Bracknell

Five residents’ pictures of Bracknell borough’s parks and countryside have been selected to go on display in Bracknell library following the Council’s parks photography competition.

The Bracknell Council’s parks and countryside service received more than 70 entries, many of which will be used to promote the borough’s open spaces in a new set of leaflets and on the Council’s website.

The five best images, plus one highly commended runner up, are on display in Bracknell Library until the end of June. The winning pictures were taken by Geoff Saunders, Jason Parnwell, Anna Roberts and Stuart Skelsey.

The best 16 will be part of an extended exhibition called Capturing Our Natural World in the community gallery at South Hill Park Arts Centre from November 29, until January 25.

The judges were Cllr Iain McCracken, Executive Member for Bracknell Leisure, Corporate Services and Public Protection; Sally Coulson, the parks and countryside service’s Projects Officer; and Outi Remes, South Hill Park Arts Centre’s Arts and Exhibition Officer.

Cllr McCracken said: "We were sent so many superb pictures of Bracknell Forest’s parks and open spaces, we were spoilt for choice about which pictures could go on display.

"I would like to thank everyone who submitted a picture, many of which we will use to promote our wonderful open spaces.”
