Residents – with access to Bath’s historic Gravel Walk – are being contacted by B&NES with a warning about a new locking arrangement to stop the build-up of parked vehicles lining this route to Brock Street and the Royal Crescent.
It follows many complaints about the damage being inflicted on Bath’s first by-pass – immortalised by Jane Austen in her novel Persuasion – and more recently being churned up and seriously damaged by car and van wheels.
Here’s the letter – being delivered to residents – in full:
As you can see CARA – the local Residents Association – and the Council will be holding a meeting with residents once the new local and access system is in operation – to ‘work out a satisfactory permanent solution.’
There is a beautiful explosion of wild flowers planted where the excavations by the river at Avon St – I hope they will continue with this kind of planting over the years to come!
