The Overview and Scrutiny Committee of Lambeth Council is scheduled to meet on Monday 21 September 2026. The meeting's agenda includes discussions on the council's new homes programme, its active leisure strategy, and the events policy. Additionally, the committee will review its work programme for the upcoming year.
New Homes Programme and Delivery of New Homes
A key item scheduled for discussion is the New Homes Programme and the delivery of new homes within the borough. This will involve a review of the development of the new Local Plan, the council's approach to partnering with the private sector for housing development, and plans for the direct construction of council-owned homes, including the associated financial commitments.
Lambeth's Active Leisure Strategy
The committee's agenda also includes a review of Lambeth's Active Leisure Strategy. This discussion is expected to cover the progress made in implementing the strategy, the council's initiatives aimed at improving residents' health outcomes, and a review of the management transfer of leisure centres from Better to Active Lambeth.
Events Policy and Strategy
Consideration is also scheduled for the Events Policy and Strategy. This topic will involve a review of plans for events in the borough's parks, focusing on how community benefits are balanced with resident concerns. The discussion is also expected to cover the drafting of a new events policy, consultation plans, and potential options and costings for the return of the Lambeth Country Show.
Scrutiny Review Report and Action Plan
The committee is also set to review a Scrutiny Review Report and its associated Action Plan. The aim of this agenda item is to agree on the recommendations and the action plan stemming from a previous scrutiny review.
Work Programme
Finally, the committee will discuss its Work Programme for 2026-27. This will involve reviewing the draft work programme and identifying any necessary amendments. The committee will also note the action monitoring log and identify any required changes. This discussion will help shape the committee's focus and agenda items for upcoming meetings.
