WE'RE ORGANISING TO ENSURE THE REDEVELOPMENT OF HOLLOWAY PRISON MEETS THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITIES
Opportunity for young people in Islington to get trained, build skills and get paid!
Our new youth research project will train local young people to carry out research into the needs and views of their peers about the local community, especially the redevelopment of the Holloway Prison site.
UPDATE The project has now started so we’re not looking for any more young researchers, but you can contact the project lead Alan Hopson at Cp4hyouthresearch@gmail.com to find out more and watch this space for further opportunities to get involved.
We're an independent coalition of groups and residents working to ensure the needs of the local community are at the heart of the redevelopment of Holloway Prison. Islington Council has approved Peabody's plans to build 985 new flats on the site and demolition began in October 2022.

WHAT'S IN THE PLANS?
In March 2022, Islington Council approved Peabody’s plans to develop the site into housing, including 415 homes at social rent, a park, and a floor in one building to provide women's services. Demolition is currently underway. We're holding Peabody and the council to account for the promises they have made.
