How we work
Our Governance
We are committed to being open and transparent about our decision-making and the money we spend to meet our objectives and commitments.
Openness & transparency
As a Mayoral Development Corporation, we fully adhere to the Mayor’s commitment to be an open, accountable and transparent organisation.
Our commitment to openness and transparency means that we:
- help Londoners hold us to account by publishing information on how we operate and perform
- ensure our decision-making processes and governance arrangements are accessible
- aspire to respond to requests for information quickly and comprehensively
- meet government expectations, but also to seek out opportunities to enhance transparency further and to remain at the forefront of local government transparency.
Our board
The OSDC Board was appointed by the Mayor and its first board meeting took place on 7 January 2026.
The Board sets the strategic direction for the Corporation, approves its strategy, budget, business plan, planning policy, major expenditures and holds the executive team to account for performance.
Board Members are collectively responsible for achieving the Corporation’s vision for Oxford Street to become a “world-leading urban space” for retail, leisure and public life on behalf of the Mayor of London.
