Council progresses housebuilding commitment

The Lib Dem administration of B&NES Council is delighted to be making further progress on our commitment to provide a mix of homes that are badly needed in our area.

Earlier this year we were successful in securing more than £18m Homes England funding for remediation works on the former gasworks site in Bath Western Riverside.

Councillor Kevin Guy, Council Leader (left) and Councillor Matt McCabe, Cabinet Member for Built Environment, Housing and Sustainable Development recently visited the site along with partner organisations. When completed, this development will provide around 900 quality, sustainable market and affordable homes as well as a riverside park, marking a major step forward in delivering on our strategy to build new homes in Bath.
