Greenwich Council is facing extraordinary financial pressure due to a decade of underfunding and rising service costs, impacting its ability to meet housing needs.
Despite saving £33.7 million last year, the council anticipates a budget gap of at least £27 million for the upcoming year due to escalating demand.
The council is asking residents to help shape the 2025-2026 budget, emphasizing the importance of community input on spending priorities and service impact.
A spokesperson highlighted the challenges of managing a well-run council with significant historical underfunding and the need for transparent communication with residents.
