We’re determined to make Islington fairer. To create a place where everyone, whatever their background, has the opportunity to reach their potential and enjoy a good quality of life.

Like all councils, we are facing unprecedented challenges as a result of the impact of Covid-19, and we are doing everything we can to support our residents, our staff, local businesses, and the NHS. Delivering on our vision and priorities has never been more important. Could you play a role?

Our priorities

• Jobs and opportunity: delivering an inclusive economy, supporting people into work and ensuring young people have the best possible start
• A safer borough for all: tackling ASB and ensuring young people are safe
