About us
Our aim is to deliver high quality services at a competitive price. What matters for us is what works best for our residents.
The Council is a £500 million a year business operation. We hold 30 separate Government Charter Mark awards for excellence, achieving more than any other council in the country and we match this with the lowest average council tax bills anywhere in the UK.
Wandsworth is a full-service authority with major responsibilities in education, social services, housing and leisure. It tackles key urban issues of planning, traffic, crime and regeneration and works closely with its partners in the police and the local NHS.
Many of our services are delivered directly through a workforce numbering around 7,000 staff. We also work extensively with the private sector and other agencies. There is no dogma that says private or public provision is best.
