Camden Council is enhancing services, improving children's community support, and boosting food waste recycling efforts.

Camden Council is implementing actions from a Corporate Peer Challenge report, conducted in November 2025, to enhance services and strategic direction, as reported in September 2026. The Cabinet also approved a new framework for children's community services in September 2026, jointly procured with Islington Council, to support disabled children and those with additional needs.

In September 2026, Camden's Cabinet backed improvements for food waste recycling, aligning with national legislation requiring food waste collection by April 2026. The council is also extending funding for the Camden Advice Network, with Cabinet approving a 12-month extension of £1 million in July 2026 to support residents facing financial hardship.

Discussions on the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) Medium Term Financial Strategy were on the agenda for District Management Committees in September 2026, following a report in December 2025 that highlighted a £201 million loss in potential rental income since 2016. The council's new Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy for 2025-2030, unveiled in December 2025, includes plans to buy back 280 homes to house homeless families.
