Islington Council has finished construction on a new housing development comprising 46 council-owned properties on the Elthorne Estate. The Greater London Authority provided over £4 million towards the scheme, which features accessible and adaptable homes built to current standards. A ceremony to mark the completion of the project took place on 22 July.
Addressing Housing Needs
The development, described as fully affordable by Islington Council, was reconfigured to ensure all units remain under council ownership, removing any private sale properties. The project also incorporates improvements to Zoffany Park and introduces a new community area. Councillor Jason Jackson, Islington Council's executive member for homes and neighbourhoods, stated that the new homes are intended to support local families facing challenges within the current housing crisis.
