Merton Council is reviewing its constitution to prepare for its evolving role as a landlord.
Merton Council is undertaking a review of its constitution to ensure robust governance structures for future challenges, including its evolving role as a landlord. The Governance Standards and Audit Committee discussed the progress of audits and reports in September 2026, with its work programme highlighting the need for this constitutional review.
The review aims to ensure the council is in readiness for upcoming changes related to its function as a landlord, which involves owning and managing its housing stock. No further meetings on this specific topic are currently scheduled.
