Investment
Councils are discussing investment in urban regeneration, housing, and treasury management strategies.
In July 2026, Waltham Forest residents demanded improvements to pavements, citing safety concerns. This follows Greenwich Council's development of an Urban Regeneration Framework, initiated in October 2025, to address a perceived lack of investment in the Abbey Wood area and provide safe, well-maintained estates and facilities.
Barking and Dagenham Council reviewed its Treasury Management Strategy in November 2025, updating on investment returns and cash flow management. Separately, Tower Hamlets Cabinet approved a new build housing programme in January 2026, including the acquisition of 329 homes and procurement for 148 new social rented homes.
