public outreach
Waltham Forest Council recently approved funding to bolster its communications team as part of efforts to improve debt recovery.
Waltham Forest Council's Cabinet approved additional funding for its communications teams in September 2026. This decision, made during a discussion on the council's budget monitoring, aims to bolster these teams alongside the debt team. The initiative is part of efforts to improve debt recovery, particularly in Adult Social Care, where debt levels remain a significant challenge.
The projected cost for these new and temporary posts within both the debt and communications teams is £0.220m. No further discussions or decisions on public outreach are currently scheduled at Waltham Forest Council or any other council.
