Yesterday in Parliament I called on the government to support the delivery of the Thame to Haddenham Greenway.
I urged the Minister to consider issuing guidance to support councils in using Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPOs) for active travel projects, sadly the Minister declined to comment.
It was the last full council today for this 4 year term and here are some of us in the chamber.
I wish all those councillors who have decided not to stand again all the best for the future, and good luck to all those that are attempting to give it another go π
Last full council of this term
I popped into the Repair Cafe today in Thame which operates every month at the Scout Hut - and thereβs cake π°

Great response in Thame this week
Rumseyβs in Thame appeared on BBC South recently about the soaring costs of chocolate and how tough it is for their business at the moment.
Rumseyβs is such a great asset to Thame High Street so please support them is you can - the chocolate is pretty good too π«

The last bank in Thame closed this week and I fully support the townβs need for a banking hub rather than an Automated Deposit Service!
Last week I spoke at a Westminster Hall debate about fuel poverty
Thank you for your support too ππ
Good news for Thame: funding secured for next step in Thame-Haddenham Greenway. Congratulations to Cllr Kate Gregory for hard work in making this happen

πΈ After over 8 hours at Full Council today, I am delighted to confirm that funding has been allocated to progress with the Haddenham and Thame Greenway - providing a vital link to the train station πΈ
LibDem Cllr Kate Gregory: βIβm disappointed this alternative budget has removed the HaddenhamβThame Greenway. It has huge support locally. I know Cllr Champken-Woods supports this project and he has been massively let down by his party.β (Thame is a two-member division, one currently Con, one LD.)
She also mentions the campaign for a new pedestrian and cycleway in her division: βThe Thame to Haddenham Greenway has been in the plan for 30 years now. I am delighted budget has been allocated for getting to the next stage.β
