Capital Strategy
Councils are reviewing and approving capital strategies and programmes for 2026/27, with some facing financial pressures.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council's Cabinet approved a £452.2 million capital programme for 2026/27 to 2029/30 in February 2026, allocating funds for housing and infrastructure, including £49 million for climate-friendly housing improvements. Greenwich Council's Cabinet also reviewed its Capital Strategy for 2026/27 in February 2026, noting financial pressures on the Housing Revenue Account.
This follows Haringey Council's public consultation in November 2025 on its draft 2026-27 budget and medium-term financial strategy, as the council addressed a significant budget gap. A Capital Strategy outlines a council's approach to managing its capital assets and investments, often as an appendix to a broader financial strategy.
