The University of Bath have built a new pedestrian crossing to access the bus stop on Convocation Avenue.

The need for a crossing was brought up at a meeting of the University Neighbours’ Forum, a regular meeting of university management and local residents. The Forum was established by Bathwick’s Lib Dem councillors to improve town and gown relations.

A new strip of pavement has been laid, and a pedestrian island installed just after the Avenue junction. This means that local residents and bus passengers will be able to cross safely for their outwards and return journeys.

Cllr David Martin, who lives nearby, has welcomed the construction of the crossing: “I’m glad that local residents have a forum to discuss matters like this with the university management.”
