People seeking flats to rent in Islington may be about to receive a major boost from the allocation of additional funding to improve transport the borough.
London mayor Boris Johnson has agreed a fund of £2.6 million to be spent via Transport for London to make a range of enhancements to services.
Two safety and environmental projects will be benefitting from the cash, with £550,000 going to the Hornsey Road scheme - designed to benefit cyclists and pedestrians as well as improving road safety.
