Haddenham to Thame

We are continuing to work in partnership with Oxfordshire County Council to look into creating an active travel link connecting Haddenham and Thame.

Both councils have agreed to issue funding and resources towards the development of the scheme. To support this partnership working across boundaries, we are making arrangements to guide next steps and strengthen our commitment to the project.

Both authorities acknowledge that there is a local desire to see an active travel link between these settlements. We are also aware of the local support which has recently been shown through local activities such as a petition and cycling campaign event.

At the present time, a link connecting Haddenham-Thame is endorsed in both of our active travel network plans, providing cross-border policy support. However this is a complex project that needs further research and must follow decision-making processes.

We are working towards public engagement in 2026, which will provide more information and an opportunity for people to give feedback.
