LocalView provides relevant Bracknell information for where you live

LocalView provides relevant Bracknell information for where you live

A new feature on the Bracknell Forest Borough Council website can give you detailed local information on local services at the touch of a button.

By simply entering your house number and address or postcode, Bracknell LocalView can tell you about:

• What day refuse and recycling is collected, and which bin to put out for emptying.

• Who your borough councillors are.

• Details of the nearest leisure facilities.

• Information on other local services and amenities including doctors, cinemas and transport links.

The system, accessible through the council's website under Where You Live, uses sophisticated mapping technology - known as Geographic Information Systems - to find relevant information localised to your road or house.

Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Bracknell Leisure and Corporate Services, said: LocalView is a one stop shop for Bracknell Forest residents to find out important information tailored exactly to where they live.

To find anything from the local recycling site, to the nearest library, just log on to LocalView and follow the instructions.”
