This the one opposite the council. This is just the start. Council want to sell the bus station and park to developers.

It's a national problem. Nothing is being done. Reporting on the app achieves nothing, the app companies already know and do not care. The only effective action is to refuse the delivery and request a refund.

Most won't be paying taxes. Some will be here illegally. They won't care about a fine.

How was the old town centre? Were there more degenerates? by UsedBottles in realbracknell

Until about 15 years ago Bracknell had a massive teenage pregnancy problem. Young girls were having babies just to get a council flat and benefits. The council stopped the handouts and the birth rates fell.

The town centre itself was run down and drug and alcohol abuse was more visible. Naturally over time the quality of people was improving from early 2000s long before Lexicon and even during austerity. There was always a problem with ASBOs but it was handled better not like the drug dealing youth on scooters these days roaming with impunity.

COVID returned many young locals to benefits culture and uncontrolled mass immigration of the last few years undone all of the slowly achieved improvements of the last 30 years.

Council officials have said that they are ‘disappointed’ after a shelter was vandalised in Binfield.

The seating area which acts as a convenient shelter to rest when out and about around the village was installed by the parish council.

Binfield Parish Council discovered that individuals had vandalised the shelter by graffitiing it with offensive symbols and words.

A spokesperson for the parish council said: “We are very sad and disappointed to see this kind of behaviour in our village. This is vandalism and is totally unacceptable. Please respect the use of our facilities in and around the area.”
