Haringey Council is currently addressing a significant budget shortfall while progressing major housing developments and operational improvements.

Haringey Council is currently addressing a projected £21.7 million budget shortfall for the current financial year, attributed to base budget pressures and non-delivery of planned savings, as reported to Cabinet in September 2026. The Overview and Scrutiny Committee reviewed the council's financial position in September 2026. This comes as the cost of repairs at Broadwater Farm estate rose to £10 million in August 2026, and the Cabinet approved a £10 million IT upgrade in July 2026.

On housing and development, the council acquired 21 new council homes in Wood Green in August 2026, part of its pledge to build 3,000 homes by 2031. Planning proposals for YMCA Crouch End redevelopment and significant mixed-use developments in Tottenham Hale, including co-living and affordable homes, were presented to the Planning Sub Committee in September and July 2026 respectively, with some Tottenham Hale plans falling short of affordable housing targets.

Haringey Council secured internal audit services through framework agreements with Croydon and Barnet Councils in September 2026, with a contract valued at up to £2.0 million over three years and six months. The council also approved the re-procurement of its housing management system in July 2026 and extended free school meal holiday vouchers until September 2026 through the Crisis and Resilience Fund. The Corporate Parenting Advisory Committee discussed children in care in September 2026, and the Overview and Scrutiny Committee reviewed the council's financial position in September 2026.
