A new bus stop is planned for St Patrick’s Court on Bathwick Hill. The stop will benefit local residents travelling in to town.

The stop will be part of the Bath Transport Package of improvements to public transport across the city, delivered by Liberal Democrats on BathNES Council. Your local councillors have pressed the council to create the new stop after speaking with local residents.

Many elderly residents living in and around St Ann’s Way want to travel to the city centre by bus, but struggle to use the existing bus stops. The nearest downhill stops are at Raby Place, some distance away, or opposite Cleveland Walk, up a steep part of Bathwick Hill. Provision of a stop in this location will correct the current imbalance, as there are currently more stops on the other side of the road. It also reduces a long gap between stops in this location.

A bus shelter is planned with real time bus service information. The shelter will be in front of St Patrick’s Court flats, so will not spoil any views of the hill. Some on street parking will be lost to the bus stop, but no residents’ parking will be affected.
