Maidenhead & Windsor

Borough residents in several Maidenhead residential roads are enjoying a walk "on the safe side" following the repair of selective lengths of footway – and Windsor residents look set for the same "treatment" in the next few weeks.

The repairs carried out on pavements in five roads in Maidenhead – and scheduled for a further two roads in Windsor – form part of the council's annual programme of highway maintenance which also includes road resurfacing and street lighting. (In the coming year between 55 and 60 roads are scheduled to be resurfaced – and about 120 hazardous street light columns replaced.)

The £50,000 scheme has seen repairs to sections of the following roads in Maidenhead:
St Ives Road
St Marks Crescent
Courthouse Road
Cookham Road
All Saints Avenue .

Under way – and due for completion by the end of the month – are similar works in Barry Avenue at the junction with Goswell Road and part of King Edward V11 Avenue in Windsor.

Maidenhead Cllr Antony Wood, lead member for road safety, said: "The council is committed to the safety of our residents by ensuring that the footways around the borough are well-maintained on a regular basis – as well as providing a ‘greener' pedestrian alternative to the car.

"We carry out regular inspections and prioritise a number of footway schemes every year based on factors ranging from feedback from residents to technical assessments."
