Thriving Neighbourhoods project examples

Our Thriving Neighbourhoods investment programme is transforming shared spaces on estates across Islington. Read on for some specific examples.

Holly Park Estate play areas

We have completely rebuilt two play areas on the Holly Park Estate to give children plenty of space to play. Improvements like this are helping to give young families everything they need to thrive in Islington.

Communal gardens on Camden Estate

We have installed new raised wooden planters in the community garden on the Camden Estate so that residents can experience the benefits of being able to grow plants on their doorstep.

Hornsey Lane Community Centre

The community centre on the Hornsey Lane Estate has been renovated with new glass sliding doors and windows, an improved entrance with a new gate and pram shelter, and the surface for the playground outside has been replaced to keep children safe during the nursery's activities.

Bike hangars

Several estates, including Avenell Mansions, have had new bike hangars installed to help residents make greener, cleaner transport choices - feeling confident that they have somewhere safe to store their bikes.
