Records of Braddan Parish Commissioners: minutes of meetings of the Board

Bound minute books containing minutes of the Board of Braddan Parish Commissioners.

Public meetings of the Commissioners were held monthly. Minutes for these meetings can be found in the main sequence of minute books in S114/1. The minutes begin from the establishment of the Commissioners in 1894. The minute books from April 1913 to March 1934 are missing from the sequence and their whereabouts is unknown. The sequence of minutes of meetings of the Commissioners held in private begins in May 1986. The meetings typically discuss personal or sensitive matters that cannot be discussed in meetings attended by the public due to Data Protection legislation.
