Freeview Road - parking updates


We have been alerted to a leaflet being put out in Freeview Road today. we understand leaflet was talking about parking bays and not the funding that we have secured putting in grass crete to allow parking on the grass areas.

Councillor Tim Ball and Sarah Moore have carried out a considerable amount of work on this issue including meetings, emails and telephone conversations, we first received firm costings for the work in September 2016 and have been fighting hard to get a resolution.

We are really pleased to have received the below confirmation this morning that shows money has been allocated for some of the parking improvements to be made on Freeview Road.

Dear Cllr Ball 
Following our telephone conversation I can confirm funding that was recommended by Bath City Forum was signed off through a single member decision that was cleared in 18th September 
2018.https://democracy.bathnes.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?id=1129&LLL=0 
£14,400 allocation from the Bath CIL neighbourhood portion for application BA-036, a contribution towards parking improvements located at Site C, Freeview Road, Twerton Bath.  
£19,600 allocation from the Bath CIL neighbourhood portion for application BA-037, a contribution towards parking improvements located at Site E, Freeview Road, Twerton Bath.

We will of course continue to fight to find more funding to carry out additional works on other areas of the road and will provide an update on this when we receive it.
