Thame streets benefit from continuing streetlighting improvement work

Abingdon, Benson, Drayton & Thame streets are going to benefit from continuing streetlighting improvement work.

Oxfordshire County Council’s £3.8m programme to improve 3,200 streetlights in the county continues in southern Oxfordshire from September 25.

The streetlights are being replaced with new steel columns and higher quality LED light solution which also reduces energy and future on-going maintenance requirements.

The streets where work is scheduled to take place from Monday, September 25 are in Abingdon, Benson, Drayton, St Helen Without and Thame.

You are warmly invited to attend Death Cafe in Thame. at 7:30pm in room 1 of the Barns Centre, and held on the third Thursday of each month thereafter A Death Cafe is an informal gathering where people can discuss death over tea and cake.
