Financial Impact: There is no financial impact to Bracknell Forest Council. The proposal is to use Section 106 funding reserved for enhancements to facilities at Ennerdale Playing Field. All play equipment will be made from steel for longevity, when compared to timber. The new facilities will be maintained by Bracknell Town Council within normal working hours. Some contingency funding will be reserved for minor repairs.
