Welcome to Islington Liberal Democrats. We are a group of local activists and campaigners who are working to make Islington a fairer, safer, greener and more prosperous borough.
Islington is one of the most vibrant and diverse boroughs in the country. However it faces great challenges: inequality, crime, pollution and poor quality housing are among the most pressing.
Without change the United Kingdom, London and Islington face a poorer future. Islington Liberal Democrats have a positive vision for an Islington where all communities can live a good life, with the Council getting the basics right, delivering better transport, affordable and high quality homes and a cleaner, safer borough.
Nationally and locally our members work for a fairer voting system so that everyone's voice is heard, rebuilding our relationship with the European Union to reverse the negative effects of Brexit, and tackling climate change so that our children have a future.
We hope that you will be inspired to join us to fight for a fairer Islington.
