Havering Council capital programme
Havering Council is reviewing its capital programme due to financial pressures and savings shortfalls.
Havering Council is urgently reviewing its capital programme, which outlines its plan for major projects and investments, to identify schemes that can be delayed or withdrawn. This review, revealed at an Overview & Scrutiny Board meeting in October 2025, is in response to increasing financial pressures.
The council faces a projected £88 million capitalisation direction, which was provisionally agreed with the Government in February 2025 and used to balance the 2025/26 budget. The council is also grappling with delivering £10.254 million of agreed savings.
