Islington council are one of the most horrendously run councils I’m aware of. It’s not even a single department the whole place is a joke. If it doesn’t make them money they’re totally incompetent. Planning are preposterously bad. If you want to build, just do it- don’t seek planning because they are entirely uninterested in upholding their own planning rules. Dog poop droppers? Drug dealers? Scammers? Gangs of kids smoking drugs in parks, antisocial noise, misuse of disabled parking permits, misuse of residential parking? All of it is fine from what I’ve seen of Islington council. They know that if they huff and puff people will eventually stop asking them to act. They’re experts at huffing and puffing and telling you why solving an issue will be difficult- neighbours abusing the 90 day air bnb rule “huff and puff- it’s hard to prove”. None residents faking their residential status so they can drive to work “huff and puff- I’ll send it in to someone else= no response”What they are good at- is wasting money on things which don’t improve lives in the borough. Wonky pathways which crack within months of being installed, useless climbing walls nobody asked for, refuse collection who leave the streets looking worse after collection than before? That’s Islington.
