This proposed borough includes the town of Slough, currently a unitary authority in Berkshire, as well as substantial parts of the current South Bucks district (in the county of Buckinghamshire aka Bucks). The district lies on the western border of the M25 and where the M25 joins the M4. Due to the loss of the most populous parts of the South Bucks district to the new borough I propose that the remainder be merged with the neighbouring Chiltern district. The proposed borough includes the relatively deprived town of Slough as well as neighbouring villages which are amongst the most affluent in the country. I estimate the population of the proposed borough to be 170,000.
Towns and Villages included in the Borough:
Slough, Burnham, Stoke Poges, Farnham Royal, Iver, Wexham, Colnbrook with Poyle
Notable things about the area
The location of Pinewood studios.
Crossrail will pass through much of the borough.
Slough trading estate.
Like much of London Slough is an immigrant hotspot with a particular problem of sheds with beds.
Black Park (a rather tranquil country park).
