General Fund Capital Programme
Wandsworth Council is allocating funds for Town Hall refurbishment, while Westminster scrutinises its capital programme.
Wandsworth Council's Finance Overview and Scrutiny Committee approved a £3 million allocation in October 2026 for the refurbishment of Wandsworth Town Hall, as part of the General Fund Capital Programme which outlines capital expenditure on long-term assets. This funding aims to secure the building's future and provide efficient office space. The project is expected to be self-financing through the release of surplus accommodation and capital receipts, with the allocated funds enabling the procurement of a consultant team.
Separately, Westminster City Council's Value for Money and Innovation Policy and Scrutiny Committee scrutinised the council's Capital Programme in June 2026 as part of its work programme review. Looking ahead, Wandsworth Council's Cabinet is scheduled to discuss the General Fund Capital Programme at its meeting on 12 October 2026.
