MORE than £1 million will be spent on community facilities in Binfield.

The money will come from Taylor Wimpey, after planning agreement was made for its 54-home Coppid View development in the area.

The money will be paid to Bracknell Forest Council to help improve facilities for residents.

More than £470,000 will go towards primary education in the area, more than £278,000 towards sustainable green spaces, £148,500 for improvements to community facilities and £148,500 for open space dedicated to sports and physical activity.

The remaining contributions fund biodiversity and wildlife projects.

Gemma Bibby, sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey West London said: “Our new development in Binfield is really coming along nicely, and it’s a credit to our fantastic site team that we are progressing so well.

“With any new development it’s important that we not only provide quality new homes and on-site infrastructure, but also do our bit to improve existing facilities such as schools and green space.”

Ms Bibby said that she hopes the community will enjoy the new and improved facilities.
