Councils are currently setting priorities for their work programmes, with Havering Council focusing on park security.

Havering Council's Place Overview & Scrutiny Sub Committee decided in September 2026 to include park security measures in its work programme for the 2026-2027 municipal year. This decision was made to drive improvement in public services and provide critical challenge to policy and decision makers, with the committee aiming for a focused examination of security in local parks.

In June 2026, Richmond upon Thames Council's Transport and Air Quality Committee agreed to a work programme. Previously, in September 2025, Hillingdon Council's Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee outlined its key areas of focus for the year, reviewing its complaint handling process and scrutinising council spending as part of its work programme.

A work programme is a plan outlining the scheduled activities, topics, and priorities for a committee over a specific period. Councils use these programmes to ensure their committees' work aligns with broader objectives, makes efficient use of resources, and provides scrutiny of council operations and service delivery.
