Car parks are still shoddy, not ‘flagship’

Via social media and an article in the Maidenhead Advertiser I highlighted the appalling condition of three of RBWM’s multi-storey car parks.

Cllr Coppinger was quick to apologise and request officers bring Stafferton Way car park up to a standard we can be proud of (Viewpoint, August 18).

I regret to say that, whilst the vegetation running along the side of the car park has been removed and it appears some cleaning has taken place in the lobby areas, to describe it as in a condition that ‘we can be proud of’ is somewhat of an overstatement in my view.

Many areas, including those around ticket machines, have pigeon droppings and accumulated dirt.

Some stairways are unclean and in poor condition.

I recently saw a Twitter posting of Windsor Conservatives out canvassing.

The group photograph included the leader of RBWM, Andrew Johnson.

Their message was it’s essential we return the flagship low-tax administration for four more years.

I would challenge Andrew Johnson to visit the MSCP’s with me and look me in the eye and tell me:

1.They are maintained to a standard we can be proud of,

2.They are being maintaining in accordance with the schedule recently supplied to me under an FOI,

3.They represent a flagship local authority.
