There’s a way we can help shape Windsors future in a positive manner. It will help balance the Government’s “permissive” legislation that allows developers to profiteer with no regard to the needs of residents and local communities.
It’s through the Windsor Neighbourhood Plan.
What’s your vision for Windsor?
What’s your vision for Windsor? Lots more housing estates? Congested roads? Over crowded schools? Ugly buildings everywhere? No access to the Town Centre? High rise buildings on the riverside? A scarred urban landscape?
Or might you prefer affordable housing, wider roads, better amenities, improved transport, elegant buildings, beautiful riverside vistas, wide open green spaces, schools where our children can breathe and thrive…
A vision document
Based on the feedback they have received from many concerned residents like yourself, the Windsor Neigbourhood Plan’s team of ordinary residents, have set out a draft vision about what Windsor will look and feel like over the next 15 years and beyond.
The vision document should be popping through your letterbox anytime now. It’s called, “Have your say on future planning decisions in the Windsor Neighbourhood Plan area – Our local Neighbourhood Plan – tell us what you think . . .”

A word about which parts of Windsor it covers
Here’s a map of the area the amazing WNP or residents, and experts, have devoted their time to serving.
What happened to the town centre?
Sadly, it does not include the town centre because of the efforts of a divisive breakaway group.
There is much controversy about the way the Council allocated key areas of Windsor to the separate “business only” group, which you can read about in other articles on this site, like, “Have your say on the Neighbourhood Plan.“
