Getting the basics right
Kensington and Chelsea Council has adopted 'Getting the basics right' as a key priority in its new four-year plan.
Kensington and Chelsea Council adopted 'Getting the basics right' as a key priority within its new four-year plan for 2026-2030 in October 2026. This priority is part of a broader strategy approved by the council, which also includes 'Clean streets and amazing spaces' and 'Value for money', as it addresses significant financial challenges.
The council's plan is being implemented against an expected funding gap of over £120 million, largely due to the 'Fairer Funding' formula, which is projected to reduce resources by £108 million over four years. No further discussions or decisions specifically on 'Getting the basics right' are currently scheduled.
