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.

Treading the Boards

Treading the Boards is a two-year project that aims to improve access and engagement to the arts amongst Islington residents

The Treading the Boards initiative forms part of our Arts on Estates programme that engages residents in a range of high quality creative arts projects. The aim of the initiative is to enhance wellbeing, boost self-confidence and strengthen communities.

Between March 2019 and March 2021 the council will partner with arts organisations to deliver a variety of short and long-term community projects within our estate based and Hub community centres and partner venues (Arsenal Hub, Park Theatre).

This innovative partnership will transform and enhance the range of creative opportunities available to residents who find it difficult to access mainstream art classes and workshops.

Activities are open to all Islington residents, however, our key focus is engaging the boroughs elderly, young people, families and vulnerable communities.

We will publise activities as widely as possible, using our social media channels (@IslingtonLife on Twitter, Islington Life on Facebook and Islington Life magazine), estate notice boards, posters and local advertising.
