Councillors are set to review a series of vital business plans at tonight's Cabinet meeting (28 January 2026) that will help to shape the borough’s future economic and community development.
The agenda includes multiple regeneration project business plans for Rainham and Beam Park, Bridge Close, and Havering/Wates regeneration joint venture, as well as the business plan for the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) and Mercury Land Holdings, the Council’s wholly-owned development company.
This represents approximately 6,000 homes and schemes and include, where appropriate, schools, open space and public realm, health centres, commercial/retail units, community and business space, all tailored to each scheme and location responding to local needs and population growth.
The overall impact of these investments will deliver significant benefits for Havering’s local economy and communities.
Each scheme will support job creation and provide skills and training opportunities for local people.
In addition, every project will include targets for contract spend with local businesses, ensuring that regeneration brings maximum value to local companies and supports growth across the borough.
Councillor Ray Morgon, Leader of Havering Council, said:
"Tonight’s Cabinet meeting represents an important opportunity to evaluate diverse business proposals that could bring lasting benefits to our community to provide crucial homes and infrastructure for Havering residents.
“By carefully reviewing each plan, Cabinet Members will ensure that decisions are made in the best interests of residents and businesses alike."
The Cabinet meeting will be open to the public, with all documentation available.
