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.

Fly-posting

How we are tackling the problem of fly-posting and how you can help us by reporting it.

Fly-posting is the display of advertising material on buildings and street furniture without the owner's permission. It is against the law.

Penalties for fly-posting

Police and our authorised officers can issue a fixed penalty notice (FPN) of £500 for fly-posting offences. This helps cover the costs of removing the material. 

It is also criminal damage and this can mean a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.

Report fly-posting

You can report fly-posting by:

  • downloading the Love Clean Streets app to your phone from Google Play or the Apple store
  • logging into your My Islington account or signing up if you do not have one so you can track your reports and access more services, like council tax
  • reporting it privately on the Love Clean Streets website - you will not be able to track your report if you choose this option

Permission to advertise

Sometimes we give permission to display adverts, if they meet our standards.

To ask for permission to advertise, email details of the advert, where it should go and how long it will be up for to neighbourhood.patrol@islington.gov.uk.
