Following Islington’s fifth consecutive labour win earlier this month, council leader Una O’Halloran has announced the new executive team. The team will continue building on Islington Labour’s record of standing up for their residents and ensuring Islington is a place to have pride in.
The new team are:
Leader: Cllr Una O’Halloran

In their new roles Islington Labour’s executive will continue building on the successes of the last four years, pioneering Islington as a borough for environmental protection, housing, equality, and empowered residents. They will also work hard to implement the manifesto that Islington residents voted for.
Welcoming the new Executive team, Councillor Una O’Halloran said: “I am delighted to welcome my new team to help run Islington council, I know they are all fantastic councillors and community champions and that they will put Islington residents first in all that they do”.
In a tribute to outgoing executive members, Una said; ” I am so sorry to have seen such fantastic colleagues lose their seats or go elsewhere, I am so grateful for all their hard work and support. I wish them the best of luck and hope that they will stay close”.
Following on from the election, the new Islington Labour team are beginning their work to stand up for Islington residents and deliver on their manifesto promises. You can find out more here about the plans for the next four years
