A digital-enabled, modern, well-run council
Our transformation programme continues to deliver value for money for residents by reshaping services.
Digital
- We launched our Digital Strategy, setting out plans to invest £9 million to improve the way residents access services.
Co-locating services and maximising use of assets
- We are co-locating services to make better use of our buildings and enhance services, with work underway to create a new Uxbridge Library and Register Office at the Civic Centre.
- Some NHS teams have moved to the Civic Centre, which will help improve health and care outcomes for residents.
- We sold Barra Hall to Harrow, Richmond, and Uxbridge College to provide essential SEND learning places.
- We relocated South Ruislip Children's Centre to the Wren Centre.
Commissioning specialist operators
- We commissioned specialist operators to run services more sustainably on our behalf, including London Early Years Foundation for our early years centres and Parkwood Theatres for the Beck Theatre.
Other efficiencies
- Our counter fraud team identified savings related to fraud and prevented the loss of more than £8.7 million.
