Chief Executive’s office‘. Firstly I always thought that was a business title, not one for someone running a body on behalf of elected officials with the purpose of serving their constituents. I also could not find anything on the council’s site telling the people who and what responsibilities the management are/have; unlike most other official sites. So referring just to the site, I do not know who the Chief Executive is.
With online searching I found articles on the Chief Executive. I may be naive but I would have thought someone who had lived in the area or at least had worked in a county/borough with a similar profile would have been appointed – from what I can tell, neither of these were met (knowing someone who lives in one of the boroughs they worked) but I am happy to be corrected.
***UPDATE*** I have found the Chief Executive and all are on the Thurrock Council site, just unlike say Harringey Council’s site, it is not on the home page options – if it is I don’t understand the header used. The only way I found the pages was through Google, so I stand by my point.
