10/12/10……Site F – Best for whom?

Dear Editor, (SODC Cllr) Angie Paterson in the local press stated that stated: ?the council?s decision to approve the core Strategy (site F as the site for 530 new homes to be built in Thame) is a step in the right direction.?

For whom is this the right step I wonder? Many of the residents in Thame do not agree and think this is a very ill-founded and short sighted decision. Site F is the only possible place in Thame where Lord Williams?s school could be built as a one-site school and should be reserved for this purpose alone.

The current proposed reserved plot for a lower School on site F is not be large enough. Thame Town Council and most of the residents of Thame would prefer the new homes to be spread around the proposed sites in Thame to avoid large housing estates and congested roads. It seems good town planning does not exist as no one is prepared to pay for it!
