Bracknell Forest Partnership - Community TV
ListenCommunity TV was launched in October 2008 and aims to take public information messages into places where people congregate. These can be general messages such as health promotion and crime prevention or more immediate alerts such as a missing person. Ten Community TV screens have been installed at strategic locations around the borough. These locations were specially chosen to give a good geographical spread, range of audience and high footfall and the full list of these locations is as follows:
- Bracknell and Wokingham College
- Bracknell Sports and Leisure Centre
- Edgbarrow Sports Centre (Crowthorne)
- Gainsborough GP Practice (Warfield)
- Morrisons Supermarket Café
- Sandhurst GP Practice
- Skimped Hill Health Centre
- Waterstones Bookshop Santa Fé Café
- Waterfield GP Surgery, Harmans Water
- Wyvale Garden Centre Café (Binfield)
Similar schemes have been working elsewhere in the country with great success and we are excited by its potential in Bracknell Forest. The project is a venture of Bracknell Forest Partnership and is jointly funded and managed by the Council, Police, Fire Service, Primary Care Trust, Bracknell Regeneration Partnership and Bracknell Forest Voluntary Action. Community TV is run on an annual contract, and if you are interested in contributing funding to this scheme and supporting this innovation in Bracknell, please contact Claire Sharp on 01344 352203 or email claire.sharp@bracknell-forest.gov.uk
Local films are produced for Bracknell Forest TV four times a year and the topics are selected to support the work of the Bracknell Forest Partnership and in particular to support the Partnership’s 35 key three year targets, as set out in Bracknell Forest’s Local Area Agreement. This content is agreed by the Bracknell Forest Partnership Communications Working Group.
To find out how to suggest content for inclusion on Community TV read the ‘single slide policy’ and ‘filming policy’ for the relevant contact details.
