750th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS IN BRACKLEY
In 1260 Brackley was granted its first charter of borough status and many people in the town still remember the week of celebrations that took place in 1960 to commemorate the Septcentenary of this event.
2010 therefore marks the 750th anniversary and, to this end, there will be festivities in the Market Place on Saturday 10 April.
They will start at 11.00am with performances of Morris and country dancing by the Brackley Morris Men. Public participation may well be sought. There will also be some side stalls where local organisations will offer activities; a Punch and Judy show; jugglers; musical interludes.
Refreshments will be available inside the Town Hall as well as at the town's many food and drink outlets.
A few items have still to be finalised but further details may be obtained from Brackley Town Hall on 01280 702441.
Put the date in your diary and come along to celebrate with the Town Mayor and Councillors.
BRACKLEY MARKET , although a lot smaller than it was on the Upper Market Place, still has a variety of stalls with good quality merchandise and friendly traders you can trust.
We have room for a few more traders so if you sell anything different to the above contact the Town Council on 01280 702441.
It is important a market keeps its regular traders so customers know that, should there be any problems or faults with goods, the trader will be back next week. On the other hand the traders need to know that the customers will be back!!!!!!!! PLEASE SUPPORT THEM

THE PUBLICATION SCHEME
The Information Commissioner's Office has now developed and approved a new model publication scheme which can be adopted by town/parish and community councils. Brackley Town Council has adopted the new model scheme which will be operational from 1 January 2009. For the avoidance of doubt the new Model Scheme is generic in nature (i.e. it is for all public authorities irrespective of them being a local authority) and is not sector specific.
The model scheme is also available on the Information Commissioners website at www.ico.gov.uk - the easiest way of locating it is to click on Publication Schemes under the A-Z listing.
