Our winter magazine is out now!

Our winter residents' magazine is being delivered to homes across Islington. Look out for your copy coming through your letterbox, or pick up a copy from libraries, council buildings and community centres. If you want a sneak peak take a look at the online version.

Inside your printed version you can get your free Christmas parking vouchers and see full festive listings. Plus read about how the council's house-building programme has provided new homes for a group of local residents just in time for Christmas.

Happy Christmas!
