MP intervenes over Jennett’s Park shop
MP for Bracknell, Dr Phillip Lee has intervened to ensure that work resumes on the shop in Jennett's Park. Work began on the convenience store in December 2015, but was halted due to an alleged title dispute between Redrow Homes and Persimmon Homes. Dr Lee has taken the issue up, saying: “The shop was given the go-ahead nearly two years ago, so it is quite ludicrous that residents are still waiting for this to be finished. My office has urgently contacted the two developers and asked for a full update on the situation. I am working to establish the cause of the halt in construction and will do my utmost to help broker a resolution”.

Bracknell MP Dr Phillip Lee has stepped into the ring about the "quite ludicrous" lack of progress on the shop in Jennett's Park.

Dr Lee has decided to take urgent action to ensure the work to complete the shop is resumed after being made aware of the situation by Great Hollands North ward Councillor Peter Hill.

The long-awaited convenience shop in Jennett's Park looked set to finally arrive when work began in December 2015.

However, progress then ground to a halt thanks to an alleged title dispute between The Consortium partners Redrow Homes and Persimmon Homes.

Dr Lee has taken the issue up with the two developers and issued the following statement:

“I am extremely disappointed to learn of the latest stumbling block in the work to complete the community shop at Jennett’s Park.

"The shop was given the go-ahead nearly two years ago, so it is quite ludicrous that residents are still waiting for this to be finished.

"On hearing the news my office has urgently contacted the two developers and asked for a full update on the situation.

"I am working to establish the cause of the halt in construction and will do my utmost to help broker a resolution.”
