Forward Plan
Councils are reviewing and updating their Forward Plans, which outline upcoming decisions and committee work programmes.
In September 2026, Waltham Forest Council's Health and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee reviewed its Scrutiny Work Programme and Forward Plan. The Children and Families Scrutiny Committee also considered its forward plan and action tracker that month. Hounslow Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee included the Forward Plan on its agenda for review in September 2026, alongside discussions on cyber security and contract performance.
A Forward Plan is a document outlining upcoming key decisions and future activities for a council's executive or committees, often used for pre-decision scrutiny. For example, in October 2025, Greenwich Council's Forward Plan outlined decisions on a new e-bike scheme, new food waste fees, and the future of the Woolwich Waterfront Leisure Centre site. Hillingdon Council's Corporate Resources & Infrastructure Select Committee also discussed its Forward Plan in September 2025.
