Latest News About Hammersmith And Fulham Council

Here are the latest publicly reported items about Hammersmith and Fulham Council.

• The council’s Cabinet approved the 2026/27 revenue budget and a four-year capital programme, amid pressures from rising demand and funding constraints. They also signaled a planned Council Tax increase for 2026/27, part of addressing financial needs in the borough. This includes funding for asset development and the ongoing Hammersmith Bridge restoration efforts. [Source coverage notes: local council reporting and summaries of cabinet decisions in early 2026.]

• The Housing Revenue Account (HRA) budget for 2026/27 was approved, aligning with CPI + 1% social rents policy for the year and resulting in a modest weekly rent increase for tenants. The council’s 10-year HRA plan includes plans for new public housing and energy retrofit investments. [Source coverage notes: budget documents and HRA plan summaries from the same period.]
