Future support for Cattlemarket move, cycling, dog fouling & rural buses?

MOVING Thame’s Cattlemarket, cycle routes, dog fouling and supporting rural bus routes will all be on the agenda for South Oxfordshire District Council’s next Council meeting on Thursday, April 14.

The following policies relevant to Thame will come up for discussion as part of the agenda item on the council’s Corporate Plan 2016 – 2020:

Support the Thame Farmers Auction Mart to relocate to an alternative site within the district thereby freeing up the Thame cattle market site for redevelopment.

Work with Sustrans to improve provision of cycle routes in the district & Piloting the introduction of a cycle hire scheme in one of our market towns.

Support rural communities with maintaining their transport links by working with bus operators to look at options to continue some of the bus services previously supported directly by Oxfordshire County Council.

Create two parish and town forums a year so that parishes can be a part of the District’s work.

Implement the issuing of Fixed Penalty Noticess for dog fouling and litter by the council’s environmental wardens in Henley, Wallingford, Watlington, Thame and Didcot town centres.

The Council meeting will be held on Thursday, April 14, 2016, at 6pm, at The Fountain Conference Centre, Howbery Park, Crowmarsh Gifford. Full details of agenda: LINK
