Bath & North East Somerset Council will be starting the first stage of highway works in Saw Close today, Monday 22nd May, in a bid to improve the space for the public.

The project seeks to re-establish Saw Close as a key public space with a greater focus on cyclist and pedestrian needs.

Between May 2017 and February 2018, B&NES Council will be carrying out construction in phases within the highway boundary, including footways.

The street environment will be improved with materials appropriate to the historic nature of Bath, including new street furniture such as public seating and cycle parking.

All businesses including the Theatre Royal will be accessible during the works however some road closures will be necessary at times with diversions in place.

More information regarding the project can be found at www.bathnes.gov.uk/sawclose.
