Protected: Better and Fairer Lambeth

In the past, the majority of council funding came from Central Government, allocated according to need. This means we need to find better and fairer ways to raise money for vital services for Lambeth’s most vulnerable residents.

Our financial challenge

Have your say on changes to Lambeth council

Due to the impact of cuts from central government – we will be making some tough choices about the services we offer. We want to make sure that the opinions of the people who depend on us for support are taken into account.

From January 2019 we will be launching a series consultations which everyone who lives and works in Lambeth is encouraged to contribute to. Sign up below to be kept up to date on the process and have your say.
