The Royal Borough has moved a step closer to net carbon zero emissions, following adoption of the Environment and Climate Strategy for the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead.

The strategy was created following the council’s environment and climate emergency declaration and builds on its vision to create a borough of opportunity and innovation.

A series of community workshops were held along with an eight-week public consultation on the draft strategy.

The strategy sets out the council’s vision and strategic framework to achieve our net-zero-carbon-emissions target. It is made up of four strategic themes: 

• circular economy - more sustainable resource use, increasing recycling rates and supporting less resource-intensive lifestyles
• energy - reducing consumption, decarbonising our supply of energy and increasing local renewable generation
• natural environment - supporting biodiversity, health and wellbeing
• transport - reducing the need for carbon intensive travel by encouraging walking and cycling, as well as investing in digital infrastructure

Thousands respond to consultation on proposed walking and cycling schemes

Thousands of residents have responded to a consultation around proposed cycling and walking improvements in the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead.

It asked for feedback on:

• Two low traffic neighbourhoods in West Windsor.
• School streets near local schools in Ascot, Maidenhead and Windsor.
• A bus gate on Shoppenhangers Road, Maidenhead.

A total of 2,221 responses were received on the idea of low traffic neighbourhoods, with about 90% opposed to the proposals.

The proposed bus gate attracted 2,225 responses, of which 95% of respondents disagreed with the plans.

Both of these schemes will therefore not be taken forward.

Councillor Gerry Clark, cabinet member for transport and infrastructure, said: "I am delighted that residents in their thousands have engaged with the latest infrastructure consultation.

“The consultation has done its job and we have listened. It is clear from the results that residents are against the bus gate and the low traffic neighbourhood proposals and therefore these schemes will not be progressed.”

The school streets proposals each received between 30 and 300 responses, which showed mixed support.

The majority of respondents supported the schemes proposed for Boyne Hill Infant and Nursery School and Larchfield Primary and Nursery School. 

The council will now engage with these schools to determine the most appropriate way forward and determine whether this can be delivered through the available funding. 

Other school streets proposals were not supported, including those for Trevelyan Middle School in Windsor, South Ascot Village Primary School and Lowbrook Academy, Newlands Girls’ School and Wessex Primary School in Maidenhead.
