In an ongoing battle against protecting tenants against unfit accommodation, Islington Council have forced a notorious local landlord to submit 140 planning applications, in a fight that has cost council tax payers over £170,000.
The findings have come from a poll by lender Halifax, and explore factors such as the areas labour markets, amenities, leisure facilities, housing, life expectancy and health.
The area tops a list of 50 UK locations, and has knocked long-term number one Hart off the top-spot, a place it has held for the last five years. Hart has now dropped down to 26th place.
