Cabinet to consider early increases to fees and charges to help balance the budget

The RBWM Cabinet will on Wednesday 29 November consider increases to a range of fees and charges for services from 1 January 2024, in response to the serious financial position it is facing.

Among changes to a range of chargeable services, Cabinet will also be asked to approve commencing public consultation on changes to parking fees and charges. These changes would come into effect from February, once feedback from the consultation has been considered.

The changes include proposals to freeze parking charges in the two main town centre multi-storey car parks that we operate (Hines Meadow in Maidenhead and Victoria Street in Windsor) for the first three hours.

This supplements the existing one-hour free residents’ parking offer at these car parks and selected council-operated car parks across the borough. 

The one-hour free for residents will remain to encourage residents to enjoy leisure activities and shopping within their local town centre.
