In total 396 (21%) adult visitors were interviewed at key locations: • Windsor & Eton Bridge • Corner of High Street & Castle Hill • Peascod Street • Windsor Royal Station • Guildhall area Windsor Visitor Survey Visitor Profile Visitor Type Of the 396 visitor groups interviewed, 89% were day visitors.

Maps 13 from The Prince’s Foundation Enquiry by Design. Photographs by kind permission of Peter Deason, Martin Baker and other members of the Neighbourhood Plan team. Introduction from the Co-Chairs of the Steering Group Welcome on behalf of the Steering Group for the Ascot, Sunninghill and Sunningdale Neighbourhood Plan. In early 2010, the two Parishes of Sunninghill & Ascot and Sunningdale were offered a great opportunity by the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to come together and become a Front Runner Neighbourhood Plan, as enabled by the government’s Localism proposals. It’s been a long journey of 3 years, with full-scale consultation leading to the delivery of this Plan. The Ascot, Sunninghill & Sunningdale Neighbourhood Plan (NP) Steering Group has been led by local residents (volunteers), with the aim of preparing a Plan that will deliver the long term goals of a balanced and vibrant neighbourhood. Since September 2010 we have held many public meetings, online and paper consultations, to seek the views of local residents and other stakeholders, groups and businesses who share an interest in our neighbourhood area. An active website has allowed everyone to keep up to date with our progress and to make contact with us. All involved in developing the Neighbourhood Plan have listened very carefully to all the feedback received through all these consultations and have worked hard to ensure that the Plan incorporates and reflects the views of the community.

  • Overview of Bridge Maintenance and Strengthening Works for 11-12
    Overview of Bridge Maintenance and Strengthening Works for 11-12 General Management of Bridges/Structures The Royal Borough undertakes regular inspections of bridges and other highway structures to ensure public safety under the Highways Act section 41 in accordance with bridge code of practice 2005. These inspections identify works related to the condition of the structure and make recommendations for refurbishment, replacement or maintenance. Regular works include assessments that feed into the strengthening works programme; asset management activities to improve the processes for management of the structures’ stock and any temporary weight limits required prior to strengthening. These assessments may also consider the suitability of a structure to carry an abnormal load (e.g. mobile cranes). The Code of Practice for Highway Structures has also identified the need to complete detailed structural reviews of bridges every 12 years, to ensure that the load assessment remains to current standards, and is based on the current condition of the bridge. The following five structures assessments are overdue and have been identified as requiring an updated assessment in 2011/12 to comply with the National Requirements, and ensure they remain safe and serviceable. B418 Broomhall Lane – Sunningdale B422 Charters road – Sunningdale B425 Howe lane - Holyport B879 Plough Inn, B376 Horton road – Datchet B896 Fifteen Arch B3022 Slough Road - Eton. The assessment of these bridges would include determining both the safe load capacity of the bridges and any recommended repairs. Total costs for assessments to these 5 structures are £50,000 Specific Priority Works 2011/12 CG10 Blacknest Bridge, A329 London Road, Ascot.
