Submitted 2024/2025
Presented by: Mark Bristow - Petition submitted Wednesday 29 May 2024
Lead Officer: Tim Golabek - Service Lead, Transport & Infrastructure
Petition: We the undersigned petition the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to provide a bus service to find a solution to the traffic problems on Sunninghill High Street which causes serious danger to children and other pedestrians. The current traffic situation on the B3020 at Sunninghill High Street cannot continue. Due to on street parking and a complete lack of traffic management, there is absolute gridlock several times a day. People use the junction of the High Street and School Road as an unofficial passing place - immediately outside a primary school. Parking on the High Street during peak times reduces the road to a single lane causing serious congestion. This in turn causes drivers to speed along the High Street when seeing that the lane appears clear before being blocked again by oncoming traffic. The parked vehicles and waiting traffic obstruct vision and access to the pedestrian crossing outside the Novello Theatre leading to St Michaels school. This has resulted in numerous near misses where children have narrowly avoided being run over.
Update: This petition was submitted to the Assistant Director and relevant lead officers. The lead petitioner has been in regular contact with officers who are going through the correct steps to achieve a possible resolution. The lead officer has asked those officers to create a short summary of the progress made so far and what the next steps will be. This will be presented to the Assistant Director and the relevant Cabinet Member, and will then be sent to the lead petitioner. If all is agreed, no further action will be required.

Lead Officer: Tim Golabek - Service lead, Transport, Highways and Parking
Petition: We the undersigned petition the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to stop any introduction of parking charges in Ascot, Sunninghill & Sunningdale high streets. RBWM are currently looking at ways to boost their finances. One of the ideas is to introduce parking charges across Ascot, Sunninghill & Sunningdale. Many users of these shops are people who don't live within walking distance, have young kids or limited mobility so need to drive. By introducing charges, it will be seen as another tax on motorist and the demise of our high streets. I feel by introducing parking charges, it will see the already low footfall get even lower. Shops in our local high streets are already struggling and this will be the straw that breaks the camels back.
Update: This petition was submitted to the relevant lead officer. The lead officer confirmed that he would contact the Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport & Customer Service Centre and provide further updates following this.
