Playground Services Ltd, installation contractor for Sutcliffe Play, is onsite today, 28th April, and the Play Area in Brackley Park is now closed for up to one month depending on the weather conditions.

Brackley Town Council is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with the National Trust and the younger children’s play equipment is being replaced.

The National Trust Archaeological Contractor is to undertake some excavation works on the site since there may be remains from the gardens of the Brackley Manor House which is now Winchester House School.

The Town Council hopes that the residents of Brackley will note the date of closure and look for more news concerning the official opening of the new play equipment in June.

A table top sale is being held at
Southfield School, Banbury Road, Brackley
on
Sunday 18th May
from 10 until 1pm in the school hall.

With less than 9 weeks left the sound of drills, hammers and colourful words can be heard through out the district. The reason for this additional noise is the building of Soapbox Karts for the Brackley Soapbox Derby.

Proved to be an enjoyable & spectacular event for both competitors and spectators alike. It consists of traditional and sometimes elaborate Soapbox carts careering madly down a hill in the middle of Brackley town centre powered only by a Ramp start & gravity. Thrills & Spills abound. Find out more by visiting Soapbox Derby section of the website

As a new councillor for the Town, I have had the opportunity to look with fresh eyes at what we, as a council, are doing to improve the facilities in the town for all age and interest groups. My primary concern was that there was no strategy in place for improvements in the town. This means that whilst there is a lot of good work being undertaken by many people and organisations, there is little in the way of direction and a lot of duplication of effort. I therefore proposed at a recent council meeting that we create a strategy for improving Brackley.

Whatever your concerns or ideas are, WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU, because without your input, ideas and enthusiasm we will not be able to make the changes we all want to see in the town. See further details in the January 08 edition of the Town Talk
