TRAVEL INFORMATION
Windsor traffic - leave extra time for journeys next week
Two major events in Windsor next week will bring high levels of additional traffic into the town and the Royal Borough is advising drivers to leave extra time for their journeys.
Windsor Horse Show runs from Wednesday 13 May to Sunday 17 May in Home Park and the usual high volumes of daytime traffic will continue into the evening with the second year of the highly successful Windsor Castle Royal Tattoo to be held from Wednesday to Saturday (13 - 16 May).
Heavy traffic is expected on all five main approach routes to Windsor from Ascot, Old Windsor, Datchet, Eton/Slough and from the west on the A308.
Cllr Colin Rayner, lead member for highways and streetcare, said the council had worked closely with the events’ organisers to encourage them to help reduce traffic congestion by promoting the use of public transport.
“We welcome these internationally-recognised events to Windsor and appreciate the benefits to the town and its economy. However, we want to ensure that disruption for our local residents and businesses is kept to the absolute minimum - and that people travelling to Windsor are fully aware that thousands of others will be doing the same and to expect delays.”
There is expected to be major traffic congestion on the evenings of the tattoo and the council’s advice to those not attending the event is to avoid Windsor and Datchet as a through route on these evenings.”
The council’s Home Park, Romney Lock and Kind Edward VII (Datchet Road) car parks will be closed to the public during the horse show and tattoo. All other council car parks will be open as usual. Car parking details can be found at www.rbwm.gov.uk
