We are a community lead organisation who raise money for local community projects. We are responsible for events such as Easter & Christmas fairs and Rock the Rec. The money raised last year paid for the Christmas lights along Dedworth Road. We also fundraise for other local projects. Next up…
Men’s Matters is a friendly and supportive group of older men who meet on most Monday afternoons (2.00 – 4.00pm) except Bank Holidays at All Saints Church cafeteria in Dedworth. Our group size is typically 13 -15 men and we often have a guest speaker on issues relating to health and wellbeing. We make teas…
Get down to the Swan in Clewer to join our weekly Warhammer table top role playing game night! We are looking for both new and experienced plays to join our social group and game events. We have models available for new players and a donation station for new gamers to get into the hobby at…
Christian Aid AIMS: We stand together. For dignity. For equality. For justice. Everyone is equal in the sight of God. Yet we live in a world where poverty still persists. Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of their dignity and lets injustice thrive. But together we have the power to transform lives. …
We were lucky enough to get tickets for the king’s Coronation Concert Windsor Castle. Doesn’t need words, may add some later… enjoy the pictures & videos…
We are looking to put a listing of community events that are happening this summer together on our website and promote through our various physical notice boards & social channels. Free community events, school fairs, sports club events, etc we’ll promote for free. We reserve the right to charge a fee for commercial events. Please…
After the last couple of months I just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has helped me in whatever capacity. Especially Ali who let me run again… The election process can be a very hard and emotional process for all involved. The more energy you put in, the more you feel…
I distinctly remember that young 18 year old sitting on a ferry, off to France to start a month’s Inter-railing after sitting my A Levels, saying to himself that he would only truly be happy when he had kids. I took that middle pic probably 18 years ago and I can honestly say I have…
Independent definition – Free from outside control not subject to another’s authority. What independent means to me and why it is important to be truly independent. As the ONLY true Independent standing for Clewer & Dedworth West I would appreciate your vote on Thursday 4th May. Thank you. Cllr Jon Davey Independent Clewer & Dedworth…
I recently post this blog about the first six months as Tesco Dedworth’s Community Champion When I applied for the role I thought it would be nice to have a bit more variety in my work but it is so much more than that. I have been able to help many local people and community…
Since being elected to represent Clewer & Dedworth West I have written over 500 blog posts for I Love Windsor, with over 60% having a RBWM Councillor theme. That’s a lot of content to work through to create a rounded summary for this blog! I’ve highlighted some of my achievements / challenges over the last…
The photo is from the 2019 election count. David Knowles-Leak (DKL) was a good friend of mine who was always brilliant at asking searching questions. I invited him onto the FSB Committee when I was Chair and he flew up the ranks. He was Chair of Maidenhead Labour Party and strongly challenged the behaviour of…
As a Rotarian I have run the Youth Speaks competition in our club for best part of 10 years and this last year took on responsibility for the District (some 60 clubs). One of the District teams, Didcot Girls, made it through to the National Finals, funnily enough debating if the voting age should be…
In 2009 I was invited to join Windsor & Eton Rotary Club and got to appreciate a different world, less business orientated, helping to raise thousands of pounds for local people in need and good causes. And by way of a bonus, we’ve been invited to some right Royal events 😉 We were lucky enough…
There were 10 of us at today’s (28th April) coffee morning and we essentially learned that the levels of support needed in the community just keep on increasing as Gov resources keep on dwindling and if we are going to look after our communities we need to keep talking and filling the gaps ourselves. Thankfully…
6 days to go to the election and so time for Part 2 of 7, creating and evolving Business in Berkshire (BinB) which was born out of being Chair of East Berkshire FSB and looking to grow my email marketing business. In 2008 we had 5,000,000 page views 😉 Back then it was difficult to…
With 7 days remaining before the election it made sense to write 7 illustrative blog posts, one a day, about how I feel I have added value to the local community over the years, starting with being Chair of East Berkshire Federation of Small Businesses. Around 2002, as a small business owner, I was invited…
This time next week it will be polling day and candidates, you’ll be pleased to hear, are not allowed to canvas for your votes 😉 In the meantime, many of you will be looking to review the election flyers that have been posted through your door. Chances are you don’t have a full selection… Don’t…
Coronation weekend events in Windsor
According to our Love Windsor Community News Poll, most residents would happily pay more council tax if it wasn’t wasted on vanity projects. Currently 55% of respondents say they would you be willing to pay more council tax if it was guaranteed the money would not be wasted but invested efficiently in local services? When…
Special events in Windsor for the local community to celebrate the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla have today been revealed by the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead.
Essentially, the inclusion of the both Garden Centres in the Borough Local Plan (BLP) meant that they were doomed. The previous Conservative Councillors failed to fight to protect the garden centres, allowing them to be included in the BLP. The practical reality is, cafes are allowed in the green belt but if you want to…
The 23rd April should be recognised as a National Day of celebration where all communities across England come together.
The Royal Windsor Flower Show Saturday 10th June 2023, 10am – 6pm, Windsor Great Park – BOOK HERE
RBWM CIPFA Review CC52 Clewer & Dedworth Neighbourhood Improvements £350,000
Lease the site at Braywick Park to Maidenhead United FC. Plans called in and decision sent back for review.
Earlier this week I was talking to colleagues about Eid and how we might do something to recognise the celebration within our local community. Taking time to understand each other’s religious beliefs is important if we are going to have strong local communities. I phoned a friend of mine to ask more about Eid and…
The idea of a 15-min neighbourhood is that everything a person needs should be within a 15-minute walk or cycle from any point in a city. This includes work, shopping, education, healthcare, leisure and any other amenities a person may need in their regular life. Locally, perhaps Windsor Castle could be considered an early example…
For those in the know, saying Paul doesn’t like much doesn’t get close, he’s a hard task master and he just LIKED my climate change hustings summary video! I’d been happy enough to just share my video on FB but him liking it is akin to getting some bling in the honours list 😉 I…
Once upon a time there was a coffee shop or two at this end of Windsor but not now and if the Tories or their friends get voted in, there could be blocks of flats and terraced town houses as far as the eye can see! For some areas of land, like AL22, planning applications…
