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.

Housing strategy

Our ambition to make Islington a fairer and more equal place starts with everyone in our community having a decent, genuinely affordable and safe place to call home.

Our Housing Strategy 2021-2026: A home for all and the accompanying Action Plan set out our five priorities:

  1. Build new council homes – increase the supply of genuinely affordable, low carbon homes in Islington
  2. Maintain council homes well – providing safe, energy efficient and comfortable homes and estates
  3. Support residents to live well in their homes and communities
  4. Prevent homelessness and support rough sleepers
  5. Standing up for private renters.
