Make your views known on
Council's budget plans
 Romford residents and business people are
encouraged to comment on Havering Council's budget proposals before the deadline of Thursday 17
December 2015.
We have launched
our budget consultation after plans to save £24 million over the next three
years were passed by Cabinet.
|
 The proposals outline how we aim to make the savings by generating income through the introduction of a housing company and investing in renewable energy; by managing demand through encouraging residents to engage with us online and limiting the amount of waste left out for collection.
The full Budget Report can be read here.

Super seven sweep streets
Havering Council has invested more than £100,000 in
a new fleet of street cleaning machines, in a major boost to the Cleaner
Havering Campaign.
A new £40,000 pavement washer and sweeper will be
joined on the streets by three smaller pavement sweepers and three new chewing
gum removal machines.
The larger machine can also wash down pavement areas and jet wash street
furniture such as bins and benches.

Low Emission Neighbourhood
Havering Council has been awarded £25,000 by the Greater London Authority to develop plans
for a Low
Emission Neighbourhood (LEN) in the corridor between Gidea Park and Romford
stations. If successful, up to £1 million could be awarded for schemes to improve
transport, air quality and public health in the local LEN.
|
 If you see something that needs improving in Romford please report it using the Council’s
online forms.
The forms cover a wide range of issues from fly-tipping to
potholes. Completing the correct form sends it direct to the right
people to deal with that issue.
