Thame4Business is organising a lunchtime networking meeting that will allow local businesses to learn more about the consultation on the Thame Neighbourhood Plan. Sue Rowlands, Director of Tibbalds Planning and Urban Design Ltd, who are carrying out the consultation on behalf of Thame Town Council, will provide an overview of the process and explain how Thame businesses can contribute to it. Local business-owner Alun Rowe, who has been involved in some of the consultation workshops, will provide an insight into his experiences.
The Thame Neighbourhood Plan will be developed over the autumn of 2011 and spring of 2012 with the aim of developing a robust and deliverable plan for the future development of the historic market town of Thame.
The lunchtime meeting will take place in the James Figg Free House in Thame on November 30th, from 12:30 – 14:00. There is no charge to attend the event. Attendees can purchase their lunch and enjoy a relaxed, informal atmosphere. The event will also provide an opportunity to meet other members of the Thame4Business group.
