Mayor of Thame thanks ‘our lovely town’
The Mayor of Thame, Nichola Dixon, at her Civic Reception 2015
THE Mayor of Thame, Nichola Dixon, has praised the community after the success of her Civic Reception and Service last Sunday (see report).
She told Thame.Net: “I would just like to say a really big thank you to everyone that came along to the Civic Reception and Service on Sunday at the Barns Centre; it was lovely to be able to say ‘thank you’ to some of the people that make our community so amazing.
“It was a great chance for some of our community groups to meet and chat and support each other, which made the day really special for me. I also got to show my skydive DVD and reveal that the jump has raised a whopping £2,000 which is a fantastic start to the fundraising efforts for Thame and District Day Centre and the Thame to Thame, Nepal earthquake appeal. It also inspired some further fundraising discussions, so watch this space!
“I have to say a big thank you to Emma from St Mary’s church for a fabulous service which was aided by the Barley Hill choir who did a fantastic job. All in all it was a lovely day that did exactly what we set out to do, say a big THANK YOU to so many of our special people and reflect on our lovely town.”

I see. You need to contact the town council then. The number is: 01844 212833
Actually the town does employ people who pick up litter in Elms Park every morning. However the lane nearby is full of litter and more to the point the bin that used to be there is gone. Hardly teaching our schoolchildren very well.
The two awards are for the work done and being done to keep the town centre and the high street viable and vibrant. The odd dumper of furniture – rare in Thame that’s why it’s worthy of note – does not detract from that. And who are these ‘litter pickers’ you refer to? The band of willing volunteers who step forward on Thame tidy Day? Hopefully you will join them next year, as you seem so concerned. We would welcome your help.
It is all very well praising our lovely town and entering competitions etc but the sofa left in the middle of Elms Park this week didn’t quite give the right impression. Happily it has been cleared away. HOWEVER the rest of the three piece suite is just left nearby and the Elms Road to John Hampden School Alley is chock full of litter and the unwanted contents of children’s lunch boxes. I think the litter puckers need to extend their area!
