In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 9 (Public Participation), a question has been submitted by Mr T Cox, resident of Central Sandhurst as set out below:
“I would like to petition the council to do a proper review of 5G technology before proceeding with any more installations (e.g. Ringmead). There has been little to no real life testing done on 5G technology. There is no demand as far as I know from speaking to my friends and residents here in Bracknell Forest. Does the council have any evidence at all of the demand for a new and unsafe technology? This is a call for action as a matter of interest to the health and wellbeing of the community and would appreciate it being raised at the next meeting for action.” |

The Council asks the Executive to look to provide a Community Home within Bracknell Forest for some of our Bracknell Forest children who are awaiting foster parents, to avoid sending them to live outside the borough.
