Brilliant news. There are now nine @IslingtonBC 100% council home schemes across Islington. This is what a Labour Council working a Labour Mayor can do! Well done @drjohnwoolf @tomcopley and the whole team. #OnYourSide

We urgently need your support! We have stood on the frontline of London's homelessness crisis, feeding thousands and providing essential support every week for almost 13 years... The need is greater and our struggle is more desperate than ever before ⬇️ https://t.co/m5zIFb1UlR

Another big thank you to @drjohnwoolf for a hugely insightful talk on the progressive and ambitious work @IslingtonBC are doing in Housing. Strategy, new building, purchasing and management - a vital part of borough life explained so well! #islington #islingtonsouth #finsbury

We gathered at @IslingtonBC Town Hall yesterday to remember all those we've lost locally in the last year while experiencing homelessness. We shared memories, hugs, and comfort 💔 How many more will we lose? This can't go on. We're losing too many friends needlessly...

Autumn has well and truly begun, and my diary’s filling up with borough police ward panels, youth debates, workshops and forums. I’m keen to hear from residents on how we can make Islington safer together. Call it Angelo on Tour - listening, learning, and taking action. 🍂👂

Thanks for your support, @debs_wb. We are proud of our Borough of Sanctuary work here in @IslingtonBC which includes bringing members of new and existing communities together to foster community cohesion.
I met with @sheilachapman01 & @Angelo__Weekes at @IslingtonBC re: this appalling attack & protests. Their work to support asylum seekers & their efforts to help residents from all walks of life to feel welcomed and connected exemplifies what it means to be a borough of sanctuary

The placement of Islamophobic stickers in Finsbury Park are appalling. We’re working with police to investigate and hold those responsible to account. If you have any information, contact the police or @IslingtonBC community safety team. #NoPlaceForHate #OnYourSide🌹

Some great work by our Executive Member for Housing Councillor John Woolf @drjohnwoolf
I wrote to @IslingtonTrib about tackling housing fraud which has enabled us to reclaim 155 council homes. Recently, I increased the capacity of the team @IslingtonBC . This week we secured another conviction - and £23,000 in compensation. @IslingtonLabour @IslingtonNorth

[ between #housing scrutiny & hardworking council officers. #LeadershipMatters I'm so proud of all involved as it has not been an overnight win.

Accessible public toilets are vital for us all to enjoy London. We're working hard to improve our offer of free, accessible public toilets across @IslingtonBC and I'm encouraging our partners like @TfL to do the same. Here's my letter to them about provision at Farringdon.

Private renting leaves too many in shocking conditions, paying thousands to landlords each month. Labour is thankfully strengthening renters’ rights and fixing the broken system. Proud to speak in favour of our @IslingtonLabour motion at #IslingtonFC last week:
