New! We've now added a new facility which allows you to record your own views about Thatcham. Just phone our 24 hour answer line on
020 8133 3423 and record your views and ideas. Ideally we'd like to know your name, what you like best about Thatcham and what you'd most like to change - you might like to listen to some of the interviews below before calling. Where possible, we'll add your thoughts to this page. (The line is provided by Skype, the broadband telephony provider, which is why it isn't an 01635 number.)
