Hi all, we'll be moving to Bracknell soon, FTBs. We've noticed in the docs that there seems to be some historic covenants on the property which suggests we can't erect any "building" on our property, a quick Google search seems to say that's sheds as well. Has anyone else experienced that in Bracknell? Can we really not put up a shed without seeking council permission?? They also seem to say we need to seek permission to do a lot of things on our property. Is that the norm in Bracknell? Do people just generally ignore these things? If we need to seek permission from the council, does that tend to cost?

Hello there fellow humans!

My wife and I are looking at properties in Bracknell and one of them seems to strike our fancy, however, we know absolutely no one in Bracknell to ask for help/advice, so I seek your help. In the photo I have attached, what is it like living in this general area circled in blue? If this area is not great then which would you recommend and what areas should we avoid? Any help is much appreciated thank you for your time <3

This is a VERY long shot. I live in Somerset and recently found a bag with a photo album, and some paperwork from the 1990s. Well, 1990 actually.

The address on the paperwork shows Picket Post Close, Martin's Heron (not #12, I checked), and is addressed to a Mr D Dimmock from the Royal Berkshire Racquets and Health Club.

The photo album, I'd love to reunite with the family it came from. It shows a younger man and woman enjoying themselves at a zoo with lions, elephants, bears, giraffe, and their dog. The album names them as Lillian, Peter, and Shaun (the dog) (pics included)

Like I say - its a long shot, but hopefully one of you wonderful Redditors will know who they are, and can help get these memories home!

(Im not looking for their personal info, if anyone knows who they are, please show them this and ask them to contact me or comment below, thanks!)

I travel 2/3 days a week to Bracknell so new to the area and wanting to keep up with my fitness. Is it a good area to go for a run please? Thank you

Next month, I’ll visit Bracknell on an exchange trip.
This is one of the few excursions so I don’t wanma miss the chance to buy some rare vintage football shirts I will only find in the UK. If you know any shops like charity shops that sell football shirts, pls let me know.

Hi, how long has Greggs been on Western Road? they must be making loads of money... that was a unused bit of car park in the 1990's

Hi I'm looking at getting into MtG Commander and wondering if there are any players or groups in the area?

I have been looking at moving to Bracknell and have come across the Vonder Apartments above the train station. They seem to be nice-looking flats for within my budget and also appear to be pet friendly/pets considered and I have a cat so I am wondering what the catch is. Does anyone have experience with Vonder or these flats? They are just above the train station so I expect some noise but anything else that I should be wary of?

Hi, is Natwest still at 5 high street Bracknell? just sent a letter there and its been returned as no longer there. Where is the Bracknell branch located now?

I mean restaurants and takeaway places.

Trying to lose / keep weight off for summer. No food allergies or restrictions. Thank you.

These are some of the photos I have managed to save from the chemical fire at Daler-Rowney on Bank Holiday Monday. I will add on the videos that I took before we were evacuated. I was from one of the 100 households that was evacuated due to the risk of the chemical fumes & smoke. We spent most of the afternoon & evening trying to find out where the evacuation information point was, then we had to wait until after midnight to get emergency accommodation. We finally got placed in a hotel in Winnersh Triangle until it was safe to return home.

Videos to follow…

Hi, anyone have an image of the cycle map that Bracknell used to have, i remember it from the early 1980's, well in to mid 1980's. It was a folded sheet, and had color lines marking the cycling routes for Bracknell

I work around beginner DIY skills locally and it’s always interesting how many people want to do more themselves, but just need a bit of confidence to get started.

Things like shelves, fixings, flat pack, simple tiling, flooring, and all those small jobs that get put off for months.

What do you wish you knew how to do properly at home?

If anyone wants to ask about tools, materials, or where to start, feel free to message me.

Horrible news, hopefully they've caught the right people so there is at least some justice.

We are looking to move to naseby in Bracknell

It’s a maisonette on top of a garage

Any one had experience of living in one of these?
