The next meeting of the forum for neighbours of Bath University is on Tuesday 3rd September. The meeting is an opportunity for local residents to speak with university management and students’ union leaders.

The agenda this term includes an update on major projects and a preview of events expected on campus. Plans have been drawn up for a pedestrian island on Convocation Avenue (reported here) and work has started on the new Arts centre.

The University will soon be hosting the Special Olympics, to which all residents are invited as spectators.

There is an open day planned for 14 September, which is likely to cause some traffic disruption, and term starts at the end of the month, with most students expected to arrive from 20th September.
