Bracknell Council Leader: Tackling Racial Inequality and Building a Fairer Future

Hey, it’s February. The council is doing Race Equality Week. It’s about fighting racial inequality at work. They want a welcoming place where everyone can succeed.

They want action, not just nice words. They will find and fix things that block equality. They aim to build a culture of respect for all.

Racism can be subtle or obvious. It can hinder careers.

We must actively stop injustice when we see it. Small actions can make a real difference.

The council adopts this approach now. They encourage other groups to do it too. They strive for fairness in Bracknell Forest.

They also focus on finances. This helps them provide key services you need. They face money problems like other councils. Costs are up, and funding is down.

They plan the budget each year. It balances needs with money limits.

The revenue budget covers daily things like waste. It pays for social care, libraries, and such. It relies on taxes and government help.

Capital budget aids roads and other big projects.

The budget survey recently finished. They thank everyone who participated. They are reviewing all the responses carefully. They include these in a report February 11th. Cabinet will suggest a budget to the full council February 26th.

Working together is very important. This applies to both equality and budget issues. Real progress needs listening, learning, and action.

Have a great week!
