For the latest news on this Liveable Neighbourhood, please read the following statement by Cllr Kevin Guy, Leader of the Council.
Our intention was to engage the community on preliminary designs for this area in spring 2025. The measures to be included in the design were summarised at a high level in the final business case (FBC) for the programme including a bus gate on Camden Road, a series of one-ways, and a through-traffic restriction to help reduce traffic volumes in residential areas.
Following the statement by Cllr Kevin Guy, we will not progress these plans. For background on the FBC, please read the press release from 12 October 2024.
We are aware that a number of questions have been submitted to the council about the Bath Walking, Wheeling and Cycling Links (BWWCL) project following the end of the public consultation. The BWWCL team is currently reviewing all feedback from the consultation process, including around 1700 responses from the questionnaire.
In the near future an engagement report will be published outlining the project’s next steps. All questions submitted to the Council/Cabinet meeting will be addressed either in the engagement report or the business case for the project. Updated timescales for these elements of the project can be found on the project website.
To stay up to date with BWWCL, and when the engagement report is published, we encourage you to sign up to our alerts as this is the best way to stay informed.
This consultation is now closed. The trial will remain in place until a final decision is reached on whether to remove it or make it permanent.
A report on the outcomes, including analysis of traffic and air quality monitoring data, is now available to read.
A decision on whether to make the scheme permanent under a standard Traffic Regulation Order will be made after 15 February 2025 once all outcomes have been considered.
