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.

Dedicated parking bays for Blue Badge holders

You may be able to apply for your own disabled parking bay if:

  • there is no other parking within a reasonable walking distance of your home or workplace
  • you are a Blue Badge holder and you can't walk more than 20 metres (you may need a medical assessment first).

If your application is successful, it can take up to six months to install a bay. This is because we must consult local people first. After that, there are a number of legal documents for us to draw up and complete before we can install the bay.
