Your practical route

What to do next in Windsor and Maidenhead

The correct order matters: do not buy a channel or arrange pavement work before the authority confirms the route.

  1. Read the policy with its dateEV04 in the February 2023 plan addresses cable, cover and gully concerns. Ask whether newer adopted household guidance has replaced it.
  2. Keep public suggestions separateThe council’s current map hub gathers public charging location suggestions. A map pin is not a household channel application or guaranteed installation.
  3. Request current written instructionsConfirm any permitted equipment, site assessment, fees and ongoing responsibilities before commissioning a private route.
  4. Check public parking conditionsUse live operator maps and prices, with current bay signs and permit rules. A past consultation or proposed location does not prove a charger is operating.

  • Public map suggestions do not approve private works

Does the council’s charging map apply for a household channel?

No. It gathers shared public charging suggestions. Ask for current household highway instructions rather than treating a public map pin as consent.
