Welcome to Windsor!
Beautiful new grant-funded signs welcoming all to Windsor are being installed to replace the aging Rotary ones- 20 years on!
Thanks to The Economic Development Team and the team at Volker for making this happen.

Because they cut the maintenance budget for upkeep after cutting or freezing council tax for years and realising that you can’t maintain services if you don’t have Β£. A Tory financial legacy that we are fixing whilst also getting stuck in.

The delay of so many local elections is a disgraceful stitch-up between Labour and the Conservatives.

Where elections are still happening, the Liberal Democrats will campaign hard to build on last year’s historic election wins and give communities the strong voice they deserve.

Thames Water also need to get a grip of sewage releases and pipe leaks in RBWM - we need a proper structural solution so the public service can operate and deliver water services properly.

Bus companies are cancelling school routes in our area as they are not financially viable. We end up with even more cars clogging up our school roads.

Labour Forces More Debt on Royal Borough

Government 'kicks can down the road' and leaves future council tax payers the job of paying down the debt

"The case for electoral reform is urgent and undeniable.

"First-past the post is a system that no longer functions as a fair or effective mechanism for translating the will of the electorate into parliamentary representation."

What does it mean for you?
- Increase in council tax – tough decision, but the alternative, declaring bankruptcy, would be worse for residents.
- If approved, RBWM households will still pay less than their equivalents in neighbouring councils.
- Support will be available for those most in need.

30.01.2025 08:02 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

What are we doing about it?
- Improved governance, control, transformation plan, spending control panel and reporting
- Prepared and approved a detailed recovery plan that’s been independently validated
- Asking Government for a loan and approval to raise council tax.

30.01.2025 08:01 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Who was responsible?
- Previous Conservative administrations – it was their decisions to keep council tax low and sign up to poor deals including racking up Β£230m of debt – debt alone is now costing us all Β£19m a year to service.

30.01.2025 08:00 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Why has it happened?
- Short term decisions from past Conservative administrations reduced income and increased costs, now compounded by unprecedented demand for statutory support services for the most vulnerable.

30.01.2025 08:00 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

What’s the situation?
- The Council is on the verge of effective bankruptcy – and has been for several years – only us having discussions with Government are saving us from being forced to declare it.
