Bexley Council Services: Housing, Care, Support & Safety
Overview
The London Borough of Bexley sits on the south-east edge of Greater London and borders the River Thames to the north. The borough includes many well-known neighbourhoods, including Belvedere, Thamesmead, Erith, Slade Green, Welling, Sidcup, Crayford, Foots Cray, Blackfen, Bexleyheath and Bexley. Together, these communities make Bexley a varied and welcoming place to live, work and raise a family.
As a London borough, we deliver the full range of local authority services to around 246,000 residents. Our services support everyday life, from social care and safeguarding to housing support, education, environmental services, planning, highways, customer services and community safety. We aim to provide services that are reliable, respectful and focused on the needs of residents.
Like many councils, we operate in a challenging climate. That is why we focus on delivering better value and doing things differently. We look for smarter ways to work, including sharing services with other boroughs where it improves outcomes, increasing access to services online, working closely with communities and the voluntary sector, and using our buildings and resources more efficiently. This approach helps us protect frontline services and keep improving how we serve residents.
Bexley prides itself on being practical and innovative. Our aim is to champion the best interests of local communities and deliver the best services we can. We are committed to public service values and to working in partnership to make life better across the borough.
