Lambeth Council is currently addressing discrepancies in housing delivery figures, highlighted by information obtained through Freedom of Information requests.

Lambeth Council is currently addressing questions about its housing delivery figures, after Councillor Scott Ainslie used a Freedom of Information (FOI) request to highlight discrepancies in July 2026. The FOI request indicated that only four council houses were built between 2018 and January 2022, which appeared to contradict figures presented in previous council minutes.

This topic is not currently scheduled for discussion at any upcoming council meetings. Freedom of Information requests allow individuals to access information held by public bodies, providing a mechanism for scrutiny of council data.
