The Hampstead District Management Committee is scheduled to meet on 4 December 2025 to discuss the Housing Revenue Account budget, Camden's grounds maintenance and play service, and fly-tipping in Camden. The committee will also discuss the Hampstead DMC budget and consider any local issues raised by representatives.

Housing Revenue Account Budget

The committee is scheduled to receive an update on the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) 2026/27 Budget setting progress. According to the agenda, this is in advance of the January Joint DMC meeting, where representatives will be asked to provide feedback on proposals. The HRA is a ring-fenced account that local authorities use to manage income and expenditure related to their social housing stock¹.

Camden's Grounds Maintenance and Play Service

The committee is scheduled to receive a presentation on Camden's Grounds Maintenance and Play Service. The presentation will cover the recommissioning process for the Grounds Maintenance Contract (GM), including the procurement process for the outsourced element and detail on the in-house element of the service. The presentation is also scheduled to set out the delivery model for the future grounds maintenance service in reference to housing land and residents.

Fly-Tipping in Camden

The committee is scheduled to consider a briefing paper about fly-tipping in Camden and Hampstead Town Ward. Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste on public or private land².

Hampstead DMC Budget Report

The committee is scheduled to discuss the Hampstead DMC Budget Report. Tenant and Resident Associations (TRAs) will be asked to provide an update regarding the progress of agreed bids, including an update on the associated spend. TRAs have been invited to circulate any relevant information in advance.

The agenda states that TRAs are encouraged to submit bids as soon as possible, so they can be properly assessed and prepared by officers, ready for submission to the DMC. TRAs are reminded that verbal bids cannot be accepted at DMC meetings as, in line with the guidelines, officers need to be able to assess bids before passing them to the DMC. Information on DMC bids can be found on the Camden Council website.

Registration of Tenant Associations

The committee is scheduled to review the registration of Tenant and Resident Associations (TRAs). Appendix A of the agenda lists the TRAs that have satisfactorily completed the registration process. It also provides details of the representatives of those associations to be co-opted onto the DMC, along with the names of substitutes. Appendix B lists those TRAs whose registrations have lapsed. The agenda states that if a TRA wishes to register, it must hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM), open to all members, once a year, with an independent observer in attendance. The minutes must be sent to the Tenants Participation Team, along with a membership list and a completed registered form.

Other Items

The agenda also includes items such as:

• Approval of the minutes of the previous meeting held on 18th September 2025.
• An update on action points arising from the previous meeting.
• A tenant engagement report for Quarter 2 of 2025/2026.
• Consideration of any local issues raised by DMC representatives.
