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.

Carer permits

As a carer for an Islington resident you may be eligible to purchase a carer permit.

Applicants do not need to live in Islington to apply for a carer permit.

We ask that you take a carer needs assessment so that any other support needs you may have as a carer can be looked at. These are carried out by social care services. Once your carer needs assessment has been completed, you can apply for a carer permit.

Carer permit costs are the same as a resident parking permit and allows you to park with the same terms and conditions. Prices are based on the CO2 emissions (or battery size if electric) of your vehicle as shown in the residents permit costs table.
Carers are exempt from the diesel surcharge.
Carers who use a motorcycle can also apply for a motorcycle permit at the same price as residents.
