A conversation with Fiona Fletcher–Smith, Group Chief Executive, Fayann Simpson, Chair of Resident Service Board and Group Board Member, and Gerri Scott, Group Director, Customer Services

Our performance 

Our Customer Promise sets out five things we pledge to do for you.

The promise is designed to help you understand what you can expect from us in a clear and simple way without having to know the detailed individual services we offer and how we go about delivering this.

The annual resident conference brings together residents with our most senior members of the business to report on the progress we’ve made throughout the year.

During the conference, residents raised several themes throughout the day including:

  • a disconnect between what we’re saying and what you’re experiencing
  • providing access to information throughout the year, so that the conference doesn’t feel like your one and only opportunity to hear what we’re doing
  • importance of local transparency, information sharing and relationships. Also, the role of local, patch-based teams in sharing information and capturing your feedback
  • clarity on the role and responsibility of resident forums – and how to be part of this 
  • service charges – knowing and understanding what you’re paying for
We presented the themes raised at our annual resident conference to a panel of our Directors - watch or listen to what they had to say

Involving residents

We believe the best way to improve our services is by residents and our colleagues working together.

There is a growing community of L&Q residents, working at local and strategic levels, and across the whole of L&Q helping us to improve services and support our neighbourhoods.

To find out more about getting involved as an L&Q resident, please visit our resident involvement page.
