• ISLINGTON Council are working hard to find homes for rough sleepers in the borough during the Covid-19 emergency.

They are using up vacant council homes but that is not enough, so now they are placing people in hotels.

Yet one particular property in Tollington Road, N7, is sitting empty and has done so for up to two years. This is a building with three flats that could help house rough sleepers.

Despite Islington Council’s efforts to solve the homelessness crisis, Clarion Housing Association, who own the property, appear unwilling to help, even at this critical time.

The flats need some tidying up after two years of neglect, but surely this could be done? Everybody in the social housing sector should be trying to help.
