Let's Talk resident feedback

As well as talking about inequality and the aims of residents for the borough, people of all ages and backgrounds agreed on other strong themes like different perceptions of inequality, large differences in income and wealth affecting opportunities, services and treatment of others, housing, safety, and the environment.

Residents also raised a wide range of other issues affecting their lives including pride in Islington’s inclusiveness and diversity, concerns about affordability, health and wellbeing, employment, and education. You wanted more say in what the council does as well as more action from the council and more responsive services. People of all ages offered ideas on how to tackle inequality and improve the borough.
