Council and mayor bid to make school run greener
Bath Chronicle
|September 04, 2025
The West of England Mayoral Combined Authority and Bath & North East Somerset Council have invested nearly £5.4 million into the Scholars' Way Scheme, intended to improve walking, wheeling, and cycling routes across the south of the city.
The project aims to better connect schools and residential areas in the city, encouraging more environmentally friendly travel.
Part of the project also proposes to install four new and two improved crossings and four new or improved bus stops.
In the western section, the intended route aims to link Combe Down Primary School and St Martin's Garden Primary School via Mulberry Park, parallel with Bradford Road, with the work already having started in mid-July.
Work on the eastern section, covering Oakley, Copseland, Widcombe Hill, Claverton Down Road, Quarry Farm and Ralph Allen School, will take place in 2026.
