Hillingdon Council leaders are considering rescheduling Shareholder Committee meetings to daytime slots from their current evening schedule.

Hillingdon Council leaders are considering rescheduling future Shareholder Committee meetings to daytime slots, moving from the current 7.15 PM evening schedule. This suggestion was made by Councillor Steve Tuckwell, Leader of the Council, during a committee meeting on September 17, 2026. The committee, which monitors council-owned companies, noted its forward planner outlining future dates and its work programme.

In July 2025, Westminster City Council's Shareholder Committee discussed the financial performance of Westminster Builds, its housing investment arm. A report indicated a lower-than-expected operating profit of £0.531m for the year ending March 2025, against a business plan assumption of £0.600m. This was primarily attributed to higher service charges, despite income from investments reaching £2.418m.

The Shareholder Committee is a body responsible for overseeing the council's shareholdings and monitoring the activities of council-owned companies. While Hillingdon Council's committee noted its forward planner in September 2026, no specific upcoming meeting dates or agenda items have been announced for either council.
