Havering Council’s cabinet meets today. They will talk about local issues. The meeting starts at 7 PM in the town hall. The council will decide on many things.

They will discuss three library closures, along with planned updates on housing projects and education funding. The council published a 1,000-page agenda.

The proposed council tax may rise 4.99 percent. The council will also review Bridge Close plans, a project that delivers 1,070 new homes, including a school, clinic, and shops.

They will check Havering and Wates’ housing progress, including developments like Chippenham Road. The council might acquire land for Chippenham Road. Fire safety changes affect Waterloo & Queen Street plans.

Mercury Land Holdings’ plans are up next. This includes projects like Como Street, and they might reallocate funds to certain projects.

Library closures are a hot topic, with Gidea Park, Harold Wood, and South Hornchurch potentially closing. Most residents opposed these closures, but the council may still approve them.

The council will review education funding and discuss special needs funding. More funds for special units could happen, potentially reaching £30,000 per place.
