Part of the pavement on Bathwick Hill has been closed to protect pedestrians from falling stones.

Over the years many Bathwick residents have noticed the deteriorating state of the retaining wall just uphill from the Youth Hostel. At your councillors’ requests, it has been inspected by the Council for safety several times.

Following this week’s heavy rain some large stones have fallen from the wall. Cllr David Martin again asked the Council’s civil engineer to check, and this time it was decided to close the pavement pending safety works.
