Ward partnerships
Islington’s 17 ward partnerships are led by ward councillors and give local residents, community groups and businesses the opportunity to shape services and improve their neighbourhoods.
Find out which ward you are in with your postcode - press the ward and councillors tab after choosing your address.
You can also check a map of Islington wards - fill in your postcode in the 'address search' at the top.
Email partnerships@islington.gov.uk, if you want:
- to register your interest, hear about future meetings or for more information
- information or support from British Sign Language services for a ward partnership meeting
- copies of ward partnership documents for meetings since 2022.
Community plans (used to be 'ward improvement plans') are developed by each ward partnership and share details about improvement projects.
