In July 2025, Croydon Council's Future Croydon Transformation Plan (2024–2029), which aims to overhaul the council into a more efficient and resident-centred organisation and includes the Target Operating Model, was facing potential disruption. Reports indicated that the government was considering appointing commissioners, which could impact the plan's projected savings, governance, and risk management strategies.
Also in July 2025, the council's financial situation showed a provisional general fund revenue budget overspend of £29.2 million for 2024-25, reduced to a £0.7 million underspend through one-off measures. Following a Homes Sub-Committee recommendation, Croydon Council decided to assess the impact of its housing actions on other services and the voluntary sector.
