More than £1,100 raised by a town mayor four years ago to help children in Albania is still sitting in a Thame bank.
The charity it was raised for - Care Albania - now no longer operates.
Former Thame mayor Mike Le Mesurier organised a special charity event to raise money for that specific charity. Now he is trying to get the Charity Commissioners to allow it to be transferred to a different organisation helping in Albania.
He said it was a shame the wrangling had gone on so long, but he is determined the money will get to Albania.
No-one at the Charity Commissioners would comment on the situation.
Town council finance committee chairman Paul Gleeson said: "It is not something we can interfere in. But we hope the money can be released soon from our bank where it has been sitting for four years."
