Purpose:

Introduction and context for the Bracknell Forest Economic Strategy

Decision:

That the draft Bracknell Forest Economic Strategy 2024-2034 is agreed for public consultation as detailed in paragraphs 5.19-5.21 of the Executive Director of Place, Planning & Regeneration’s report.

Reasons for the decision:

To enable a public consultation process seeking the views of residents, businesses,

and partner organisations on the strategy and the proposed action plan.

Alternative options considered:

The alternative option is to rely entirely on external polices and strategies to help

guide and shape the future support for our local economy. This approach would not

focus specifically on the needs of Bracknell Forest’s residents and businesses and

may reduce the opportunities to achieve the council’s objectives.
