Chamber CEO Graham Henderson on London's New Council: What Comes Next?

Survey says | Shift from centre right to the centre left | Mayor Josh Morgan, 2.0 | Reason for optimism | Downtown revitalization | Housing and homelessness | And more...

November 14, 2026

Hello London. I’m Matt Brown and this is The Matt Brown Podcast. It’s the show about all things local, and maybe some other stuff too.

As a leading voice for London’s business community, Chamber of Commerce CEO Graham Henderson is keenly aware of council’s make-up and he watches the decisions they make very carefully.

Back in September, the Chamber surveyed candidates running for city council, but the exercise wasn’t just a snapshot in time.

Since the election, the Chamber has been examining the successful candidates’ survey responses alongside the commitments they made on the campaign trail, including statements on their websites and during debates.

Graham says this analysis paints a pretty clear picture of what this new council is going to be focused on.

We have a lot of ground to cover over the next 25 or so minutes. So, let’s go!
