Thame’s news in brief

Future Electric Charging Points in Thame High Street? – THAME Town Council has been looking at details of a Government announcement about funding to provide electric charging points on High Streets. However, it has become apparent that getting the funding isn’t as straightforward, as a lot of changes would have to be made to the layout of parking bays, which would need to be carried out with Oxfordshire County Council as the Highways authority, and with the district council; a possible facility to be included in a future ‘Green Plan’ being worked on by the Thame Neighbourhood Plan Continuity Committee.

Currently, the nearest charging point for electric vehicles is at Haddenham and Thame Parkway Station.
