Hillingdon Council is addressing significant budget pressures, including a projected £36 million overspend, by introducing new revenue streams.

Hillingdon Council is addressing significant budget pressures, with a projected £36 million overspend reported in November 2025. To generate revenue, the council's cabinet approved the introduction of fees for non-commercial photography in parks and green spaces in November 2025.

These financial challenges, which are outlined in monthly budget monitoring reports, stem from high demand for temporary accommodation and homelessness support, particularly in the vicinity of Heathrow Airport, and consistently high demand for Adult Social Care.
