Inspection of Accounts

National legislation — the Local Audit and Accountability Act (2014) and the Accounts and Audit Regulations (2015) — gives registered voters the right to inspect their local authority’s accounts, ask questions about them and object to them, during a period of 30 working days every year.

Your New Town Hall key facts

Your New Town Hall (YNTH) is a wide-ranging project to eventually reduce Lambeth Council’s core office buildings from 14 to two – including the refurbished Town Hall and the new Civic Centre - saving at least £4.5m a year. The programme also includes 219 new homes for rent and sale - of which 47 per cent will be affordable – and will open up the Town Hall for community and business use.

The total construction cost for the Town Hall/Civic Centre work is currently forecast at £68m, while the total development cost - including a number of other costs relating to site purchases, offices and housing – is £104m
