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.

Apply for an A-board licence

If you want to advertise your business using an A-board on a public street then you must apply for a licence from us.

Please note, A-boards are not permitted on TFL red routes. 

Apply for an Advertising board (A-board) licence

If you want to advertise your business using an A-board on a public street which is outside of a tables and chairs licensed area, you must apply for a licence from us. If granted, the licence will run from the date of issue for a period of one year. You can submit an online application form using this online form along with details of the proposed a-board indicating:

  • dimensions, width of pavement and its proximity to the kerb.
  • photo or illustration type of A-Board you propose to use
  • a public liability insurance policy for the sum of £5 million or above

The fee will be payable once your application is approved; we will contact you with payment details.

Fees

The fees are per item and the amount is dependent on the road banding:

  • Band A = £515.00
  • Band B = £369.00
  • Band C = £157.00

See what banding your street falls under. Please note:

  • you cannot place A-boards on a highway until a licence has been agreed and issued.
  • A-boards are not permitted on Transport for London red routes.
