Latest cycle path scheme set to spark new discord
Bath Chronicle
|June 19, 2025
A new cycle path and new crossings could soon lead to a controversial liveable neighbourhood in Bath, in a bid to make it more attractive and safe for pedestrians and cyclists.
Sydney Road was closed to through traffic in April 2024 as part of Bath and North East Somerset Council’s programme of liveable neighbourhoods (also known as low traffic neighbourhoods, or LTNs).
The schemes are intended to stop speeding on residential roads and make them safer and more pleasant for walking and cycling - but some have warned that traffic is just getting displaced to neighbouring roads.
The council decided in February to make the liveable neighbourhood on Sydney Road permanent, and saw off a call-in by opposition councillors.
Now it is asking for comments on plans to build a new raised continuous crossing across New Sydney Place at its junction with the A36 Sydney Place/Darlington Street.
