Bromley Council is currently addressing a projected budget overspend, partly attributed to pressures on investment property income.

Bromley Council is currently addressing a projected £4.5 million overspend for the 2026-2027 financial year, with budget monitoring data presented to the Executive in September 2026 highlighting pressures on Income from Investment Properties. This overspend is forecast to lead to a £3,082,000 reduction in the General Fund balance by March 2027.

The council's report noted that this reduction would bring the level of general reserves to £16,918,000 by the end of the financial year. The overspend in Income from Investment Properties was attributed to lease-related factors, as detailed in the September 2026 report.
