With support from Helen Johns and other members of 21st Century Thame and the town council, Linda was encouraging everyone who passed the market’s Community stall to take a leaflet and a ‘Vote 4 Thame’ badge, and urging them to vote for both Thame in the Small Market Town category, and for Chris Hurdman, who is shortlisted in the top three, Market Retail Champion category.

The market was buzzing with families and visitors of all ages as it is half-term, and free face-painting was available for the children who were encouraged to ‘wear your badge with pride’ by the Mayor. Felicity Walker from That’s Oxford TV, interviewed the Mayor, and Helen Johns, for broadcasting later in the week. Watch this space for details.
