2 stories · 2 councils

Camden and Hackney councils are implementing and reviewing recommendations from their recent Corporate Peer Challenges.

Camden Council is implementing actions from a Corporate Peer Challenge (CPC) conducted in November 2025 by the Local Government Association. The challenge identified Camden as a well-run council and made 12 recommendations to enhance services and strategic direction, which the council is now acting upon, as reported in September 2026.

Hackney Council's Corporate Committee reviewed progress on its Corporate Peer Challenge recommendations in March 2026. The initial challenge, which took place in September 2024, resulted in eleven recommendations, including addressing reliance on reserves and the pace of asset disposals. A one-year review of these recommendations was conducted in October 2025.
