ABINGDON will now be called Abingdon-on-Thames after councillors voted to bring back the name in a bid to attract more visitors to the town.
Vale of White Horse District Council approved the plans last night after Abingdon Town Council called for the name change.
Twenty-two councillors voted for the move, 19 abstained, and four voted against.
