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

Injured ex-service personnel

Islington Council considers housing applications received from seriously injured and disabled ex-service men and women.

Injuries sustained as a result of active service in the Armed Forces count towards housing medical points. 

Also, bereaved spouses or civil partners of those serving in the regular forces may be considered for welfare points where:

(i) the bereaved spouse or civil partner has recently ceased, or will cease to be entitled to reside in Ministry of Defence accommodation following the death of their service spouse or civil partner, and

(ii) the death was wholly or partly attributable to their service.
