Update On Lime Grove School Site
Submitted by admin on 20 May 2010 - 7:44am"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.
