Citizens Advice Bureau opens in Islington
A new Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) has opened on Upper Street, offering independent guidance to those living in property to rent in the London borough of Islington.
The CAB will offer face-to-face advice to local residents on issues including benefits, housing, employment and debt.
On its first day, nearly 40 customers visited the centre, which is thought to be the first new CAB to open in London for over 20 years.
Councillor Catherine West, leader of Islington Council said: "The CAB's return to Islington with a high street presence hasn't come a day too soon."
She went on to say that the service was brought to the borough as the council wants residents to "have the very best advice possible in the face of the harshest government cuts any of us have ever seen".
Earlier this week, those living in property to rent in the London borough of Islington were advised that census collectors are to be door-knocking across the area to collect unreturned forms.
