Wandsworth Council is discussing funding for its youth services and receiving updates on step-free access projects.

Wandsworth's youth services, known as the Wandsworth Youth Offer, recorded over 55,000 attendances in the last two years, with a 33% increase in young people accessing services, a September 2026 story reported. The initiative, which reaches approximately 50% of children in the borough's most deprived communities, is currently facing significant financial pressures.

The Passenger Transport Liaison Group of Wandsworth Council received updates on step-free access projects on the Underground in September 2026. This forms part of a UK government initiative aimed at improving accessibility at railway stations for people with disabilities, including providing step-free access.
