@IslingtonBC Such an amazing team, working day in and day out to tackle fuel poverty and help keep people warm. Great Energy Doctors service which assists residents with energy saving measures. Another example of how we benefit people and take climate action at the same time.

I sent a very important letter this week to the @IslingtonTrib - thank you to them for printing it.

If you are over 66 and struggling with the cost of living - then you can apply to @IslingtonBC household support fund to get a one-off £200 payment. https://t.co/FjP7FJImEp

Excellent visit to @IslingtonBC today on our Big Community Transport Tour.

I met with council leadership & community groups to hear about great work underway to transform how people walk & cycle in the borough.

Inspiring to see partnership driving real change for local people!

Accessible public toilets are vital for us all to enjoy London. We're working hard to improve our offer of free, accessible public toilets across @IslingtonBC and I'm encouraging our partners like @TfL to do the same. Here's my letter to them about provision at Farringdon.

Islington’s done it again! 🏆

We've been ranked the healthiest inner London borough for the fifth year in a row.

From safer school streets to greener neighbourhoods, we’re building a borough where everyone can walk, wheel and breathe easy. 🚶🏼 🚲 🌳

Cyclists - like everyone else - must follow the rules of the road, including stopping at red lights and zebra crossings.

There are 4,000 free water refill points and more than 100 water fountains across our city to help people stay hydrated. There are also cool spaces across the capital where you can take a break and cool down.

🚨🏘️Coming soon! @IslingtonBC has been leading the way in housing & domestic abuse prevention.

We will soon reveal the news — and trust us, the bar has been set very high.

From 8 July, we spotlight a national first—shaped by survivor voices, local leaders & frontline champions.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

The climate emergency is no longer a distant problem—it’s on our doorsteps.

While the likelihood of flooding remains low for most basement properties, I’m doing all I can to ensure that the people most at risk know what to do in the event of a flash flood.

[Islington Council @IslingtonBC]

In Islington, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to thrive.

That’s why, having worked with groups like @InIslington, we’ve responded to the Government’s Pathways to Work consultation on disability reform. (1/3)

[Dr John Woolf @drjohnwoolf]

So proud of the work @IslingtonBC to make housing safer for survivors of domestic abuse. A HUGE milestone will be announced soon - and it sets a new benchmark for boroughs across the country. Watch this space from 8th July #safehousingmatters #domesticabuseprevention #islington
