Hillingdon Council is addressing housing shortages, implementing new HMO licensing, and making decisions on waste management and service provision.

Hillingdon Council is currently focusing on housing, having provided 510 social housing lettings in the past year and completed over 12,000 home repairs between April and August 2026. The council also refused 22 of 25 Houses in Multiple Occupation applications since new licensing regulations came into effect in August 2026, as reported in September 2026. Councillor Nick Denys noted the chronic shortage of social housing, particularly for larger properties.

In September 2026, the council approved the publication and consultation of its Proposed Submission West London Waste Plan and permanently closed the West Drayton Waste Weekend Service, saving £300,000 annually. Hillingdon Council was also appointed a Children's Improvement Team provider and is seizing vehicles used in fly-tipping. The Cabinet approved the sale of the former Sea Cadets Hut site in September 2026.

The council is preparing for an Age-Friendly Festival on 30 September 2026, offering information and health checks for older residents. Background discussions include the defeat of a motion to pause rent increases for businesses in September 2026 and changes to the Council Tax Reduction scheme in April 2026, which negatively impact vulnerable residents.
