NOT appoint a Joint Venture Partner or to undertake any actions towards developing at Baths Island, Alexandra Gardens Coach Park and Alexandra Gardens Car Park until after it has undertaken a full consultation with Residents of Windsor (cont)

We the undersigned petition the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead to NOT appoint a Joint Venture Partner or to undertake any actions towards developing at Baths Island, Alexandra Gardens Coach Park and Alexandra Gardens Car Park until after it has undertaken a full consultation with Residents of Windsor and Eton to establish public support in principle for development at these sites.

At the Maidenhead Town Forum in March, the council made a ‘hot off the press’ announcement about redevelopment of the land surrounding Alexandra Gardens, including the coach and carpark and Baths Island. This was described as ‘mixed development’ and would involve relocating or replacing the coach park and car parking, though it was not made clear where to. Neither was it made clear what would happen at Baths Island but the Property Company MD said that there would be a vision for Windsor similar to Maidenhead. The council’s stated next step is to appoint a Joint Venture (JV) partner, who would produce plans for the area, before consulting with residents in 2022. However, once a JV partner is in place it is likely that by this point it would be difficult for the council to pull out and leave the area untouched if that is what residents want.
We believe that the process should be halted until residents have been consulted and that ‘NOT’ developing Baths Island should be an option.
