Maidenhead & Windsor

The doors are open to Maidenhead residents who want to get local issues on the agenda for Royal Borough discussion.

Area forums offer local people a fast track way of airing the issues that concern them by either asking questions directly at the meetings or putting forward agenda items – and with agendas now being prepared for the next round of meetings, now is the time to put forward questions or topics for discussion.

These should be submitted in writing before the deadlines (below) to : Area Forums, c/o Corporate Performance and Development, Town Hall, St Ives Road, Maidenhead SL6 1RF, or by email to area.forums@rbwm.gov.uk. Alternatively, residents should ask one of their local ward councillors to request that an item be raised at the next meeting.

If the chairman of the forum agrees, the matter will not only be discussed but the resident will be invited to speak at the meeting.

Dates and deadlines for the autumn meetings are:
· Wednesday October 18 – Windsor and Eton Town Forum (deadline for questions and agenda items is 12 noon on Friday October 6); chairman – Cllr Lee Hibbard
· Monday October 30 – Maidenhead Town Forum (deadline 12 noon Wednesday October 18); chairman – Cllr Alison Napier

The deadlines for questions and issues help councillors and officers to gather much information as possible before the meetings. However, the council aims to be as flexible as possible, so forum chairmen have discretion to take appropriate late items for discussion in the best interests of their local communities.

Further information about area forums is available on 01628 796168.
