Abingdon name change

Released on January 20, 2012

Vale of White Horse District Council is to consider a request from Abingdon Town Council to change the name of the parish of Abingdon to Abingdon-on-Thames when councillors meet on Wednesday 22 February 2012.

The Local Government Act 1972 enables the district council to change the name of a parish where a request has been made by a parish council.

Members of the public are invited to submit their views on this proposal in advance of the meeting.
