Our response to Government consultations

The Council is consulted by the Government, the Greater London Authority (GLA) and partner organisations such as local housing associations.

Purpose

These organisations seek our views and input, such as when they publish their own strategies or redesign services.

We feed back to our partners with local knowledge and we aim to shape their plans to accomplish the best possible outcomes for borough residents.
