The Cally Liveable Neighbourhood
Find out more about The Cally Liveable Neighbourhood and how you can have your say on our consultation.
As part of our efforts to create a cleaner, greener, and healthier borough, we are proposing to create a liveable neighbourhood in The Cally.
Liveable neighbourhoods include changes to bring communities together, improve air quality, and make the area greener, healthier and easier to walk around, cycle, scoot, and use buggies and wheelchairs in.
Timeline
| Date | Phase | Description |
|---|---|---|
| November 2022 to April 2023 | 1 - Early engagement |
We collected feedback from local people at in-person events and by email to find out issues and gather ideas on what can be done to improve the area. |
| 30 June to 6 August 2023 | 2 - Co-design | We gathered views from local people about the area and our first proposals at online and in-person events, and with a survey. |
| 19 February to 17 March 2024 | 3 - Public consultation | Formal public consultation on final draft proposals. |
Take part in our consultation from 19 February to 17 March 2024
Based on your feedback from the first two phases of the project, we have opened a formal consultation on our proposed designs for The Cally Liveable Neighbourhood.
Visit our engagement page
You can give your comments online, by email or at in-person events before 17 March 2024 when the public consultation ends. Visit our engagement page to find out more and take part.
When the consultation has ended, we will use your feedback to make any changes to the final designs. We will then decide which improvements we'll include as part of The Cally Liveable Neighbourhood.
If we make a decision to go ahead, we expect to start the project later in 2024.
Attend a public meeting
You can also attend a public meeting online or in person. We are holding public meetings so that local people can come and tell us about their views. Our engagement page has all the latest events information.
You can email our project team with your views and comments: TheCallyLN@islington.gov.uk.
About The Cally Liveable Neighbourhood
The Cally Liveable Neighbourhood is the area between Market Road, Caledonian Road, Pentonville Road, and York Way.
Local people have already told us that they want:
- pavement improvements with more space created for people walking, wheeling and with buggies and mobility aids
- more pleasant, green public spaces and places to stop and rest
- safer streets with slower traffic and fewer vehicles
- the area to be easier to cycle in.
Our proposals have been guided by and will build upon the 'We Are Cally' Community Plan, which sets out how we’ll engage with the community to make the area a better place for all.
- A strong community with a sense of belonging.
- Better opportunities for children, young people and families.
- Attractive, well-used public spaces.
- Improved health and wellbeing.
- A thriving, connected local economy that works for everyone.
