Maidenhead & Windsor

Maidenhead Residents are invited to speak up on issues that concern them as they could be placed on the Royal Borough's area forum agenda.

Area forums offer local Maidenhead people a fast-track way of airing the issues that concern them by either asking questions directly at the meetings or proposing agenda items – and with agendas 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 next meetings are:
· Wednesday February 7 – Windsor and Eton Town Forum (deadline for agenda items is 5pm on Monday January 29); chairman – Cllr Lee Hibbard
· Thursday February 15 – Maidenhead Town Forum (deadline 5pm on Tuesday February 6); chairman – Cllr Alison Napier

The deadlines for questions and issues help Maidenhead councillors and officers to gather as 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.

The meetings will start at 6.30pm. Further information about area forums is available on 01628 796168.
