Hammersmith & Fulham raises over £5m for local green projects — a UK first
20 June 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Hammersmith & Fulham Council has topped £5 million in funding secured for local ecological improvements — a milestone the council describes as a first for any local authority in the UK.
The announcement, made on 18 June 2026, marks the cumulative result of a programme encouraging residents and businesses across the borough to back green initiatives. Projects funded through the scheme span a range of environmental improvements, from greening streets and planting trees to supporting local biodiversity and cleaner air measures — work that residents in Fulham will have noticed taking shape in parks, alongside roads and on housing estates over recent years.
The £5 million figure is significant not just as a number but as a signal of what sustained, community-backed environmental investment can achieve at a borough level. H&F has been among the more active London councils on climate and ecology commitments, and this milestone appears to reflect both council strategy and genuine resident engagement.
Full details of which projects have benefited — and how residents can continue to support future schemes — are available via the council's website. H&F tops £5m for green projects – UK first
