Haddenham to Thame

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

Both authorities have committed funding and resources towards the development of the scheme. To support this partnership working across local authority boundaries, we are making necessary arrangements to guide next steps and strengthen our commitment to the project.

Both authorities acknowledge that there is a longstanding local desire to see an active travel link achieved between these settlements, and we are 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 respective county-wide active travel network plans, providing cross-border policy support, however this is a complex project that requires further investigative work and must follow appropriate decision-making process.

We are working towards carrying out public engagement in 2026, which will provide further information and an opportunity for interested parties to give feedback.
