With >100 victims swept under the carpet of yday's news it's disturbingly unsurprising the Rec stadium applicant just carries on refusing to address the existing matchday turkey shoot on & around Pulteney Bridge - & wants to send vastly more pedestrians into the chaos of distracted matchday traffic.

Look, some stadia have contingency plans for emergencies!
Meanwhile, complete disregard for safety of local people & tourists is one of the worst & most concerning failings around our local stadium with zero plans to put it right in a new planning appln we were told would address existing failings🤫

Was it because the developer fibbed about the flood history of the site & pretended ground levels were higher than they really are, whilst ignoring all requests to correct?

Always lovely to see young people using this safe cycling route into Bath. Believe it or not that's what it's there for.

Call me old-fashioned, but I do feel it would be better to do a review BEFORE there's a serious accident instead of continuing to pretend there's no traffic on Pulteney Bridge.

The government attitude to culture & the arts was clear from how they managed British Library (priceless online resources still largely inaccessible 18 months on). Even though arts/culture are enormous contributors to economic activity!

Charming Bath Rugby people helpfully illustrating how all meaningful discussion of the Rec developer's proposals and their far-reaching impacts is being relentlessly silenced in Bath.

Seeking yet again to prioritise areas with town or parish councils over Bath where the residents have no parish or town council representation?

What an awful take by @bneslabourgroup.bsky.social
NES Labour councillors & certain Parish Councils have relentlessly attacked & shared misinfo about Bath residents for over a year now - & you object to Bath residents forced to turn up to refute the misinfo? Stop politicking with people's lives.

Cleveland Place has been transformed since the daily hundreds of huge through-traffic HGVs were removed from Bath 5 years ago & is full of thriving businesses.

⬇️The misinfo just keeps on coming.
FACT CHECK:
-Bath Rugby's Safety Cert is literally concealed from public view on the local Licensing records.
-Nearby residents aren't even allowed to see info directly relevant to their own safety in spite of extreme proximity/impacts on their own escape routes.

Belittling folk asking for a safe stadium?
-Lucky the tree was small. Since Bath Rugby blocked the large crane access route, sole emergency access is a narrow tunnel thru an 18th C bridge arch.
-The weir's Bath's worst river accident blackspot. Since 2000, ppl died, injured & a tour boat sank here.

The photo in OP was from a road that's National Cycle Route 4 & draws visitors from all over the world to see it for its Jane Austen connections & famous streetscape - not for its SUVs!

Newly repainted parking bays in Bath about a week ago. About 30cm wider than before to re-allocate roads pace away from pedestrians and cyclists to SUVs.
I don't remember anyone asking my opinion.

Today is Australia Day, a day for Bathonians to be mindful that, whatever the local info boards in Sydney Gardens & Bathampton might say, Arthur Phillip definitely did not establish the first settlement at Sydney Cove which was already inhabited by the Gadigal clan of the Eora nation.

😂 BBC Bristol misled by X's confected rage mongers again.
Nothing screams "I haven't been to Jolly's since years before Milsom St traffic restrictions" louder than thinking it was still the iconic department store it stopped being years before Ashley took over.
