Lobbying your Forest Councillors

27th February 2020

To lobby your Councillors on a matter such as the Draft Plan or a Jealott’s Hill type of issue, it is usually best to write to them either C/O the Council Offices in Time Square, Bracknell or by email to their email address, which we have provided a link to here on the site. Save Jealott’s Hill Campaign also recommends that you meet with your Councillors in person to ask questions or express any concerns about the Draft Plan or Jealott’s Hill. To obtain a meeting, you can take one of the following courses of action, which are ranked in order of most effective to least likely to be effective. 1. Write and ask for an appointment to meet. 2. Check with your Parish Council Office for their monthly surgery date and make a request for the Councillor/s for your ward to be there. 3. Just turn up at the Parish Council monthly Surgery and ask your Parish Councillor to lobby the Councillor/s for your ward. The Bracknell Forest wards most likely to be affected by the Jealott’s Hill proposal include: Harvest Ride, with Warfield, and and Cranbourne. The contact details for each of these wards are listed below. You will also find details of monthly surgeries by Councillors where we have them, but we recommend you always double check beforehand with the Parish Council office, who are always unfailingly helpful, in our experience.

Warfield Parish Council Parish Council Office is located at the Tesco Store on County Lane in the arcade of shops beside the Supermarket.

The monthly surgery run by the Parish Council is held every month except August. The Surgery is held on 1st Saturday of the month between 10:00 and 12:00.

This is a Warfield Parish Council Surgery which is normally attended by one or some of the ward’s Bracknell Forest Councillors. If you want to make sure there is at least one Bracknell Forest Councillor in attendance, then it is best for you to call the Parish Council office and say you want to see one of the Councillors there.

Warfield Parish Council rejected the Jealott’s Hill proposal at its meeting on 2nd December 2019 and called on Bracknell Forest Council to remove the proposal from the plan. Predictably that request was ignored by the Bracknell Forest Councillors including the Warfield elected Councillors.
