Welcome to Old Windsor Parish Council

Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for the period 2026 to 2041 can be found at https://rbwmtogether.rbwm.gov.uk/flood-risk-management-strategy

As a Lead Local Flood Authority, the Royal Borough has a duty to develop, maintain, apply and monitor a strategy for local flood risk management. We published the current Local Flood Risk Management Strategy in 2014, and since then there have been significant changes, driven by both national and local policy, as well as the growing threat of climate change. This means that an update is now required.

We have developed a new draft Local Flood Risk Management Strategy for the period 2026 to 2041, setting out a long-term vision for managing flood risk over the next 15 years. The draft strategy includes measures to ensure that its objectives and actions remain relevant throughout its lifespan.

We are now seeking views on this draft Local Flood Risk Management Strategy and invite residents and interested stakeholders to respond to this consultation.

The Flood Risk Team will be running drop-in events during the consultation period at the following locations:

• Monday 22^nd June – 1pm to 4pm at Windsor Library
• Thursday 25th June - 3.30pm to 6.30pm at Ascot Durning Library
• Thursday 2^nd July - 3.30pm-6.30pm at Maidenhead Library

The consultation will be open for six weeks and will close at midnight on Sunday 12 July 2026. If you need help accessing or completing the online survey, you can request assistance at one of our libraries.
