'Last chance' petition objects to council tax rises
A petition has been launched to give Royal Borough residents ‘probably the last chance’ to object against council tax rises above the national threshold.
A petition has been launched to give Royal Borough residents ‘probably the last chance’ to object against council tax rises above the national threshold.
The Royal Borough’s town crier is among those featured in a major new public awareness campaign aimed at boosting fruit and veg intake.
A watchdog believes RBWM paid too little to properly subsidise a disabled teen's trips to college - and they should have considered free transport.
Councils can apply for 'exceptional financial support' to help them handle financial pressures - but RBWM thinks this is 'a poor mechanism' that simply kicks the can down the road.
A big wheel is set to return to Windsor this March and remain in place throughout the summer, subject to approval from the Royal Borough.
