Access Islington – council tax enquiries

Due to technical issues, Access Islington is currently unable to help with council tax queries over the phone or at our hubs.

You can still manage your council tax online through My Islington, including viewing your bill and making payments.

We’re working to resolve this as quickly as possible and are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

If you need to speak to someone about council tax, please try again later.

Premises appearance and layout

We expect premises to:

  • have an external appearance which is in keeping with the locality
  • prevent the display outside the premises of photographs or other images which may be construed as offensive to public decency
  • adequate lighting to allow monitoring of all public areas
  • surveillance by CCTV
  • surveillance by CCTV of all private booths.
