Reports from Members round the table
Minutes:
Councillor Brossard mentioned that planning permission had been given for Lapland UK to operate at Swinley Forest and last year’s event had been successful. A new planning application had been submitted this year for Lapland UK and new times had been requested to operate throughout the day, so that there was not a closure period between 1pm and 3.30pm. Lapland UK had been good for the economy in 2013 with hotel bookings and jobs created. The traffic congestion had been well managed last year.
Peter Radband asked about unmanned railway crossings in the borough. Richard Walton and Dan Carpenter were due to have a site visit with Network Rail and could ask them for a contact regarding this. Rose Wicks would provide Peter with information from the last Annual LAF conference where Network Rail gave a talk on rail crossings.

Sharon Holt mentioned Warfield Bridleway 25 and queried whether Ascot Road to Jealotts Hill was owned by Syngenta or Bracknell Forest Council. Sharon suggested that this be upgraded to permissive access and this would be queried with Syngenta.
