Bracknell

Environment problems are key concerns for Bracknell Bullbrook residents along with anti-social behaviour and speeding, it was revealed on Monday.

The neighbourhood forum meeting - a new style of meeting where the police, Bracknell council and health staff can discuss problems with residents - was attended by more than 40 people.

Residents were asked to write their biggest concerns on Post-it notes which are now being used by police and Bracknell Forest Borough Council to draw up a battle plan.

By the end of the meeting, 28 people had put up a note complaining about problems ranging from litter to dumped shopping trolleys.

Speeding was raised by 23 people while Bracknell anti-social behaviour was mentioned by 21.

Parking was the last major worry, with 18 people telling the police where cars were left illegally.

Other concerns included Bracknell over-development, health and the possible closure of the post office.

Inspector John Lloyd said: "It is pretty clear straight away that the issues highlighted by yourselves are coming out around the borough.

"There are some issues we can deal with straight away, others we will look at over the next six months."
