The Kensington and Chelsea Council Leadership Team met on Tuesday, 10 February 2026, to discuss and approve the council's revenue budget, capital programme, and council tax for the upcoming financial year. Key decisions included approving a 4.99% council tax increase, reducing council tax support by 10%, and awarding contracts for older persons' day opportunities services.

Revenue Budget, Capital Programme, and Council Tax 2026/27

The Leadership Team approved the revenue budget estimates for submission to the Council, noting the significant £108 million funding reduction imposed by central government. To balance the budget, a council tax increase of 2.99% for general council tax and a further 2% for the Adult Social Care Precept was agreed. This overall increase of 4.99% is within the government's referendum threshold. The budget also includes provisions for inflation, service demand pressures, and new savings proposals totalling £21.1 million. The capital programme for 2025/26 to 2028/29 was also approved, with a total investment of £186.2 million planned for housing needs, schools, highways, environment, open spaces, council buildings, and digital infrastructure.

Proposed Changes to the Council Tax Support Scheme for 2026/27

Following public consultation, the Leadership Team agreed to Option B, which reduces the maximum council tax support by 10%, meaning claimants will be required to pay at least 10% of their council tax charge from April 2026. This decision was made in response to the £108 million funding reduction from the government. Officers confirmed that this reduction would not affect pensioners or other vulnerable residents who would still be entitled to 100% support. The council would still maintain one of the most supportive schemes in Greater London, with the cost of assistance amounting to £13.6 million.

Update on the Grenfell Support Programme

The Leadership Team agreed to changes to the Grenfell Community Support programme, as outlined in Section 7 of the main report. These changes aim to increase the number of eligible residents applying for annual well-being grants and to simplify the renewal process. The programme is funded from a global settlement separate from other council funding.

Contract Award for Six Older Persons' Day Opportunity Services

Contracts were approved for the provision of various older persons' day opportunity services. Age UK Kensington and Chelsea secured contracts for Volunteer delivered and Community Services (£3,312,834.21) and Community Dementia Services (£518,817). Octavia Housing Limited was awarded the contract for Integrated Day Centre & Drop In (£2,937,276.00). Open Age secured contracts for the North and South Age Well Hub (£3,481,660.00) and Bridging and Befriending (£554,371.00). Authority was delegated to the Executive Director to extend these contracts, and a retrospective decision was acknowledged for the direct award of a contract to The Pepper Pot Centre for Community hub / day services (£191,964.50).

Cyber-Attack – Incident Summary and Recovery Plans

The Leadership Team noted the update on the cyber security incident, approved a general delegation to the Chief Executive to implement the cyber recovery programme, and agreed that delegations would be exercised in accordance with financial and procurement controls. Further reports will be brought to the Leadership Team as appropriate, and the Audit and Transparency Committee will receive reports on the incident and recovery.
