Local places and initiatives

Norfolk Crescent, Green Park and Bath Quays

Bath River Line

Improved paths, seating and signs make the riverside easier to use. The first stage between Norfolk Crescent and Bath Quays is complete; further park improvements are planned.

First phase completed; later work planned · evidence dated 2026-03-17

Responsible body: Bath and North East Somerset Council

Progress, funding and source

The dated update confirms resurfaced paths, wider access and new seating. It identifies further Green Park work during 2026 rather than saying the entire riverside programme is finished.

Cost
Not established by the evidence checked.
Funding
A further £600,000 regional grant was awarded in January 2026; this is additional funding, not the total programme cost.
Area covered
Unmapped: a verified current ward boundary or council ward statement is still needed.

No verified ward footprint is assigned.
