Transforming Bromley 2024-29
Bromley Council's Transforming Bromley 2024-29 programme faces financial pressures as the council projects a £4.5 million overspend.
Bromley Council is currently addressing a projected £4.5 million overspend for the 2026-2027 financial year, as reported in September 2026. Budget monitoring data presented to the Executive indicated this financial pressure is forecast to reduce the General Fund balance by £3,082,000, impacting the Transforming Bromley 2024-29 programme.
The projected overspend is attributed to significant pressures within Adult Social Care, particularly in care placements and staffing, and in Children's Social Care due to placement costs and staffing. An overspend in Income from Investment Properties also contributes to the financial challenges faced by the council.
