Bracknell

Residents across Bracknell borough are urged to give their views about the Council’s plans to promote race equality over the next three years.

The draft of Bracknell Forest’s new race equality scheme has now been published and the Council is seeking comments about it.

Promoting equal opportunities for everyone who lives, works or uses services in the borough, acting in a fair and equitable manner and ensuring the Council meets individual needs appropriately are key concerns.

Significant progress has already been made under the previous race equality scheme and Bracknell Council hopes to continue to improve, ensuring people from different racial backgrounds have the same life opportunities, access to services and treatment.

The updated version of the race equality scheme aims to give a clear basis for how the Council’s values and commitment to equality will be put into action.

Cllr Alan Kendall, Executive Member for Community Cohension, said: “It is important that the Council works with local people to ensure the new scheme is a success, so your views are important to us.

"We want to ensure that the Council and its services are open and accessible to the entire community."
