Highbury Labour

From the Quadrant to Highbury Fields, we are Islington's most diverse area. Tell us your ideas to make it better.

Enough is enough. Let's get the 28 @MoJGovUK owned three and four bedroom homes at Wellington Mews back into use for Islington families in desperate need.

I’m very deeply saddened that a man has lost his life after a stabbing in Islington today.

Police have launched a murder investigation, and we’re working together to support our community.

Please contact police or Crimestoppers if you can help

Private renters in London spend an average of 40% of their income on rent - compared to a national average of 26%.

The Government should give London the powers to introduce rent controls.

In this case, once again, we see the disproportionate impact fall on older and disabled people, who as residents of London boroughs, are entitled to a freedom pass, covering off-peak, and peak travel respectively" #SaveOurTicketOffices https://t.co/JViAr5bdNs

BREAKING 🚨 | The number of Black and ethnic minority workers in insecure work more than DOUBLED from 2011 to 2022 - our analysis has revealed.

This is structural racism in action.

Islington Labour Councillors believe this is a complete disgrace. There is an ongoing housing crisis, and the Ministry of Justice continues to sit on its hands rather than helping residents.

[Kaya Comer-Schwartz @KayaJunction]

Cleaner, greener, healthier streets make Islington a safer place to live, better for young people, and more equal.

So I’m incredibly proud that @HSscorecard has named us the best inner-London borough for green streets 3 years in a row.

With even more to come over the next year!

[Islington Labour 🌹 #OnYourSide @IslingtonLabour]

Once again, our Labour-run Council is top inner-London borough for healthy streets!

This is what happens when you have an administration that cares about residents and the planet. We are clear that our objective is to create a fairer, safer, greener borough for all 🌳

[Islington Council @IslingtonBC]

Islington has a desperate shortage of genuinely affordable family homes - but 28 former prison officers' flats owned by @MoJGovUK have stood empty for years

@diarmaid_w talks to @BBCLondonNews about why genuinely affordable homes are needed - and urges @MoJGovUK to get in touch
