The Crown Estate will take over the management of Windsor’s Home Park after ‘decades of neglect’ and ‘underinvestment’ so residents can continue to enjoy the space. Home Park is home to sports clubs such as Datchet Cricket Club, Windsor Rugby Club and the Windsor Forest Bowmen archery club. The Crown Estate will take over the site’s management – including the car parks – from April 1. Paul Sedgwick, the deputy ranger of Windsor Great Park and an executive director of the Crown Estate, explained that the question of whether the Crown Estate ‘should, could or indeed would terminate the licences’ is ‘the wrong question to be asking’. “The Crown Estate would like to take forward this generational opportunity to create a lasting legacy for the residents of Windsor and the users of Home Park.”
