We did

Following the result of this survey, we will propose the implementation of:

  • 2 dedicated bays on Albert Street
  • 3 dedicated bays on Alma Road
  • 1 dedicated bay on College Road
  • 1 dedicated bay on Frances Road
  • 2 dedicated bays on Lower Boydon Road
  • 2 dedicated bays on St Leonards Road
  • No dedicated parking bays on Cromwell Road, due to the strong opposition to the implementation

A legal consultation, under the Road Traffic Act 1984, will be carried out before the implementation of the bays.

Overview

As part of our commitment to promoting the uptake of electric vehicles in the borough, supporting our Net Zero strategy, and responding to requests from residents, we are consulting on a proposal to introduce two dedicated Electric Vehicle (EV) recharging-only parking bays on the following roads:

  • Albert Street, Windsor
  • Alma Road, Windsor
  • College Road, Maidenhead
  • Cromwell Road, Maidenhead
  • Frances Road, Windsor
  • Lower Boyndon Road, Maidenhead
  • St Leonards Road, Windsor

These dedicated bays would improve access to EV charging facilities, which are often obstructed by Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. 

With only a small number of bays proposed for EVs, there will still be sufficient parking available for other vehicles in the area. 

To share your views on the creation of these parking bays, please complete the survey below by 25 January 2026.
