The Ministry of Justice has been sitting on the 23 empty flats for a decade - but campaigners want them turned into much-needed housing for local families.

A block of empty flats once used by prison officers in London should be used for homes, according to a campaign group.

Morag Gillie, from Islington Homes for All, said a friend of hers lived next to the empty flats with her daughter and two grandchildren. With a housing waiting list of about 16,000, there was a "dire shortage in Islington for those large family-sized homes", he added.
