Our responses to consultations
We regularly respond to consultations on proposed laws and policies that affect our ability to manage and build homes and provide services for residents.
What are consultations?
Government departments and public bodies often ask people to share their views on proposed changes to laws, policies or services. These public consultations are designed to gather feedback from people who might be affected, including individuals, groups and organisations.
After the consultation closes, the public body usually publishes a summary of the responses and explains how these views have influenced their decisions.
Why we take part
We take part in consultations because, as an established housing association, we can offer insight into how proposed policies might work in practice.
Our responses draw on our experience of delivering services and building and managing homes.
How to get involved
If you live in social housing, your voice matters too. You can find information about current consultations and how to respond on the websites of relevant public bodies.
We also offer opportunities for residents to get involved at L&Q and help shape the services we provide directly.
Our latest responses to government consultations
- The 2030 fuel poverty target
As a member of the G15, we prioritise warm and affordable homes that safeguard residents’ health and wellbeing.
While progress has been made, challenges like labour shortages, rising costs, and regulatory pressures hinder full compliance.
We urge government support through a long-term Warm and Decent Homes fund to replace fragmented short-term schemes.
Tackling fuel poverty requires inclusive EPC reforms, better energy education, and collaboration with health and community services. Together, we can ensure no household is left behind.
- Rising housing crisis and financial strain on social landlords
As a member of the G15, we welcome the opportunity to contribute to the spending review and calls for urgent action to restore the sector’s capacity to build and maintain homes.
We urge government to treat affordable housing as critical infrastructure - unlocking long-term investment and supporting inclusive growth.
A stable rent settlement, renewed Affordable Homes Programme, and equal access to safety funding are essential.
With the right support, housing associations can help solve the capital’s housing crisis and ensure every Londoner has a safe, warm, and affordable home.
