Improvement works at Brackley Road Cemetery
To complete Towcester Town Council’s programme of improvement works for the Garden of Rest, the central beds will be replanted with a new scheme during week commencing 7th April 2025. To prepare for this work, the Council respectfully requests that all commemorative items are removed from within the central beds until the works have been completed. Those which remain at the start of the works will be carefully placed on the associated memorial stone. Please note that Items which have been planted within the central beds without the consent of the Town Council will also need to be removed to facilitate planting of the new scheme. The Council greatly appreciates your co-operation with its aim to make this area of the Cemetery a far more welcoming and pleasant place to visit for everyone. Thank you.
