The path between Pulteney Road and the Kennet & Avon Canal is to be improved this Autumn. The path leads from the railway bridge opposite North Parade Bridge Road, past the new Rennie Close, and up to the canal by the allotments.

The developer of Rennie Close provided BathNES Council with money to improve the quality of the footpath. Your Liberal Democrat councillors have been pressing council staff to implement the planned improvements. These include the reconstruction of the steps and installation of a channel for pushing cycles up.

The Council has now issued a notice warning of the closure of the path while work is to be carried out. They have allowed a six month period, from 25th August, to complete the works. However, the path will not be closed for this duration; only when necessary to undertake the works.
