Imagine a borough where homes are not only warmer but also more affordable to heat.
Where nature thrives, air is cleaner, and people are healthier.
Where strong communities create jobs and reduce inequality.
Where the risks of local flooding and extreme heat are less of a threat.
These are real benefits we can secure for Havering residents today and for future generations.
Havering Council is taking practical steps to protect our borough, strengthen our economy, and secure a better future for local families.
Our vision is for a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable Havering.
A place where it’s safe and easy to get around, and where we leave a healthy legacy for our children and grandchildren.
This includes becoming a carbon neutral council by 2040 and supporting borough-wide changes that enhance daily life for our residents.
Since the launch of our first Havering Climate Change Action Plan (HCCAP) in August 2021, we’ve identified key challenges and areas for action to protect and care for our local environment and ensure a smart energy transition for the Council.
With progress made in government policy and technology, we’ve updated our plan with new actions running through to 2027.
You can read the refreshed HCCAP to learn more about our next steps.
