THAME’S newly selected Deputy Mayor, local publican and Brewer, Peter Lambert, has been talking about why he was persuaded to accept the role.
He told ThameNews.Net today: ?I have been in Thame for three years now (I was only coming for four weeks initially!) and I immediately found it to be a warm and welcoming town. Running a pub in the town means that I get to hear the views and concerns of residents, so I find that I?m very well informed.
“I?m really happy to have achieved this level of involvement in the community within such a short time.
“I put myself forward as Deputy Mayor because I am particularly interested in the Neighbourhood Plan – a crucial part of making sure that Thame residents make decisions for their town, rather than the District Council – and I thought it would be a good way to show my commitment to the community. Thame has a lot to offer and I don?t want to see it changed by people who don?t seem to have its best interests at heart.?
