Social care, waste and recycling collections and road maintenance will all be included in the frontline cash boost, while the council has also outlined financial support for several major projects due to start next year in its budget plans for 2015/16.

These include: - Up to £13m for transport and environment improvements to Bracknell town centre in order to support the regeneration works - £39m to support the creation of the controversial learning village in Binfield, replacing Blue Mountain Golf and Conference Centre - Investment in school places and maintenance which, dependent on Government funding, could be more than £5m - £1.3m to create a community centre and library at Harmans Water neighbourhood centre in The Square - £150,000 worth of maintenance works at Bracknell Leisure Centre, Easthampstead Park Conference Centre, Downshire Golf Complex and The Look Out - £11.3m for the refurbishment of Coral Reef Waterworld Cllr Alan Ward, executive member for transformation and finance, said: “The headline is that there will not be an increase in council tax for the fifth year in a row. However, we are also allocating £13m for transport and the roads in the borough.

“What we have promised the residents of the borough is the regeneration of the town centre and we have to play our part in delivering that.” Despite no formal planning applications being submitted for the controversial learning village in Binfield – which includes a primary and secondary school, a special needs unit and 400 homes – it has been included in the proposals.

The plans for the village have been the subject of several protests outside the golf club and a 2,200-strong petition, ever since councillors voted to remove a covenant on the site which had prevented them from building on the land. However, Cllr Ward said he anticipated a planning application would be submitted around August next year following the closure of the Blue Mountain golf complex in April.

The council also anticipates to make £2.416m worth of savings from its revenue budget proposals for 2015/16. The biggest saving is £813,000 from the environment, culture and communities sector, where nearly £500,000 is hoped to saved through the re-tendering of contracts for street cleansing, landscape and highways.

In the children, young people and learning sector, £285,000 is anticipated to be saved due to an increase in the number of children in the borough being adopted and therefore outside of the care system.

A further £367,000 is predicted to be saved in the adult social care, health and housing division through extra supported living arrangements for residents with learning disabilities and further funding from the NHS.

Cllr Ward added: “This budget is very much about investing in the long-term future of the borough, as well as increasing efficiencies.” The council’s executive will discuss the budget proposals at a meeting on Tuesday next week. If the proposals are agreed as expected, a consultation will run for six weeks from Wednesday, December 17, to Wednesday, January 28.
