Market Towns Initiative (MTI) & Healthcheck
In early 2003, Thame Town Council applied to the Countryside Agency for Market Town Initiative funding for a Healthcheck. This would offer an excellent opportunity to update the good work of the earlier Community Plan (2000) and to involve the whole community in influencing the future of the town. At the same time, Princes Risborough Town Council was also applying for funding. As the two towns were near to each other and on county borders, the Countryside Agency awarded joint funding for what was planned to be a combined Market Towns Initiative. Thame Town Council would work in partnership with South Oxfordshire District Council and Oxfordshire County Council; Princes Risborough Town Council would work with Wycombe District Council and Bucks County Council.
