Maidenhead & Windsor

Smarter travel and reducing carbon emissions will be on the menu at the December meeting of the Royal Windsor and Maidenhead Borough’s Thriving, Cleaner, Greener Ambition Group.

In a bid to enable more businesspeople to attend the quarterly gatherings – where ideas to improve the borough’s appearance, transport, economic development and tourism are discussed – the time has been changed to early morning.

Participants can tuck into a breakfast of croissants and bacon sandwiches in the Desborough Suite, Town Hall, Maidenhead, on Thursday December 13 from 8am to 9.30am while they hear about ways of taking actions to reduce their companies’ or organisations’ carbon footprint.

The key priorities of the group and its partners are to:
· improve the appearance of the borough
· assist the movement of people on our roads, footpaths and streets
· promote sustainable and healthy lifestyles
· support our residents and businesses to achieve their economic potential and promote tourism.

Work is carried out through sub-groups – focusing on economic well-being, getting about, the public realm and sustainability – who report back to the group on a quarterly basis.

Cllr Christine Bateson, lead member for Windsor and Maidenhead community, partnership and consultation, said: “Through the TCG group the council and business can work together to develop practical ways of improving the borough. I would encourage as many businesses as possible to get involved and help make a positive contribution to the community.”

Anyone interested in attending the meeting should contact Jonathan James, head of strategy and resources, on 01628 796539 or at jonathan.james@rbwm.gov.uk
