Council to vote on station plan

Voting is set to take place next week to decide whether to demolish a Berkshire bus station and replace it with housing.

The controversial proposal, which is part of Bracknell Forest Council’s plan to regenerate the town centre, would see the station replaced with a market square as well as shops, offices, and 600 flats.

Residents in Bracknell have warned that the loss of a central hub for buses would make bus travel less accessible.

Following consultation feedback, however, the authority promised an ‘attractive and accessible’ bus system.
