Bracknell

Bracknell Forest residents now have access to a wealth of information about councillors, committees and decisions made at Bracknell Forest Borough Council through a new internet service.

The new system, called modern.gov, is available by logging onto www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk. It means that agendas and minutes for all Bracknell Council meetings can now be published to the web instantly. Internet users can also subscribe to email alerts about particular committees or items relating to a specific ward, they are interested in.

Peter Driver, Head of Democratic and Support Services at Bracknell Forest Borough Council, explained: “This new product makes it far easier to find out about members and their decisions at meetings and committees. There is an easy-to-use search facility covering all committee and executive decisions going back to 2001."

“Ultimately, the aim is to reduce the amount of paper copies circulated around the Council and elsewhere as people will find all they need on the website.”

Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Bracknell Leisure and Corporate Services, said: "This new service means that our residents can easily find out about which Council meetings are taking place, their agendas and the minutes subsequently taken. They can also find out about their local councillor and receive information by email."
