  2026/27 Revenue Estimates and Council Tax Setting

  

  Report of the Cabinet Member for Finance and Cost of Living.

   

  The Medium Term Financial Strategy agreed by Cabinet in January 2023 not only took steps to ensure that the Council could continue to operate on a sound financial footing over the medium term, but also to align the Council’s limited resources to achieving our ambitions for our borough, residents and communities.

   

  The recommendations in this report build on the Council’s Medium Term Financial Strategy and will support the vision of We Make Camden, to make Camden a place where everyone has a chance to succeed, where nobody gets left behind, and where everybody has a voice.

   

  In summary, this report:

   

  •         Presents budget and funding proposals that will enable the Council to balance its budget in 2026/27 and utilise available resources towards the achievement of the outcomes set out in We Make Camden.

   

  •         Provides an update on the overall medium term financial position for the Council, including details from the multi-year Local Government Finance Settlement for 2026/27 to 2028/29 and other government announcements. It also provides an update on the main areas of financial risk, including the permanent budget pressures across social care and homeless services, as well as the challenging overall financial environment in which the Council is operating.

   

  •         Recommends a council tax increase of 4.99%, made up of:

   

  o       A rise of 2.99% in the 2026/27 core council tax level, to support Council funding at large, and;

  o       A rise of 2% from the levying of an Adult Social Care Precept, to support the Council in its response to the unprecedented demographic and demand pressures facing Adult Social Care.

   

  •         Sets out the required level of council tax income to balance the budget as £165,438,070 (inclusive of the Garden Squares levies), which equates to a proposed Camden element of council tax of £1,696.61 at the Band D level for residents not in Garden Squares.

   

  •         Sets out the Garden Squares levies for 2026/27.

   

  •         Sets out the proposed Greater London Authority precept at £510.51 for Band D properties, an increase of 4.10% on last year (subject to Greater London Authority approval of its draft budget), making the total council tax charge at Band D £2,207.12 for residents not in Garden Squares.

   

  •         Includes the Director of Finance’s assessment of the robustness of the budget and the adequacy of general balances available to manage financial risk.

   

  •         Recommends fees and charges for approval by Cabinet and by Council where required.

   

  •         Recommends a number of capital investments, including helping our high streets and small businesses to thrive, extending our programme to plant 4,000+ trees across the borough and the use of corporate resources to invest in Temporary Accommodation to support people and families at risk of homelessness, alongside updates on our existing retrofit at scale and Children's Social Care accommodation work.
