Information about our priorities, innovations and achievements

Hammersmith & Fulham is LGC Council of the Year for 2010!

Currently under Conservative control, the administration's priorities are:

• reducing council tax
• cracking down on crime and antisocial behaviour
• and delivering cleaner and greener streets and open spaces.

Our recent innovations and achievements

• We are the only council to have cut council tax four years running.
• We have put more beat Bobbies on patrol in all our town centres, deterring crime and antisocial behaviour.
• We are making our streets cleaner, improving refuse collections and improving parks.
• We have opened the first new library in the borough in 40 years - the new Shepherds Bush library has been delivered at virtually no cost to the taxpayer.
• We continue to support our most vulnerable residents, providing a wider safety net than most other councils and spending more on Freedom Passes.
• We have begun integrating the council and the primary care trust, to join up local services.
• We have an ambitious market-testing programme to drive up standards and help cut costs.
