Inequality
Councils are currently discussing and implementing plans to address inequality, particularly through affordable housing initiatives and broader borough action plans.
In November 2026, Southwark councillors questioned the ambition of the council’s target to build 500 genuinely affordable homes. This target is part of the new Borough Action Plan, which aims to make the borough more affordable, safe, and green. The Overview and Scrutiny Committee reviewed the plan’s priorities and approach on 4 November 2026.
Southwark Council Assembly adopted a motion in September 2026 outlining ambitions for an affordable, safe, and green borough. Separately, Ealing Council’s Cabinet approved a capital budget for the acquisition of 95 affordable homes at Bollo Yard in July 2026. Inequality refers to disparities in opportunities and outcomes, such as access to affordable housing.
