Have your say this weekend on Thame’s future

A spokesman for the town council said: “The purpose of the event is to find out in more detail what the issues are locally for Thame.

“To gather together the ideas people who live or work in the town have for what could be better and so that the team working on the plan can understand face to face what people think?

“The neighbourhood plan idea comes from new legislation proposed by the government to give communities more say in their area and the right to put together a plan for submission to the district council for approval following a public vote, or referendum.

“The details of what the government proposes for neighbourhood plans are still being finalised but Thame Town Council has decided to get a head start to ensure that a strong vision is developed for the future of Thame, in partnership with residents and businesses.
