Background:

Our Conservative led Council is short of money and in February decided to introduce charges for residents' permits:

• £50 first car
• £70 second car
• £100 further cars

The charges were due to start from July for all permit holders, regardless of the expiry date of their current free permit.

As a result of the current Covid 19 health restrictions, Windsor & Maidenhead Borough Council have cancelled the annual "Borough in Bloom" competition, which is usually judged by each council ward's councillors visiting their areas to identify really stunning gardens in person.

As we're unable to visit your gardens this year, we'd love you to bring them to us!

Local Lib Dem led Campaign Group "Save Alexandra Gardens 2020" are calling on the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council and the Royal Borough Property Company to postpone any decisions about development at Alexandra Gardens Coach & Car Parks until the Covid-19 crisis has passed.

Conservative plans to develop Alexandra Gardens, which have thus far been developed in secret, first came to the Lib Dems' attention in March 2019 after a disagreement on social media between local Conservatives about plans for Alexandra Gardens, however attempts by local Liberal Democrats to get information on the plans through a Freedom of Information request to the Royal Borough in 2019 were rebuffed.

Save Alexandra Gardens 2020

This is the home page for our latest campaign to stop the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, under Conservative leadership, from developing at Alexandra Gardens.

This will be the third attempt to build at Alexandra Gardens, this time driven by the need to bail out the council which has massively overspent its budget and is running short on money.

More Than A Shelter

Until they were stopped in this year's budget, all councillors were given an allowance, which they could donate to a good cause of their choice. Having followed the project last year, and hearing lots of good things about More Than A Shelter - Windsor, I decided to direct my allowance to them and on Tuesday evening, I popped down to see the project in action during their final week.
