Hammersmith and Fulham Council is currently addressing late-night licensing for new venues and managing a projected budget overspend for 2026/27.

Hammersmith and Fulham Council's Licensing Sub-Committee approved late-night alcohol sales for Hammersmith Civic Campus venues in September 2026, allowing sales until 3 AM despite resident objections regarding noise and public nuisance. This decision covers alcohol sales, films, music, and late-night refreshment. Earlier in July 2026, the council's sub-committee denied a late licence for a music venue due to noise complaints but granted a limited late-night licence to a chicken shop.

The council's Audit Committee approved the 2025/26 financial statements with an unqualified opinion in September 2026, indicating a true and fair view of its financial position. However, a report to the Cabinet in September 2026 projected a £14.3 million overspend on the 2026/27 revenue budget, attributed to rising costs and increased demand in services like adult social care and temporary accommodation.

The Audit Committee is scheduled to meet again in November 2026 and March 2027 to review risk management processes. In September 2026, the Cabinet approved plans for a new primary school and 91 homes on the Avonmore Primary School site, and the Linford Christie Stadium renovation was completed. The council also unveiled its Housing Strategy for 2026-2031 in September 2026.
