Hammersmith & Fulham Council
Hammersmith & Fulham Council is working to make their local area cleaner and greener to support people and nature
Hammersmith & Fulham Council is working to make their patch of London cleaner and greener. Its top-rated climate and ecological strategy and action plan - developed in collaboration with residents - guides their ambitious journey to making H&F carbon net zero.
The council aims to raise £5 million through a series of investments which will help fund a range of projects from their climate action programme. These will include projects that can cut carbon emissions, as well as improving the local environment and helping residents adapt to the impact of the changing climate on its urban borough.
Hammersmith & Fulham Council is at the forefront of the green finance revolution. Investors know that their money is being invested in projects that will make a positive impact on our communities, and people’s lives.
Meanwhile, it means that the council can deliver climate and ecological projects cost-effectively, which will help save taxpayer money. It’s a rare win-win-win.

How the council is spending the money
Nearly £500,000 has been fully spent on completed green projects across the borough, and approximately £2.4 million’s worth of green projects are currently in delivery – from design and consultation through to construction on the ground.
Completed projects include new award-winning rain gardens at King Street in Hammersmith, creating natural flood defences while enhancing the street scene for local businesses and residents. Similar schemes are blooming in Edith Road, West Kensington, and Purscell Crescent in Fulham. Meanwhile at Westville Road in Shepherds Bush, old tarmac is making way for sustainable drainage, trees and new paths, bringing a biodiversity boost to the new and improved park area.
These projects join other success stories like the transformation from concrete paddling pool to green sanctuary at Eelbrook Common and a new community garden in Frank Banfield Park – all funded with money raised from H&F Green Investment.
