Capital programme adjustments
Wandsworth Council is currently addressing a £7.7 million transport budget savings target, driven by funding cuts and London Plan mandates.
Wandsworth Council is currently working to address a £7.7 million savings target for its transport budget, which it needs to achieve by 2027. This financial pressure, detailed by Councillor Nick Austin, Cabinet Member for Transport, in September 2026, stems from changes in government funding and mandates from the London Plan.
The London Plan requires a doubling of housing provision over the next four years, while simultaneously reducing associated Section 106 income by 50%. This is compounded by an £84 million reduction in central government funding, which is set to be phased in from April 2027 over three years.
