I saw a campaigner filming this at our place with one of those quadcopters fitted with a camera. Pretty cool gadget.

Its OK for a pay and play but to be fair most courses would look good from that height! That said the greens at our place are very good at the moment considering the rain that we've had and they kept the course open throughout winter.
Apparently Bracknell Forest Council have granted a release of the Section 52 Agreement in relation to Blue Mountain Golf Course, despite just about everyone who responded to the consultation exercise disagreeing with this. One wonders what the purpose of a consultation exercise is, if the majority view point is ignored!!!

Ticks a box that has to be ticked.
Council quite at liberty to ignore replies.
Next step is appeals/Courts etc.
Some decisions I've known BFC to make have been bizarre!
Copy of their decision. Note the word 'democratic' in the link!

I live very near Bearwood golf course- that has had the entrance blocked up this week. Don't know how long it will remain dormant until Reading FCs construction bulldozers move in
Another nice little course bites the dust

Has any sort of legal appeal been launched against Bracknell Forest Council's decision to scrap a section 52 Planning Agreement? If so, how can I support it?
