Summary

The Corporate Director of Children, Young People & Education decided on 07/08/2026 to agree to terminate the contract for the Provision of Children's Residential Services with St Christopher’s on 3 months’ notice. This decision was made due to concerns about the outcomes experienced by children and the provider's inability to consistently demonstrate the required capability. The decision includes intensifying monitoring of children during the notice period to ensure their safety and well-being.

The Executive Mayor and Cabinet were recommended on 14/10/2026 to authorise consultation on renewing the Public Space Protection Order in Thornton Heath and the surrounding area for a further three years. This decision aims to continue tackling anti-social behaviour, including street drinking and public nuisance, which has seen a reduction of 3.4% in the PSPO area. The consultation will gather feedback from the public and partners.
