Capital Programme
Merton Council recently approved funding for parking infrastructure, while Hammersmith and Fulham set a multi-year capital programme for housing and climate improvements.
Merton Council's Cabinet approved £478,000 in September 2026 from the Parking and Highways fund reserve to finance the installation of ANPR cameras and support parking transformation costs. This funding, allocated to the Environment, Civic Pride and Climate directorate, includes £164,000 for ANPR cameras and £365,000 for parking transformation, as part of a broader initiative to modernise facilities.
Earlier in February 2026, Hammersmith and Fulham Council's Cabinet approved a £452.2 million capital programme for the next four financial years, from 2026/27 to 2029/30. This programme aims to develop and enhance council assets, including significant investments in its 12,000 housing units and £49 million for climate-friendly retrofit projects.
The Capital Programme is a financial plan for capital expenditure on long-term assets like buildings and infrastructure. Councils regularly review their financial performance, with Richmond upon Thames and Lambeth committees discussing financial challenges and forecasts in September 2026, and Merton Council approving its annual budget in May 2026.
