A Farringdon car park<br />
was transformed into a<br />
green oasis as part of<br />
<strong>Islington</strong>'s Car Free<br />
Day.<br />
<strong>Issue</strong> <strong>39</strong>, October 2006<br />
Commuters were surprised<br />
to see six foot tall reed<br />
grass ‘growing’ in the car<br />
park, alongside a ping pong<br />
area and giant tarot cards.<br />
Jinny Blom, designer to<br />
Prince Charles, came up<br />
with the idea of the grass.<br />
She explained: “Just underneath the tarmac we have the earth which people<br />
sometimes forget. I wanted people to think about what it would be like on<br />
the street if the buildings weren't so dominant or if there was a greater<br />
balance between nature and buildings.”<br />
Landscape designer Roger Allen and landscape architect Helena Rivera<br />
(pictured above) made themselves popular by offering hundreds of free<br />
rosemary plants to passers by, with strict instructions for their care. Helena<br />
said: “By giving away 552 herb plants to be taken home and planted we<br />
were able offset 552 kilos of carbon emissions, which equals 1,650 miles of<br />
petrol fuel. We want to help make people aware that by changing your habits<br />
even a little bit you can have a positive impact on the environment.”<br />
Car Free Day is an international event that aims to take cars off city streets to<br />
give people a chance to see how the place where they live and work could<br />
look with fewer vehicles on the road.<br />

Welcome<br />
Welcome to<br />
<strong>Issue</strong> <strong>39</strong><br />
of <strong>Islington</strong><br />
From Helen Bailey,<br />
Chief Executive<br />
Imagine <strong>Islington</strong> without any cars! It’s<br />
not easy, but Car Free Day earlier this<br />
month offered a taste of how the<br />
borough would be if there were fewer<br />
vehicles on the road. Not only would<br />
there be less pollution, but green<br />
travel options such as walking or<br />
cycling would lead to a healthier<br />
borough as well.<br />
We want everyone in the borough to<br />
be able to get around as easily as<br />
possible, and this month’s feature on<br />
accessibility highlights some of the<br />
services we are offering to mobility<br />
impaired and older residents. Our<br />
award-winning ScootAbility scheme is<br />
just one of the ways in which we are<br />
making the borough as accessible as<br />
possible to all who live here. Find out<br />
more on page 10.<br />
Contact <strong>Islington</strong> has won a national<br />
customer service award. The centre<br />
has been up and running for only<br />
three years now. Thousands of<br />
residents have received help and<br />
advice from the centre, and we<br />
guarantee we will continue to improve<br />
this service.<br />
Finally, Halloween and Guy Fawkes<br />
Night will soon be upon us. We want<br />
you to be safe at this time of year, so<br />
please take care and read our<br />
guidelines on page 8.<br />

Your Shout<br />
Below are some of your letters, emails and phone calls we<br />
received in response to the last issue.<br />
Counterfeit queries<br />
Regarding your article on counterfeit<br />
cigarettes, I visit the Nag’s Head several<br />
times a week and I have not seen any<br />
improvement. I see the same faces every time<br />
I’m there, with no police presence.<br />
Until we have tougher penalties for people<br />
openly flaunting the law, then I don’t believe we<br />
will come close to solving these problems.<br />
The number of illegal traders in the area<br />
has decreased over the last 18 months. In<br />
this time, 34 illegal cigarette sellers have<br />
been prosecuted along with 22 illegal<br />
DVD sellers. One cigarette seller received<br />
a full ASBO and is banned from the Nag’s<br />
Head for three years.<br />
It is also hoped that informing the public<br />
that cigarettes bought from illegal traders<br />
will be confiscated will act as a deterrent.<br />
Stopping the fly-tippers<br />
I am a resident of Marlborough Road and we<br />
have been experiencing problems with flytipping<br />
for a long time. Lately this problem<br />
has escalated to a serious degree, to the<br />
extent that we are now having rubbish<br />
dumped on our road on a daily basis.<br />
We have arranged for more checks to be<br />
made in this area, and for signs to be<br />
replaced to deter people from dumping<br />
waste.<br />
Our officers are able to fine/prosecute<br />
anyone who leaves waste out on the<br />
street, and our efforts will be to<br />

Dispersal zones<br />
In issue 38, you state you have worked with<br />
the police to combat antisocial behaviour in<br />
Tufnell Park. What you don’t mention is that<br />
the police put a lot of effort into preparing an<br />
application for the dispersal order to run<br />
over several months. But the council only<br />
supported it being run for one month,<br />
nowhere near long enough to solve the<br />
problems we are still suffering here.<br />
The Dispersal Order in Tufnell Park<br />
resulted in 18 people being moved on<br />
from the area and two arrests. The<br />
police have reported that the order was<br />
effective and feedback from the<br />
community was very positive. There is<br />
currently a review of the outcome and<br />
further interventions may be considered.<br />
Dispersal zones are potentially powerful<br />
tools to be used in a coordinated<br />
approach to tackling anti-social<br />
behaviour. It is important they are<br />
reviewed and that adequate support is<br />
available to those identified as being<br />
involved in ASB in a bid to get them<br />
involved in other, more meaningful,<br />
activities. Those that continue their ASB<br />
will be dealt with by other means,<br />
including Acceptable Behaviour<br />
Contracts (ABC) and Anti-social<br />
Behaviour Orders (ASBO).<br />

Energy<br />
anniversary<br />
The 10th annual Energy Saving Week<br />
will run from October 23-29 and is<br />
designed to help people commit to<br />
saving at least 20 percent on their<br />
energy consumption. Small changes<br />
can make an enormous difference<br />
both to the environment and your<br />
household bills. For example, you can<br />
try:<br />
1 having showers instead of baths<br />
1 using the washing machine only when it<br />
is full<br />
1 turning lights off when they are not<br />
needed.<br />
The <strong>Islington</strong> Energy Centre will be running<br />
a series of events to give advice to<br />
residents, and prizes will also be on offer.<br />

Recognition for<br />
school volunteers<br />
The valuable work of <strong>Islington</strong>’s<br />
Volunteers for Excellence (VfE), who<br />
offer learning support to primary school<br />
children, was recognised at a recent<br />
event attended by 40 volunteers and<br />
some of the pupils they have helped.<br />
The VfE project has been running for five years<br />
and encourages members of the community to<br />
volunteer for at least one hour a week, for a<br />
minimum of one term, in an <strong>Islington</strong> primary<br />
school. They can offer support in areas<br />
including reading, drama and art. While some<br />
volunteers are gaining experience for childcare<br />
courses, others are simply keen to work with<br />
youngsters in the community.<br />
At the event, volunteers received certificates in<br />
recognition of the support they give to pupils<br />
The new Gambling Act 2005 came into<br />
force on 1st September. The act contains<br />
three main objectives:<br />
1 keeping gambling crime free<br />
1 making sure gambling is fair and open<br />
1 protecting children and vulnerable adults<br />
<strong>Islington</strong> <strong>Council</strong> will have responsibility for issuing<br />
licences and permits to allow premises such as<br />
betting shops, bingo halls, amusements arcades<br />
and pubs with fruit machines to be used for<br />
gambling. The new act requires the council to<br />
publish a gambling policy that will set out how the<br />
<strong>Islington</strong> residents are encouraged to<br />
be bird-friendly this month in support of<br />
bird week, which runs from 22-30<br />
October. The following events are taking<br />

Award for<br />
i-recycle centre<br />
The council’s i-recycle centre has won<br />
the Best Educational Project award for<br />
the most innovative recycling and<br />
waste minimisation programmes at<br />
the Valpak Awards.<br />
Big WoW for<br />
young walkers<br />
Year 5 and 6 pupils from Drayton Park<br />
Primary School joined over 30 other<br />
London schools to take part in the Big<br />
WoW, a one-day event promoting<br />
Walking on Wednesday that aims to<br />
encourage children to do more walking.<br />
Pupils completed walking diaries, took photos<br />
of their journey to school, used step counters<br />
and celebrated walking by unveiling a special<br />
tree. They were awarded with goodie bags and<br />
certificates in recognition of their efforts.<br />
Based at <strong>Islington</strong>’s new Household Recycling<br />
Centre, i-recycle offers interactive displays,<br />
games and videos to help youngsters and<br />
adults learn about recycling and waste issues.<br />
The centre is made entirely of recycled and<br />
sustainable material, making it the first of its<br />
kind in the country.<br />
Half of <strong>Islington</strong>’s primary schools have<br />
already visited the centre, which offers free<br />
school workshops and sessions for<br />
community groups. Nearly 50 local teachers<br />
have also attended training events at the<br />
centre.<br />
Gillespie Park Festival 2006<br />
Hundreds of local residents attended<br />
the 20th Gillespie Park Festival,<br />
which had something for everyone.<br />
Stalls sold everything from organic<br />
produce to fair-trade goods, and<br />
activities included Morris dancing<br />
courtesy of the London Pride Morris<br />
Men. Local comedians John Hegley<br />
and Rob Newman also performed on<br />
the day.<br />

Your money, your say<br />
<strong>Islington</strong> <strong>Council</strong>’s Budget Consultation 2007-08<br />
Every year we spend over £200 million on services to help<br />
<strong>Islington</strong> run smoothly. We want you to help us decide how<br />
best to spend this money. In the middle of this magazine you<br />
will find a questionnaire that asks you some questions about<br />
what your priorities are.<br />
LISTENING TO<br />
Your views on how we<br />
spend your money<br />
Budget Consultation 2007-08<br />
Every year, we spend over £200 million on services for<br />
you that help <strong>Islington</strong> run smoothly. We want you to help<br />
us decide how best to spend this money. So please tell<br />
us what you think – after all it’s your borough.<br />
The public consultation on the 2007-08<br />
budget begins in October and runs<br />
until 17 November 2006. Take some<br />
time to fill it out and post it back to us<br />
– your views will help us shape the<br />
council’s budget for the next year.<br />
Why get involved?<br />
In 2004 we asked for your views, and your<br />
top three priorities were cleaner streets, more<br />
education and learning opportunities, and<br />
better recycling facilities. So the council…<br />
1 put in an extra £2.1m to improve waste<br />
management services and provide<br />
increasingly people friendly streets<br />
1 invested £7m to further raise achievement<br />
in <strong>Islington</strong> schools<br />
1 spent £0.7m on extending recycling<br />
initiatives across the borough.<br />
This year, the council is aiming to get the<br />
widest possible range of opinions from<br />
Feedback<br />
We are committed to letting you<br />
know how your views helped us<br />
make decisions. We will publish the<br />
results of this consultation next<br />
year in this magazine and on the<br />
council’s website<br />
www.islington.gov.uk.<br />
residents, businesses and stakeholders.<br />
Throughout the consultation there will be a<br />
number of ways you can make your voice<br />
heard. Questionnaires will be available as both<br />
hard copies and online at<br />
www.islington.gov.uk. An independent market<br />
research company will be conducting phone<br />
interviews and organising focus groups.<br />
Pleasing everyone is difficult, especially with a<br />
community as diverse as ours. By taking part<br />
in the consultation you will not only be helping<br />
us to resolve some of the very real dilemmas<br />
which face every council but you will be<br />
highlighting what services you value above<br />
others.<br />
So how do we set our budgets?<br />
Our budget is made up of:<br />
1 money from central government<br />
1 money we raise locally from council tax and<br />
1 other income such as fees and charges<br />
Currently our net budget is made up of about<br />
75 per cent government funding and 25 per<br />
cent council tax and other income. But we<br />
can’t do just anything with the part that<br />
comes from government – there are many<br />
conditions about what we can spend it on.<br />
Demand for our services is increasing<br />
because of the way society is changing. For<br />
instance, there are more elderly people and<br />
more people with disabilities for whom council<br />
services are a lifeline.<br />
Your money, working for you<br />
Do you think more should be spent on the<br />
environment and less on children’s services?<br />
Are you keen for more spending on caring for<br />
the elderly and vulnerable even if it means less<br />
on crime and safety?<br />
The dilemmas are real and as a council that<br />
listens to what our customers say, we need<br />
your help to resolve them.<br />
Your chance to win…<br />
Every completed questionnaire will<br />
go in to a prize draw to win £250 of<br />
gift vouchers of your choice. Filling<br />
in the questionnaire only takes a<br />
few minutes of your time, and it can<br />
also be completed online at<br />
www.islington.gov.uk.<br />
More money for<br />
cleaner streets?<br />
More money for<br />
children?<br />
More money for<br />
safety?<br />
More money for older people?<br />
More money for parks?<br />

Shopper’s paradise<br />
SHOP<br />
LOCAL<br />
Fashionable Fonthill<br />
Fonthill Road in Finsbury<br />
Park is the perfect shopping<br />
destination for fashionable<br />
bargain-hunters that head<br />
here for the latest looks at<br />
rock-bottom prices.<br />
Running off Seven Sisters Road, right by<br />
Finsbury Park Tube, this bargain-hunter’s<br />
paradise is easily accessible for those living in<br />
the area and further afield. In fact, shoppers<br />
come here from all over, looking to pick up the<br />
latest fashions without the crowds of central<br />
London.<br />
And if you like shopping for bargains, this is the<br />
place for you. With a great range of clothing to<br />
suit every taste – and budget – this is an ideal<br />
destination for those wanting the latest looks at<br />
reasonable prices.<br />
And there’s plenty of places to stop for a drink<br />
and a snack after a hard day’s shopping.<br />
How to get there<br />
Fonthill Road is off Seven<br />
Sisters Road, next to Finsbury<br />
Park station.<br />
The people that shop in this area are<br />
full of praise for their local retailers.<br />
Miriam<br />
Gudushaura lives<br />
locally and loves<br />
the range of<br />
items available<br />
here, as well as<br />
the low prices. “I<br />
really like this<br />
part of Finsbury<br />
Park as there’s lots of beautiful and<br />
fashionable shops, which aren’t too<br />
expensive,” she says. “This is really<br />
important since I’ve got three young<br />
Business is booming<br />
The growing<br />
popularity of<br />
the area with<br />
savvy<br />
shoppers is<br />
good news for<br />
local traders.<br />
Chris has run<br />
Café 67 for<br />
three years<br />
and he enjoys<br />
working here.<br />
“Fonthill Road<br />
is a truly multicultural area, so there’s<br />
always a diverse range of people<br />
shopping here and stopping by for<br />
coffee or a snack.”<br />
Andrew Panayi owns Aubergine Café,<br />
serving up a range of drinks and snacks<br />
to tired shoppers. “We serve a range of<br />
smoothies, coffees and ice creams.<br />
Jamaican patties are also really popular.<br />
“My wife shops in Fonthill Road, not only<br />
for herself but also our children. There<br />
daughters, so I shop here for them. The<br />
fashion shops are the best. I always come<br />
here by foot since it’s so local to me.”<br />
Erica Tomasekova comes to the area a few<br />
times a year, and she also likes the<br />
bargains. “You can<br />
get the same stuff<br />
as you can in the<br />
city but at much<br />
better prices. I go<br />
to all the shops. I<br />
normally take the<br />
bus to get here as<br />
it’s really<br />
convenient.”<br />
are loads of<br />
bargains to<br />
be had,<br />
especially on<br />
Saturday<br />
which is the<br />
busiest<br />
shopping day. The best way to get here<br />
is by public transport but there’s also a<br />
car park behind the road.”<br />
Jiyan Arpachis of Diva Fashions also<br />
likes working in the area. He says: “If<br />
you want a bargain then Fonthill Road<br />
has to be the<br />
place to<br />
come to. The<br />
look and feel<br />
of the road<br />
has<br />
dramatically<br />
and positively<br />
changed over<br />
the years but<br />
the prices<br />
haven’t.”<br />

Road safety skills: 500 <strong>Islington</strong> children have now walked safely through Kerbcraft, an education<br />
programme that gives Year 1 children a solid foundation on which further road safety skills can be built<br />
Make every day count<br />
Regular attendance at school plays a key part in your<br />
child’s future. Your child’s school years are precious so<br />
help them make the most of them.<br />
Each day at school can make a difference and,<br />
in recognition of this, this school year is the<br />
Year of Attendance in <strong>Islington</strong>’s Primary<br />
Schools. Your child should enjoy and achieve<br />
during their time at school, and parents have an<br />
important part to play in ensuring their children<br />
attend classes regularly.<br />
Parenting<br />
advice<br />
Raising a family can be a<br />
challenging task, and it is hard to<br />
know where to turn if you need<br />
advice. To help parents, <strong>Islington</strong><br />
<strong>Council</strong> has launched the Just Ask<br />
campaign to encourage people to<br />
seek advice freely, and without<br />
prejudice, on how to deal with any<br />
problems that arise.<br />
For more information, or to<br />
receive a leaflet, contact<br />
Parentline free on 0808 800<br />
2222, or textphone 0800 783<br />

www.parentlineplus.org.uk or email<br />
parentsupport@parentlineplus.org.uk.<br />
Please don't take children out of school<br />
unnecessarily. It disrupts their education and<br />
can harm their school work.<br />
Playing truant<br />
Schools are designed to provide a safe<br />
environment, and while very few <strong>Islington</strong><br />
children play truant from school, those that<br />
do are putting themselves at risk. Make<br />
sure your child stays safe by stressing to<br />
them the importance of being in school.<br />
If your child is having problems in school, try to find<br />
out why and address any issues. If there is a<br />
problem, start by talking to school staff. If you have<br />
done this or would prefer to talk to someone not<br />
directly involved with the school, call the Education<br />
Welfare Service 020 7527 5833 for advice.<br />
Paying the price<br />
Parents who consistently fail to ensure their child<br />
attends school are not only putting their child at a<br />
disadvantage, they are also breaking the law.<br />
<strong>Islington</strong> is one of the first boroughs to impose<br />
fixed penalty fines on parents of persistent<br />
truants. In other boroughs, parents have faced a<br />
spell in jail for refusing to send their child to<br />
school. These extreme cases involve only a<br />
handful of parents, but they demonstrate how<br />
important it is for you to work with the school if<br />

Schools go<br />
green!<br />
An educational programme to raise<br />
awareness amongst <strong>Islington</strong><br />
school pupils and their families is<br />
taking place in schools across the<br />
borough.<br />
<strong>Islington</strong>’s Schools Environmental<br />
Project works with 15 primary<br />
schools to teach children, their<br />
families and teachers about how<br />
their behaviour and lifestyles<br />
affect the environment through a<br />
series of activities such as<br />
rubbish-free lunch challenges, anti<br />
litter initiatives, junk jam sessions<br />
and interactive workshops.<br />
The project has also been chosen<br />
as a Green Apple Award winner,<br />
which means information<br />
regarding the project will be<br />
published in the Green Apple book<br />
for environmental professionals<br />
around the world.<br />

Keeping<br />
safe on<br />
fireworks<br />
night<br />
This autumn, <strong>Islington</strong> <strong>Council</strong> will again be<br />
working in partnership with the police and<br />
fire service to help reduce the troublesome<br />
and disruptive behaviour caused by the<br />
misuse of fireworks.<br />
Guidelines for<br />
the misuse of<br />
fireworks<br />
c no person under 18 years of age is<br />
allowed to possess fireworks in a<br />
public place.<br />
c no person shall be allowed to<br />
possess a large Category 4 firework<br />
(professional display fireworks and<br />
clearly marked as such).<br />
c shops are not allowed to sell<br />
fireworks that make a noise greater<br />
than 120 decibels.<br />
c shops must also display signs about<br />
sales not being allowed to under<br />
18s.<br />
c on 5 November fireworks must not<br />
be let off after midnight at all other<br />
times of the year the curfew is 11pm<br />
except for 21 October 2006 (Diwali),<br />
31 December 2006 and 18 February<br />
2007 (the first day of Chinese New<br />
Year) when this is extended to<br />
1.00am the following morning.<br />
Illegal sales<br />
hotline<br />
Trading Standards Officers will be<br />
out and about during the firework<br />
period with child volunteers<br />
checking to make sure that shops<br />
are not breaking the law. Shop<br />
owners will face prosecution if the<br />
law is broken.<br />
If you think a shop near you is selling to<br />
those underage or you are worried about<br />
the way fireworks are being sold, call<br />
Trading Standards on 020 7527 4028.<br />
Follow the code<br />
c only buy fireworks marked (British<br />
Standards) BS 7114.<br />

c keep fireworks in a closed box.<br />
c follow the instructions on each firework.<br />
c light at arm’s length, using a taper.<br />
stand well back.<br />

In the past three years, complaints to the police and fire service about<br />
firework problems have reduced, thanks in part to the scheme.<br />
This year’s campaign will build on the work carried out over previous<br />
years, and residents can help by reporting issues to the council and<br />
police so we can ensure appropriate action is taken.<br />
Bang out<br />
of order<br />
Safer Neighbourhood Teams work<br />
in partnership with the council to<br />
help prevent anti-social behaviour<br />

<strong>Islington</strong>’s parks, shops, streets and<br />
gardens were a riot of colour in<br />
anticipation of this year’s London in<br />
Bloom awards.<br />
Green-fingered residents and businesses alike<br />
displayed their gardening talents to make the<br />
borough a brighter, better, greener place to live<br />
and work.<br />
And their efforts were not in vain as the<br />
borough received a prestigious Silver Gilt<br />
award from the judges. <strong>Islington</strong> was also the<br />
only London Borough to be awarded the Royal<br />
Horticultural Society’s Britain in Bloom<br />
Discretionary Award for Biodiversity, which<br />
recognises efforts to provide and maintain<br />
opportunities for all forms of wildlife to thrive.<br />
The London in Bloom judges were particularly<br />
impressed with our wildflower meadows, the<br />
floral displays at Nag’s Head and the level of<br />
community involvement throughout the borough.<br />
To get involved next year, please<br />

Getting around<br />
With so much to see and do in <strong>Islington</strong>, we believe it is of<br />
great importance for all residents to be able to get around<br />
the borough with ease.<br />
Ease of access can be challenging for older people or those<br />
with impaired mobility, as well as parents with small children<br />
and buggies. And in such a busy borough, the council wants<br />
to make sure that everyone can get around.<br />
10<br />
Access check<br />
People in <strong>Islington</strong> with mobility<br />
problems will find it easier to check<br />
disabled access to shops, restaurants,<br />
hotels and attractions throughout the<br />
borough via the site<br />
www.DisabledGo.info. The website has<br />
been sponsored by <strong>Islington</strong> <strong>Council</strong><br />
and Marks & Spencer, and was founded<br />
by wheelchair user Gregory Burke, who<br />
became frustrated never knowing<br />
which public venues would be<br />
accessible.<br />
He said “Never knowing whether a building<br />
will be accessible or whether staff will have a<br />
helpful attitude makes you think twice before<br />
going out. As a result people can miss out<br />
Empowering residents<br />
Mobility impaired residents can loan<br />
mobility scooters and powered<br />
wheelchairs from the council on a shortterm<br />
basis via the ScootAbility Mobility<br />
Scooter Loan Scheme.<br />
The scooters and powerchairs are available to<br />
borrow for between one and four days at a<br />
time, and are delivered to and picked up from<br />
on doing things they want to do and<br />
businesses lose valuable custom.<br />
“DisabledGo addresses this problem by<br />
providing detailed access information which<br />
will enable people to judge for themselves<br />
whether a shop, restaurant or theatre is<br />
accessible for them.”<br />
Simply by logging on to DisabledGo people<br />
can check whether a pub offers access for<br />
a wheelchair user, whether a cinema has a<br />
hearing loop, a hotel can offer adapted<br />
rooms, or a restaurant has menus available<br />
in large print or Braille.<br />
Log on at www.DisabledGo.info.<br />
members’ homes. Membership is only £5 a<br />
year, and this covers insurance and<br />
breakdowns. Members also receive training to<br />
ensure they are comfortable and confident with<br />
the vehicle.<br />
And the scheme recently won the most<br />
innovative public sector transport award at the<br />
National Transport Awards. ScootAbility<br />
scooped the coveted prize amidst stiff<br />
competition, such as Transport for London’s<br />
pre-pay Oyster Card.<br />
There are now over 100 members of<br />
ScootAbility, which currently services older<br />
adults aged 55 and over. The scheme is being<br />
extended to younger mobility impaired residents<br />
aged 16 and over in the coming months.<br />

Raising<br />
accessibility<br />
issues<br />
The <strong>Islington</strong> Mobility Forum (IMF)<br />
has been set up to enable local<br />
people with mobility problems to<br />
have their say on accessibility. The<br />
forum focuses on issues such as<br />
buses, traffic calming, disabled<br />
parking and the planning of new<br />
developments, projects and<br />
services.<br />
Members are encouraged to raise their<br />
own personal access and mobility issues<br />
with a panel of officers at the<br />
Accessibility Surgery. This gives officers a<br />
greater understanding of accessibility<br />
needs.<br />
The next meeting will take place on the<br />
27th November at the National <strong>Council</strong><br />
for Voluntary Organisations based at<br />
Regent’s Wharf, 8 All Saints Street, N1<br />
9RL. Assistance with transport to and<br />
from the venue is available on request, as<br />
is BSL interpretation and information in<br />
large print.<br />

Keep it safe<br />
We have introduced the Blue Badge<br />
Protector to help you look after your<br />
blue badge. This is a lockable metal<br />
sleeve that can be attached to the<br />
steering wheel by a flexible cable so a<br />
would-be thief cannot remove it. The<br />
sleeve also acts as a visual deterrent<br />
to thieves and can save the distress of<br />
having your vehicle broken in to.<br />
The protector, which holds both the badge<br />
and the time of arrival disc, can be purchased<br />
from the council at a cost of £15.99 including<br />
postage and packing. Payments can be made<br />
Badge theft<br />
If your blue badge is stolen,<br />
contact Parking Services on 020<br />
7527 6108 immediately and they<br />
will issue a new one. We will also<br />
make a note of the missing badge<br />
and look out for it being used<br />
illegally.<br />
If you live in a Controlled Parking Zone<br />
(CPZ) you can also get a substitute for<br />
your blue badge. This is a permit that<br />
can be displayed when you are parked<br />
in your CPZ and means you don’t need<br />
to leave your badge in your car all the<br />
time.<br />
To apply for a blue badge, or if<br />
you have any other enquiry,<br />
please ring 020 7527 6108.<br />
More information on disabled parking<br />
bays and application forms are available<br />
by calling 020 7527 6182.<br />

badge fraud, contact our fraud team<br />

Tackling fraud<br />
Some drivers in <strong>Islington</strong> are using a blue badge they are not<br />
rightly entitled to. The badges are a valuable commodity to<br />
criminals who steal them from vehicles and sell them on.<br />
Over 6,000 were stolen from parked cars in the UK during<br />
2004. Anyone using a stolen badge like this is committing<br />
fraud. It is also illegal to alter an existing badge in any way.<br />
by cheque payable to ‘LB <strong>Islington</strong> Parking<br />
Finance’ and sent to PO Box 46106, London<br />
EC1B 1BR or email contact@islington.gov.uk.<br />
For more information phone<br />
020 7527 2000.<br />
Gunning for<br />
fraudsters<br />
Blue badges<br />
The blue badge is a scheme that<br />
provides parking concessions for<br />
people with severe walking<br />
difficulties who travel either as<br />
drivers or passengers. The badge<br />
allows users to park in disabled<br />
bays and on some yellow lines,<br />
and is valid across the European<br />
Union.<br />
Blue badges are issued to the person<br />
who has the disability so the badge<br />
can be used in any vehicle regardless<br />
of whether the disabled person is the<br />
driver or passenger. The badges are<br />
not specific to a certain vehicle so it<br />
can be transferred from car to car.<br />
In order to qualify for a blue badge, an<br />
applicant needs to complete a form<br />
and provide evidence of their<br />
disability. In some cases this will<br />
involve a trip to an occupation health<br />
specialist.<br />
The council may also be able to<br />
provide a designated parking bay for a<br />
disabled person close to their home.<br />
Again the applicant needs to meet<br />
specific criteria and it is also<br />
dependent on space being available.<br />
Arsenal’s new Emirates Stadium has over 100 dedicated<br />
disabled parking spaces under the stadium for the exclusive<br />
use of mobility-impaired supporters. To ensure this facility is<br />
not abused, we now have a dedicated parking fraud team<br />
patrolling the area to combat the misuse of blue badges. We<br />
are also working with other councils to check the blue badges of visiting fans.<br />
To reserve your disabled parking space, please contact disability liaison officers Alun Francis<br />
or Caroline Lemmon at: Arsenal FC, Highbury House, 5 Drayton Park, London, N5 1BU, or<br />
Email: disability@arsenal.co.uk<br />
Our parking attendants are always on the lookout for illegal badges. If<br />
they spot one they will request the vehicle be clamped or removed.<br />
Additionally, the council has a designated team that prosecutes blue<br />
badge fraudsters.<br />
During the last 18 months, the council has confiscated over 500 illegally<br />
held or fraudulent badges and have taken over twenty cases to court.<br />
Successful prosecutions have resulted in fines of up to £2,540. In some<br />
cases, magistrates have even considered a custodial sentence or<br />
community service.<br />

Listen Up!<br />
Hi! My name is Jordan Daley and I’m a member of the<br />
Listen Up project.<br />
Members met up at the Town Hall recently to have a look at the<br />
first applications for a portion of the Youth Opportunities Fund<br />
(YOF). This fund is money that anyone between the ages of 13<br />
and 19 with a project idea can apply for. A panel of young people<br />
get to decide which projects get funded.<br />
Several applications came through, and we discussed them all.<br />
We looked at whether the person applying wanted to do<br />
something new, or whether it was something that they could<br />
already do in the borough. Was it a project that lots of people<br />
could get involved in? Did we think it was worth investing in?<br />
Some of the project ideas that have been taken through to the<br />
next stage include a moped repair project, a basketball<br />
tournament for police and young people and an application to set<br />
up a record label.<br />
Unfortunately we couldn’t put everybody’s application through to<br />
the next round of the grant making but, remember, you can apply<br />
as many times as you like until you get it right.<br />
Listen Up has money for projects that young people can run<br />
themselves. This means that young people come up with<br />
their own ideas for projects, apply for funding and then<br />
manage the project themselves, with help from an adult.<br />
We are now looking for people aged 13 to 19 to be part of a<br />
group who make decisions about how this money is given<br />
out. You can be from any part of the borough, any<br />
background, be at school, college or work.<br />
Would you like to…<br />
• get accredited training to be part of this group?<br />
• have your say in how money is spent in the borough?<br />
• get new skills?<br />
• be given more responsibility?<br />
• help improve your area?<br />
• meet other young people from across <strong>Islington</strong>?<br />
• help make sure that this funding is given<br />
out to the people who need it most?<br />
If you’d like to be part of the panel, or if<br />
you’d like to apply for money for your own project, get<br />
in touch!<br />
Call Dan or Anna on: 020 7833 1388<br />
