Police Action On Abandoned Cars



I want to commend the police action on Thursday 22 May in the Birch Hill area. It resulted in many cars being taken off our roads that were either not roadworthy, uninsured or not displaying a road fund licence. Cars that are dangerous can cause accidents to innocent people. Where a driver is uninsured, other careful motorists can suffer whilst the rest of us pay more for our already expensive insurance. Tax evasion is a disgrace and a burden to all other citizens who have to pay more to compensate.

The police have a very difficult and often dangerous job and, for reasons that I don't understand, their paperwork is horrendous. We need to give our full support to the local police force at all times.

ALDI In Bracknell



In Birch Hill the use of the local shops and amenities has dropped since the Waitrose supermarket closed last year. Several months ago the ALDI supermarket group took over the site from Waitrose but still the store remains vacant. Now ALDI have submitted a planning application for the new shop front that will obviously be necessary. I urge Bracknell Council to process this application with utmost speed so that Birch Hill in particular and Bracknell in general can benefit from this additional local shop.
