  • in which the majority of Islington’s people live.

    Is that true?

    Yes there are plenty of estates, but does that actually make up the majority of residences?

    Also worth pointing out that many of those estates have had huge investment and pretty nice with excellent playgrounds, outdoor spaces, etc.

    Islington Council has done an amazing job despite a 70% - yes 70% - reduction in funding. There is still huge deprivation on those estates. They need money spent on them. There needs to be more social housing. The money simply is not there.

  • Famously, life expectancy varies by over ten years between adjacent streets in Islington. Also in Camden.

    EDIT: At least it did about ten years ago when I worked for those respective NHS trusts. Might have changed since.
