1 story · discussed at 1 council meeting · 2 councils

Lewisham Council is scrutinising social housing decarbonisation as a key part of its 2026-27 climate emergency response work programme.

Lewisham Council's Sustainable Development Committee decided in July 2026 to include social housing decarbonisation in its 2026-27 work programme. This focus is part of the council's broader efforts on the climate and ecological crisis, explicitly linking sustainability to housing. The committee met on July 16, 2026, to review proposed scrutiny items.

The committee, chaired by Councillor Kate Anderson, will scrutinise social housing decarbonisation alongside other key areas such as renewable energy rollout and waste management. This work programme sets the agenda for the council's ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions from social housing properties.
