Promises
What each party promised Hammersmith & Fulham in its 2026 manifesto, quoted word for word, and where each pledge stands now. Every party is held to the same rules.
Labour, which runs the council, made 9 headline pledges: 5 are promised with nothing in council papers yet, 2 are in a council plan and 2 are being delivered. Conservative, in opposition, made 9 headline pledges; opposition pledges are costed so voters can compare, but cannot be delivered from opposition.
Council decisions that move a pledge are added to its timeline once an editor confirms them.
By party: Hammersmith & Fulham Labour, Hammersmith and Fulham Conservatives. By topic: Care for older and disabled adults, Climate and environment, Community safety, Health, Housing and homelessness, Parks, libraries and leisure, Planning and the local economy, Running the council, Streets, waste and transport, Young people and jobs.

How pledges are tracked
Each party’s own headline pledges get a card, quoted exactly with the manifesto page and an archived copy. The party with more than half the seats runs the council; the same rules apply to every party.
- Promised
- Pledged, with an archived source. Nothing in council papers yet.
- In plan
- A Cabinet or committee decision, or an adopted strategy.
- Delivering
- Under way: the service has started, a contract is let or works are on site.
- Opposition pledge
- Made by a party that does not run the council. Tracked if it ever can be delivered.
A pledge moves up only on evidence from council papers. Any councillor or party named on a card can reply, and replies are published. Who represents you: your ward’s councillors.
