I’m hearing two points of view as to when Avon Fire and Rescue Service is going to leave their permanent station and head to the temporary one further down the Lower Bristol Road.
One says by the end of this month, and the other mid-February.
Whichever it is, it won’t be long before demolition begins at that 1930’s Bath HQ.
Meanwhile, speculation grows as to who is going into the old M & S building when the company moves into South Gate and opens on February 4th in the old Debenhams store.
While M & S may be about to move shop, they will leave certain set-in-stone legacies that may or may not remain.
While I was passing that way, I was a little saddened to see some acknowledgement of the area’s medieval past looking the worse for wear. Wouldn’t take long to clean them up, would it?
If we had a cabinet member specifically charged with Heritage, such matters might receive more attention.
I have noted before how the inner city’s public spaces are looking a little uncared for.
