Thanks to the council’s street cleaning services Islington has won two national prizes, the “Clean Britain” awards, for keeping the borough clean and tidy.
The clean team was awarded a four-star rating, and Islington was also given a special judges’ award for the Cleaner estates programme – which is improving cleanliness on the thirteen most deprived estates in the borough.
Greg Foxsmith, Islington’s Liberal Democrat councillor in charge of the local environment, said: “These prestigious awards confirm that Islington is on the right track and is getting better all the time.”
The Clean Britain awards aim to help put civic pride back into Britain.
