Bracknell bus station will be demolished to make way for housing as part of huge redevelopment plans for the town centre.

Members of Bracknell Forest Council’s Cabinet voted for the masterplan to transform parts of the town centre with nearly 1,000 new homes, office spaces and shops at a meeting last night (Tuesday, October 15).

Council leaders said that they ‘acknowledge the anxiety’ of by residents over the plans, but that ‘as the town centre changes, so too must the bus station’.

Three areas of the town centre will be redeveloped as part of plans – with the most controversial being the existing bus station.
