IslintonNow magazine is now on line


Always on the ball when it comes to modern technological innovations, Islington Council have now started to publish an online version of the residents monthly magazine - IslingtonNow May 2009. It says About IslingtonNow

Our residents' magazine, IslingtonNow, is delivered to your door every month. It keeps you up to date with what’s going on in the borough. If you don't get a copy through your door, you can pop into Islington Town Hall, Contact Islington at 222 Upper Street, or one of Islington's libraries. You can also download the latest issue at the bottom of this page...
Not sure I'd want to bother downloading a copy but I would like to know what happened to deliveries this side of the borough. Haven't received one for the past two months - thought it was because of all the cost saving measures after reading some moans about the production and distribution costs. Have already sent my own email moan asking what happened before noticing the online version - Out of all the bumph that the council send out it's the only literature I actually find useful.

Homes for Islington have posted their latest press releases. Seems they are keen to inform residents they are taking anitisocial behaviour and harrasment seriously with another Injunction for antisocial behaviour

Homes for Islington has obtained a 12 month injunction against Michael Wheatley, of Partridge Court EC1 for antisocial behaviour. Under the terms of the injunction Mr Wheatley is banned from:
  • Playing loud music that can be heard outside the property
  • Banging at a volume that can be heard outside the property
  • Shouting at a volume that can be heard outside the property
Failure to follow this injunction could see Mr Wheatley taken back to court and prosecuted.

Factual statement from Doug Goldring, HFI’s Director of Operations: “Noise nuisance can be very disrupting to the lives of residents and over a period of time very distressing. All residents deserve to live free from this kind of stress and disruption".

Couldn't have worded it better myself - specially the point "Shouting at a volume that can be heard outside the property". Pleased to read it is an issue that can now be reported and is taken seriously. Some people don't care a hoot about people living around them and shouting out of windows at the top of their voice they think is acceptable behaviour.

    do you have a problem in your own area with people shouting out of widows suz?If so has it been going on for a long time or is it a more recent problem?If it has been going on for quite a while have you done anything about it?I only ask because you have highlighted it as a particular problem and I wondered if maybe new people who aren't fully aware of the rules had moved into the area,perhaps you should explain what is expected of them face to face rather than through the computer after all it is good to talk .
