Time running out to have your say on controversial Bath LTN

There is just one week left to have your say on whether one of the most controversial liveable neighbourhoods in Bath should be made permanent or removed.

In November, Bath and North East Somerset Council overhauled the Gay Street junction and closed Catharine Place and — most controversially — Winifred’s Lane to through traffic to create the Lower Lansdown Liveable Neighbourhood.
