📰 Did you catch us in last week's Bath Chronicle?

We're proud to protect our environment and communities — especially from planning proposals and developers who often overlook the long-term impacts.💚

🚫 Lidl apply again for a superstore on London Rd, Bath (Planning Ref: 25/01403/FUL) — right at the gateway to a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

We’re objecting due to traffic, flooding, local impact & more.

📝 We’re calling it to Committee. Residents — stay tuned.

🌳 A 300-year-old copper beech in central Bath is under threat from Bath Rugby stadium plan.

Greens say slashing its root protection zone from 21m to 3m is reckless — and breaches planning standards.

“Not just a tree — a life support system.”

We've been working behind the scenes and have sent an open letter to the Council Leader, questioning why Bristol successfully implemented a policy that BathNES dismissed as a national issue. Read more here: greengroupbanes.wordpress.com/2025/03/22/o...

B&NES budget is a missed opportunity to tackle pressing local issues. We are already feeling the strain of cuts to essential services, including adult and child social care, charities, and social enterprises.

In a monumental U-turn, the Liberal Democrat-led Council has scrapped the controversial Camden Road bus gate after a storm of public opposition.

The greens have been talking about the need for increased road safety for years, we even passed vision zero last year as a motion!

Another Chronicle article to share, again by John Wimperis. The proposed Camden Road bus gate continues to be a controversy. Green Lambridge councillors, Saskia and Joanna are working very hard behind the scenes on this matter. Please follow to stay updated.

Ahead of the budget next month, we are taking the time to look at B&NES books. Thank you to John Wimperis in the Bath Chronicle for reporting on such an important issue... more and more funding from adult and social care being reduced. This is unacceptable.
