Our priorities

We have set ourselves five missions to create a more equal future for Islington by 2030.

Achieving our shared ambition for a more equal future is not just about what we do, but how we do it. We can only bring about the change we all care so deeply about through a collective endeavour with local businesses, other public services, residents and community organisations.

It is only by working together that we can create a more equal future in Islington. For each of these missions, we will keep challenging ourselves to do better with and for our residents.

In tackling inequality, we will focus on:

  • Poverty and affordability - Making sure everyone has the financial means to access what they need for a good life.
  • Quality of life - Making sure everyone has the resources to live, learn, work and spend time in nurturing. environments.
  • Power and influence - Making sure everyone has a real say over decisions that affect them and their communities.

  • Child-friendly Islington

    By 2030, Islington will be a place where all children and young people are rooted in a community where they feel safe, can thrive and are able to be part of and lead change

  • Fairer Together

    Fairer Together is our approach to working with the community to tackle inequality through high quality early intervention and prevention

  • A safe place to call home

    We are determined that by 2030, everyone in Islington has a safe, decent and genuinely affordable place to call home

  • Community Wealth Building

    Community Wealth Building is a way of tackling economic inequality and creating an economy that works for everyone

  • Greener, healthier Islington

    By 2030, we want our communities in Islington to live healthy and independent lives and enjoy London’s greenest, cleanest and healthiest neighbourhoods
