Stay safe in very hot weather

Very hot weather is expected for the next few days. A red heat-health alert (the highest level) is in place for London on Wednesday and Thursday.

Hot weather can be dangerous and can cause serious illness. Stay safe and look out for others who may be particularly vulnerable to the heat. Read advice on GOV.UK

Cool spaces

There are local cool spaces that are free and open to everyone. Visit them to rest, drink water and stay cool. Find a cool space near you

Access Islington hubs

North and South Access Islington hubs are closed due to the hot weather. The Central Hub is open for urgent, in-person support, until 4pm today (Wednesday 24 June) but avoid travelling unless it is essential.

You can still access our services online and you can call us on 020 7527 2000 if you need to speak to someone.

Resident Impact Assessments

Islington Council is committed to treating everyone with dignity and respect. This means providing equal access to our services and ensuring that positive impacts are shared across our diverse community.

Resident Impact Assessments are carried out by the council when there is a new or changed policy, procedure, function, service activity or financial decision. They help us to identify the potential impact of changes on people with ‘protected characteristics’ (i.e. age, sex, race, sexual orientation, religion and belief etc) in relation to the three aims of the Public Sector Equality Duty (eliminating discrimination, advancing equality and fostering good relations).
