More Thame Culture, Leisure & Recreation snippets

THAME town council is considering several requests for memorial benches, including one in Southern Road Recreation area for a 16 year-old nursery worker and another for the late Mike Gibson, to be placed near Cox’s Wood, in the Cuttlebrook nature reserve.

Parts of Thame Town Council’s anti-flooding measures are to include flaying the nettles on one side of the Cuttlebrook in the reserve to allow access for dredging, removing some trees close to the water to prevent branches falling off into the water, clearing and then improving the slope down to the ditch behind the properties in Cedar Close that were flooded in June and asking the residents to stop forming their own paths from their gardens to Cuttlebrook which contributed to the flooding.

The Stones Close allotments (Windmill Road) are to ‘go modern,’ members paying for their allotments 11p per square metre, instead of by the Pole! The town council is to look at clearing backland to form more allotments as there is a waiting list.
