One Hounslow Financial Strategy
Hounslow Council is aligning its financial strategy with the new Corporate Plan while addressing a projected £91.3 million budget shortfall by 2028/29.
Hounslow Council's financial strategy is currently supporting the new Corporate Plan, 'A Fairer Future', which was unveiled in July 2026 and approved by Cabinet for recommendation to the Borough Council. This plan outlines strategic priorities for 2026-2030, focusing on creating a more equitable borough through key themes including responsive services and addressing inequalities.
The council is also working to manage a projected budget shortfall of £91.3 million by the 2028/29 financial year, as reported in a revised medium-term financial strategy in July 2025. This shortfall is due to increasing service demand and inflationary pressures. Additionally, in November 2025, the Audit and Governance Committee noted the identification of pandemic influenza as a new corporate risk affecting council objectives.
The One Hounslow Financial Strategy is Hounslow Council's plan for managing its budget and resources, aimed at rebuilding reserves and ensuring sustainable service delivery. There are no upcoming meetings currently scheduled where this topic is listed on the agenda.
