Access Islington – council tax enquiries

Due to technical issues, Access Islington is currently unable to help with council tax queries over the phone or at our hubs.

You can still manage your council tax online through My Islington, including viewing your bill and making payments.

We’re working to resolve this as quickly as possible and are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

If you need to speak to someone about council tax, please try again later.

How our parks are maintained

Most of our parks and many estate green spaces are maintained by our Grounds Maintenance Service. However, at some of our parks this carried out by local residents.

Sustainable grounds maintenance

  • Designing drought tolerant planting schemes, including herbaceous perennials which need minimal watering when established. 
  • Reducing the amount of hard surfacing in parks and on streets so that water can drain naturally into the ground.
  • Retaining soil moisture by increasing the use of mulch and by relaxing mowing regimes to create long grass areas. 
  • Increasing use of ground cover planting to reduce weeds and water loss and create habitats for wildlife. 
  • Reducing the use of pesticides. 
  • Increasing use of organic mulch to increase soil fertility, improve soil structure, increase soil fauna and increase water retention. 
  • Protecting wildlife and biodiversity with the Parks Habitat Action Plan.
  • Taintaining meadows and woodland areas.

The council's Greenspace Service has a certified ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. You can download Islington Council's Environmental Policy (PDF).
