The Cabinet made a number of decisions. The most significant of these was to proceed with the planned closure of the Markhouse Centre in Walthamstow. This was despite extensive opposition to the closure from service users, their families and trades unions, including through a petition to keep the centre open. The Cabinet also agreed to the continuation of the ‘All East’ integrated sexual health service in a joint arrangement with Newham, Tower Hamlets and Redbridge, and voted to adopt a new scheme for the Local Council Tax Support Scheme from 2025/26.
