Lawrence Webb, Ukip's leader on the council, said that he is quietly confident his anti-EU grouping will prevail when his motion is voted on.
His motion reads: “Due to the negative impact that EU directives such as the agency working time directive and EU procurement rules have on the ability and cost of Havering Council to fulfil its obligations, this council agrees that Britain would be better off outside the European Union."
The councillor, who stood as Ukip’s candidate for Mayor of London in 2012, was elected as the party’s first councillor in London in 2013.
He said: “Many of the 22 Conservatives on Havering Council are firmly in favour of the UK leaving the EU and have indicated their support for this motion as have a number of the independent local residents’ representatives on the council, so we have sufficient numbers to carry this.
"We will lay down the gauntlet for councils up and down the country to follow suit."
Peter Whittle, Ukip's London mayoral candidate, said: "Havering's vote next week will finally nail the lie that London is pro Britain's membership of the EU. Increasingly people in London understand that Leave is the sensible option for this great city."
The council is planning a live stream of the debate from 7.30pm tonight.
