No plans for Bracknell council election delays

Bracknell Forest Council has said it has no plans to delay its borough council elections.

In a statement, it said: “This is in line with the usual cycle of four-yearly ‘all-out’ elections in the borough.

“There is no planned delay or postponement of these elections.

“Some local authorities are looking at whether elections in May 2026 should proceed as planned as part of the local government reorganisation process to become unitary councils.

“Bracknell Forest Council is already a unitary council. There are no elections planned for the borough in May 2026, so there is no need to postpone or change planned elections due to re-organisation.

“The council is part of a wider discussion around creating a Thames Valley Mayoral Strategic Authority with other Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Swindon councils.
