Residents and visitors are being invited to have their say in a survey on options for a walking, wheeling and cycling route between Thame and Haddenham, including connecting with Haddenham and Thame Parkway station.

Buckinghamshire Council and Oxfordshire County Council are sharing initial route options for feedback, with the survey open until Tuesday 24 November.

This engagement is being carried out jointly by the two councils. The survey is available on Oxfordshire County Council’s digital engagement platform, Let’s talk Oxfordshire, for people to share their feedback on the proposals. The survey closes at 11.59pm on Tuesday 24 November 2026.

There will be two drop-in events where members of the public can view the information in person and speak to project officers:

• Haddenham on Thursday 5 November 2026from3pm to 8pm, in the Conference Room at Haddenham Parish Council
• Thame on Saturday 14 November 2026 from 10am to 3pm, in the Upper Chamber at Thame Town Hall.

After the engagement period closes, the feedback will be reviewed alongside the technical evidence.  Oxfordshire County Council and Buckinghamshire Council will then make a joint decision on what happens next.  

As we count down to reopening, it's hard to believe just how much has been achieved in such a short space of time.

When work began, there was plenty to do. Rooms needed clearing, furniture needed repairing, walls needed repainting and the gardens needed bringing back to life. Since then, The Crown has undergone a remarkable transformation, thanks to the dedication of an incredible team of volunteers from across the village.

Over the past few months, volunteers have given many of hours of their time to prepare the pub for its next chapter. They have cleared years of accumulated clutter, repainted walls, refreshed the décor, reupholstered furniture, and restored outdoor spaces that will welcome visitors from the moment they arrive.

While the physical transformation is clear to see, what makes it even more special is the spirit behind it. We are overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, generosity and pride of people who wanted to see their local pub thrive once again and are happy to put in the hours to support it. 

The reopening of The Crown is the result of a community coming together with a shared vision and a willingness to roll up their sleeves to make it happen. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered their time, skills and energy. Your hard work has helped create a welcoming space that the whole village can be proud of.

This really is your community pub, and we can't wait to welcome everyone through the doors very soon.
