Easter service changes

During the Easter period, some of our services will be operating slightly different hours. Our council’s bin collection schedule will change for one week starting on Friday 29 March to make sure everyone’s waste is picked up around the bank holiday.

See the full schedule and your amended rubbish and recycling collection dates and other service changes including parking and library opening times over the Easter period.

After you apply

What you need to do

After submitting your application you must:

  • advertise your application on the premises for 28 days, starting from the day after you submit your application (see ‘Useful documents below) 
  • publish the public notice in a local newspaper within 10 working days of making the application
  • complete and return the notice of advertising (see ‘Useful documents’ below) to us by emailing it to licensing@islington.gov.uk.  

What we do

We will automatically grant a provisional statement if no representations are received within the first 28 days.  

In cases where representations are made, the application will be decided by the council’s Licensing Sub Committee at a public hearing. The hearing will normally take place within four weeks after the initial 28 day representation period.

All concerned parties will be invited to attend the hearing and they will be given the opportunity to discuss their application or representation and ask questions of other parties present.

The right to appeal

Both applicants and person(s) making representation have a right to appeal against our decision on an application. Appeals must be made to the magistrates’ court within 21 days of receiving written notification of the decision.
