Windsor 2012 Legacy Bridge - Please Vote for the Bridge!
Dear Supporter, thank you for signing the e-petition for the Permanent Footbridge across the Thames. RBWM have recently published their Participatory Budget which includes an option to vote for some initial funding for development of the Windsor 2012 Permanent Legacy Footbridge. You have the opportunity over the next three weeks to vote to determine whether this ‘seedcorn’ investment is made. With the money from the Participatory Budget we will be able to develop the concept further and prepare for a planning application, essential for getting the future funds needed (future funding will be sought from sources such as the lottery, companies, benefactors and the public through a ‘buy a plank’ scheme). Full public consultation and presentations will start in September.
To vote go to http://www.rbwm.gov.uk/web/consultation_your_local_budget.htm and choose the 'online questionnaire' half way down the page. The first page of the questionnaire gives you 10 choices (bridge not among them) but on the second page choose 'Windsor' them the third page will allow you to vote for the bridge by giving it no 1 choice.
Thanks again for your support. We have achieved over 2012 signatres to date
Mike Moss

More details from petition creator
The ODA wish to build a temporary bridge from the west end of Windsor Racecourse to the North Bank of the Thames for the rowing event in 2012. We believe this should be a permanent bridge as a 2012 legacy in line with Government policy. This, linked with a smaller, new bridge from Sutherland Grange, will allow permanent access to the North Bank. We wish for RBWM Council to actively support this objective.
