Climate change is no longer a future threat. Hotter summers, heavier rainfall and pressure on local services are already affecting Bracknell Forest. Liberal Democrats believe local government has a vital role in helping our communities cut emissions, protect nature and prepare for a changing climate.

We will deliver practical, evidence-led action that benefits residents today while safeguarding our borough for future generations.

Our Priorities

Cut Carbon and Save Money

• Improve energy efficiency across council buildings and services.
• Invest in renewable energy and low-carbon technologies where they offer value for money.
• Use council contracts and procurement to drive higher environmental standards.
• Share successful projects to help residents and businesses reduce costs and emissions.

Empower Communities

• Help residents lower energy bills through advice and support on home efficiency.
• Back community initiatives such as repair cafés, growing projects and reuse schemes.
• Work with local partners, schools and voluntary groups to deliver climate action together.
• Support young people to get involved in protecting the environment.

Protect Nature

• Improve green spaces, wildlife habitats and nature corridors.
• Support tree planting and local nature recovery projects.
• Give residents and community groups a stronger voice in shaping biodiversity initiatives.
• Ensure planning and transport decisions support nature recovery.

Prepare for Extreme Weather

• Support vulnerable residents during periods of extreme heat.
• Improve the resilience of homes, schools, care settings and local infrastructure.
• Strengthen flood prevention and drainage measures.
• Work to protect rivers and streams from pollution and sewage overflows.
