improving, held with strong confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2026-07.

Only the December 2024 reading was recorded as unfavourable against the usual pattern for that month. Household income per head rose to £49,715 in 2024, and pay ends the period clearly higher.
A view is formed only where the evidence names a figure you can check. Each movement listed as a reason had to be large enough to matter and distinctive in at least one way — unusual against this area's own history, unusual against comparable areas, or sustained over several periods. A movement shared with peers counts for less, because it says something about the country rather than about Wandsworth. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.
