The Royal Borough intends to make an order to stop any vehicles from travelling along part of St Mark’s Road in Windsor from its junction with St Leonards Road westwards for a distance of approximately 30 metres to the western boundary of 8 St Mark’s Road.

The proposed order is to facilitate a new water connection and will be in operation from 12.01am on Monday, February 5 until 11.59pm on Wednesday, February 7.

The diversion route for those affected is via St Leonards Road, Queens Road, Alma Road and St Mark’s Road.
