Royal Borough stepping up fly tipping enforcement

The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead is stepping up its zero-tolerance crackdown on littering and fly tipping, with more than 2,750 fixed penalty notices issued since April 2025 - as part of the council’s drive to create a cleaner, greener and safer borough.

This comes as the council reiterates that dumping rubbish or dropping litter is a criminal offence, with offenders facing tougher penalties than ever. Fly tipping now carries a £500 fixed penalty, while the most serious cases can lead to court fines of up to £50,000.

Satisfaction with adult social care is on the rise

89.3% of service users are satisfied with their care and support according to the most recent Adult Social Care survey - placing the service above national averages and reflecting sustained progress over the past year.

This improvement follows a year of activity transforming and improving adult social care services in the borough – delivering on our commitment to improving services for residents and families.

FUEL – Easter Holiday club for families

With recent national changes to support for vulnerable households, it’s more important than ever for families to know what help is available.

FUEL is our Holiday Activity & Food (HAF) programme, funded by the Department for Education and delivered by Achieving for Children.

If your child receives benefit‑related free school meals, they can enjoy free holiday club places this Easter, summer and Christmas — including a nutritious lunch each day.

Find out more about FUEL and other local financial support available on the Here to Help hub.
