Like many people, we have been concerned about the ongoing issues with parking machines in Windsor but parking problems also extend into our residential streets.

Residents of the Green Lane, Clewer Avenue, Clewer New Town area have told us they are frustrated by a hotchpotch of schemes and yellow lines which have been implemented without considering the knock-on effects on neighbouring streets. They tell us that restrictions have been applied piecemeal and that it has become harder to park in the evening and at weekends. Some female residents have been forced to walk long distances to their homes after dark as they can't find a space close to home.

SERVICES CUT, WHILST LOCAL CONSERVATIVES SPLASH-THE-CASH ON TAXPAYER PAID PARTY PROPAGANDA BANNERS AND PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS

Under current Conservative plans the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead's debt will rise to £240 million over the next four years.
The growing debt is a result of poor decision making in the Royal Borough, such as the recent £100,000 spent on lamp post banners and a promo feel good video, which were really tax-payer funded party propaganda for the Conservative council.
Conservative councillors were thrown into confusion earlier in the year when it emerged they had overspent this years budget by £8.8 million (about £220 per household). Opposition councillors had previously pointed out the problems with the council budget, but the Conservatives weren't prepared to listen to other people.
The burden of interest payments on growing debt has to be funded from council tax, eating up money badly needed by frontline services. With interest rates currently at all-time lows and with the value of the pound likely to drop post-Brexit, there is a big risk of significant interest rate rises.

Nursery schools, such as the outstanding Lawns Nursery in Imperial Road, are fearful for their futures as the Conservative government plans to cut their funding.

In 2017 the Tories introduced the Early Years Funding Formula for all childcare providers, which sought to make all early years providers receive the same amount of money. Realising their plans would leave council run nursery schools without enough money the tories provided transitional funding - but only until the end of the 2020 school year.
