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.

Improvement works

We review what work we need to carry out to council-owned estates and blocks every seven to ten years. This can include repairs or replacements of roofs, windows, brickwork and external and communal decorations.

If you're a tenant, you will pay for these works as a part of your rent. If you're a leaseholder, there is a charge for these works. Find out how leaseholders pay for major works.

We are committed to ensuring our residents are safe from fire. Find out more about fire safety.
