About

Bray ward encompasses the historic riverside village of Bray, situated on the east bank of the River Thames in the unitary authority of Windsor and Maidenhead.

The area is known for its association with several high-profile restaurants situated within the village itself, drawing visitors for dining. Local governance is handled by the Bray Parish Council.
