Islington Community Independents are committed to listening to the needs of our community and ensuring local voices are included in all our decision-making. If you are a resident of Islington, please share your views with us below.
We are local residents standing together as Islington Community Independents.
We believe our borough works best when decisions are made by communities, not imposed on them.
When public money is spent for the public good and when power is shared.
We are not beholden to any national organisation and will serve only in the interest of the people of Islington. Our loyalty is to the people who live here.
People over profit
Public good over private gain
Community power over top-down control
HOUSING PEOPLE CAN AFFORD
Secure, decent homes. Strong council housing. Holding housing associations and landlords to account. Representing the voices of residents in the council.
EDUCATION THAT WORKS FOR EVERY CHILD
Stand with children and young people, parents and carers, especially those with SEND needs. Inclusive schools. Ensuring SEND education academies are accountable to the Local Authority.
Every child matters.
A PUBLIC NHS WE CAN RELY ON
Defending the Whittington. Protecting local GP services. Healthcare based on need.
YOUTH SERVICES AND SAFE PUBLIC SPACES
Real investment in youth provision, mental health and addiction support, focusing on prevention, not punishment.
CARE AND SUPPORT WHEN WE NEED IT
Accessible social care, disability support, and services that treat people with dignity.
FREE SCHOOL MEALS
Expanding free school meals is an investment in our children’s future.
Community first. Always.
As your councillors, we will:
• Speak up for and involve residents in decisions that affect their lives
• Challenge cuts, privatisation, and poor decisions
• Be open, honest, and accountable
• Put people before politics, every time
A fairer Islington is built from the ground up.
We will fight for:
• Open meetings and real consultation with residents
• Transparent public spending; investment in housing, health, education, and decent local jobs
• Protection and improvement of local services and community spaces
• Safer and cleaner streets, in collaboration with residents
• Islington residents to be able to freely travel through LTN’s
Democracy does not end at the ballot box. We will defend the right to organise, to protest, and to speak out against injustice locally, nationally and globally.
Together, we can build a borough where every voice is heard and every resident matters.
