Support for Costa Coffee

Dear Editor, I am rather surprised at the rejection of the Costa Coffee Application.

Do Thame Businesses and Thame First not realise that to generate business in Thame, what we offer at the moment is not good enough for potential visitors from peripheral areas to Thame?

It is the Chain Stores & multiples that attract these clients to Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Bicester and Oxford.

I strongly believe that it is short-sightedness from the Town Council and if you are using the argument that there are too many Coffee shops in Thame, what about too many Hairdressing Salons, as I understand yet another one is opening in Buttermarket!!

Yours sincerely
Jenny & Brian Hamilton
