Thame Toy Shop Gets Temporary Reprieve

IT has just been announced that the Pied Pedaller toy shop in Thame, can now stay until January 2008.
A statement issued by Oxfordshire County Council this afternoon states:
“Following discussions with the company running the Pied Pedaller shop in Thame, the council has offered to extend the lease on the premises until the beginning of January 2008.

This follows a request by the company, Toyzone, to be allowed to quit the tenancy later this month for commercial reasons rather than to stay until June as previously anticipated.

The Pied Pedaller has accepted our offer, which we have made so that there will be the minimum time possible between the shop being closed and work starting on the new building, subject to planning permission.

We want to ensure that it stands empty for as short a time as possible – and of course we are delighted to be able to facilitate the Pied Pedaller. It?s a win-win situation.”
