Southwark Council's Audit, Governance and Standards Committee is set to review a retrospective contract-related decision concerning housing aids and adaptations at its meeting on Wednesday, 19 November 2025, according to the agenda frontsheet.
The report, listed as item 15 on the agenda, will be discussed in both open and closed sessions. The closed session excludes the press and public because the sub-committee may need to deal with reports revealing exempt information as defined in paragraphs 1-7, Access to Information Procedure rules of the Constitution.
This indicates the potential for discussion of sensitive or confidential information.
The Audit, Governance and Standards Committee, chaired by Councillor Barrie Hargrove, is responsible for overseeing the council's internal and external audits, anti-fraud measures, customer service, and risk management. Other members of the committee include Councillor Ellie Cumbo, Councillor Dora Dixon-Fyle MBE, Councillor Adam Hood, Councillor Graham Neale, Councillor Andy Simmons, and Councillor Kieron Williams.
Notably, the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) governance and financial monitoring is also on the agenda, alongside the discussion of the housing aids and adaptations contract.
The agenda includes a range of other important topics, such as the Treasury Management Strategy and Capital Strategy for 2026-27, and the progress of the Southwark360 Enterprise Resource Planning replacement programme.
