Haringey Council is investing £3.6 million in hostel refurbishments to address housing disrepair, while Camden discusses broader housing matters.

Haringey Council approved a £3.6 million contract in March 2026 to refurbish four council-owned hostels in Muswell Hill, addressing housing disrepair. The 12-month contract, signed off by Councillor Sarah Williams, Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning, includes structural repairs, roof improvements, and window replacements.

Separately, Camden Town District Management Committee was scheduled to consider a range of housing matters, including tenant engagement and performance reports, in September 2026. This forms part of ongoing council discussions around housing conditions and related financial strategies.

Housing disrepair refers to the condition of properties that are in a state of damage or decay, requiring repair and maintenance. Councils regularly address this through maintenance programmes, refurbishment projects, and policy discussions.
