Parking has been suspended along the entire length of York Street in Bath from today, following the discovery of defects within the highway structure during an inspection earlier this month.

Following advice from both Council and independent engineers, York Street has been partially closed between Abbey Street and Stall Street to traffic to ensure the safety of the public and the scheduled ancient monument beneath the highway.
Bath & North East Somerset Council is working to avoid closing the entire length of York Street in order to minimise disruption.
However, to ensure pedestrian safety and to maintain two way traffic, parking is to be suspended in the section of York Street that remains open.
Urgent remedial repairs are required. At this time it is unknown how long the road closure will remain in place, however the Council are working to make the road safe as soon as possible.
Alternative access to Swallow Street is via Lower Borough Walls, Stall Street, Abbeygate Street, Swallow Street between 10am and 6pm. Pedestrian access is not affected.
The Council understands this causes inconvenience and says it appreciates the cooperation of residents and local businesses.
