Royal Borough Needs £48.8m Emergency Support This Year, £111.9m by 2031

Windsor lives with the castle and the Great Park on its doorstep and a very large number of visitors passing through, which makes it an unusual place to actually live in. Eton is over the bridge, Maidenhead is up the road with the Thames and the Elizabeth line, and Ascot, Sunninghill, Datchet and Old Windsor fill in around them.

Windsor Today reports what the borough’s own record shows. The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead has been a unitary authority since 1998, so planning, bins, roads, licensing, council tax and schools are all decided by one body. It publishes the evidence for those decisions where hardly anybody reads it. We read it and write down what it says, with a link to the document every time.

Start here

• Windsor house prices: £584,743 on average and barely moving, with the median sale in every postcode sector of the borough.
• Trains to London: why the 44-minute change at Slough beats the 58-minute direct train, plus fares and season tickets.
• Roadworks and parking: every council car park tariff, the free hour most residents miss, and what is being dug up this week.
• Things to do: the castle at £32, the Long Walk at nothing, and nine more with prices checked against each venue.
• Planning news: the new Local Plan, open for comment until 13 September 2026, and a housing land supply down to 3.53 years.

Every one of those pages lives in Local Info, and nothing goes up without a link to its source.
