We assessed public perceptions concerning the London Borough of Hounslow’s (LBH) COVID-19 response to improve adherence to policy in future contingency plans. We created a comprehensive policy timeline to contextualize LBH initiatives and surveyed 70 residents to explore public perceptions. Survey participants perceived PPE, testing, and vaccines as accessible and policy communication as effective. Participants’ perceptions of local policies reflected the national response discourse. We recommend the LBH collect and analyze a representative survey sample and expand outreach methods.
