Alexandra Gate Visit

I received a lovely tour of the Alexandra Gate Estate in Wood Green by housing association, L&Q. I had the opportunity to stop and speak to some of its fantastic residents, who told me how much they love living there. The visit was a good chance to build a better relationship with L&Q in order to better serve residents, who I know have struggled with issues with service charges and repairs.

Far too many leaseholders have faced unfair costs, poor transparency and an imbalance of power that has left people feeling trapped in their own homes. In the summer, I hosted a meeting between residents from this estate and the housing association to facilitate resolutions, and I was glad to follow up by touring the estate.
