"There was an article in the Chronicle on 6th May, discussing plans for a trial wet house in Bath, possibly due to open in early July – Councillor Vic Pritchard is not revealing which site he has in mind, but was quoted as saying that it would not be in James Street West. A few local residents have contacted him to ask if the Lime Grove School site is back in contention for a wet house or hostel (trial or otherwise), but he has not replied. Liberal Councillors Ian Gilchrist (Widcombe) and Nicholas Coombes (Bathwick) have no further information from him about the issue either, apart from the fact that the site is currently up for sale.

Car sharing comes to the Hill. There is now a car just down from the Cleveland Walk junction. By joining the car club (from £50/yr) you can use the vehicle from around £5/hr or £50/day. details here: http://www.citycarclub.co.uk

Due to the weather the BHRA Easter Egg Hunt will now take place Saturday 10th of April, at Old Apple, Bathwick Hill.

The City Car Club has been operating in Bath for a while. There are currently 6 cars and the plan is to add 6 more with spaces on Bathwick Hill and Sydney Place.
