The meeting decided to proceed with the next phase of selective licensing for landlords, despite some concerns from Councillors about the timing of the decision. This means that landlords of private rented properties in 19 wards in Lambeth will require a licence from July 2025. Separately, the meeting also agreed a series of measures aimed at reducing the number of primary school places in the borough, including the closure of two schools and two amalgamations.
