The Cabinet meeting on Monday 23 February 2026 focused heavily on the Council's financial planning for the upcoming years, including a proposed 2% increase in Council Tax to address a significant budget gap. Key decisions were made regarding the revenue and capital budgets, the Treasury Management Strategy, and the Housing Revenue Account Business Plan, all aimed at supporting the Council's 'Fairer Westminster' strategy amidst challenging economic conditions and reduced central government funding. The Cabinet also approved the award of a new, consolidated Highways and Public Realm Contract to FM Conway Limited, designed to improve efficiency and embed social value and carbon reduction commitments.
