Lib Dem Administration renews commitment to a Windsor Town Council

Tonight at Windsor Forum, the Lib Dem Administration reinforced it's commitment to forming a Windsor Town Council.

The Government's recent white paper on devolution about their desire to create larger unitary authorities- with a 'super authority' for Berkshire a future possibility. We believe this will take democracy further from the people and Town Councils will become even more important.

Establishing a Windsor Town Council was a key manifesto promise.

The Lib Dem Administration considers it essential that a Windsor Town Council is implemented no later than any Local Authority reorganisation.

A Community Governance review will commence when feasible (subject to financial and capacity limitations) and to ensure timelines are in accordance with wider reorganisations.

Residents looking for further information should see the Government White Paper and here for information on the implications for local government.
