The Borough Council of Hounslow
Hounslow Council is currently making decisions on licensing applications, constitutional updates, and new social care provisions for children.
In September 2026, Hounslow Council's Licensing Panel permitted a Tesco Express on Whitton Road to sell alcohol, though with significantly reduced hours. This decision followed 26 objections and a petition from residents concerned about potential public nuisance and disorder.
Also in September 2026, the Audit and Governance Committee approved revisions to the Planning Committee's terms of reference to comply with the Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025. That month, the council's Cabinet also approved plans for a new six-bed children's home, part of the West London Residential Project, to support looked-after children with complex needs.
