coordination gaps
Islington Council is addressing coordination gaps and funding issues hindering effective adaptation to extreme heat in its buildings.
Islington Council is currently addressing coordination gaps, a lack of effective collaboration, regarding adaptation to extreme heat. The Environment, Climate and Transport Scrutiny Committee heard in October 2026 that adapting the borough's buildings to rising temperatures is challenged by inconsistent funding and a fragmented approach.
A report presented findings from summer 2026, highlighting that heat resilience depends on the interplay between buildings, people, and services. The committee noted that a more coordinated strategy is required, despite the council's established practical service adaptations and public health expertise. No further meetings are currently scheduled.
