Robert Waller wrote

Bracknell, embracing the eponymous 'New Town' plus the super-rich residential communities, such as Sunningdale and Ascot, which litter this part of east Berkshire, became safe Conservative territory during the 1980s - Bracknell itself having being a Labour fiefdom before 1981. A vibrant local economy, with high-technology industries and many well-paid skilled and professional workers, suggests there is now no turning back from secure Conservative majorities.
