Over the previous years Windsor has become more interesting to a more diverse group of people, whether tourist, leisure or business visitor, with attractions from Legoland to the Castle, there is much for everyone - and now more than ever it is a wonderful and exciting town to visit.

We will try to give you all the information you require to fully enjoy a short or long, leisure or business trip to Windsor.

Windsor is in a fight with the local Fire Authority which wants to reduce the cover of the local fire station from 24 hour cover to 8am to 8pm covered only. This is a continuing campaign and the local Fire Brigade Union representative, Mick Rowley, has vowed to continue the pressure to keep the fire station open 24 hours. Visit the campaign web site www.windsorfirestation.co.uk and show your support.

All enclosed public places and workplaces became smoke free from 1st July 2007. To some this was a nightmare, but to most people this was a wonderful event. At last the non smokers can enjoy a trip down the pub without eyes watering and clothes smelling of a dirty ashtray. Guess which side of the fence I'm on! If the news from Ireland (which banned smoking some time ago) is anything to go by, we can expect an immediate withdrawal of the smokers from pubs, but a steady inflow over time of non smokers as they slowly realise the changes. Overall I think we can expect a gain in business for all pubs.
