Hackney Council's Transformation Programme
Hackney Council's Corporate Committee is currently reviewing progress on implementing recommendations from a Local Government Association Corporate Peer Challenge.
Hackney Council's Corporate Committee reviewed progress on its Transformation Programme in March 2026, focusing on implementing recommendations from a Local Government Association (LGA) Corporate Peer Challenge. The council is addressing key risks identified in the challenge, including continued reliance on reserves, the pace of asset disposals, and the long-term sustainability of Adult Social Care spend.
The council accepted all eleven recommendations from the initial LGA challenge, which took place in September 2024, and developed an action plan for their implementation. A one-year review of the challenge's findings was conducted in October 2025. No further meetings are currently scheduled to discuss the programme's progress.
