There's been a favourable reaction to a city centre masterplan B&NES is calling the Milsom Street Quarter. Over the next twenty years - if implemented - it will see involve finding a new home for the Fashion Museum, building a lot of new housing, ridding Milsom Street and part of Broad Street of all traffic and creating a new square in front of St Michael's Church.
Today l did a long and frank interview with the Deputy Leader of B&NES about this and other matters. Cllr Samuel is the cabinet member responsible for resources so hold's the council's purse strings.
We talked about this proposal and other things including an ultimatum the council has given the Department of Transport regarding Cleveland Bridge.
Bath is an old city - says Cllr Samuel and he's concerned what happened regarding this listed bridge could happen elsewhere. I even asked about the fact that one side of the colonnade in Bath Street had been painted - creating a bit of a strange effect in the heart of our heritage city.
It's a good interview and well worth listening to the end.
