Installing new flood walls and raise existing river walls on the south side of the river between Churchill Bridge and Midland Bridge. Amendments to the Green Park Road proposals include a change in the Avon Street car park exit location and the location of Corn Street pedestrian crossing. Around 150 trees will be planted as part of the scheme and the area will include a greater diversity of plant species and more fruiting species that will help to attract birds and insects. The trees will be planted at varying stages of maturity, including native species found elsewhere along the river corridor in Bath, such as willow, field maple, alder, birch and lime.

This riverside work will require the riverside path between Green Park and Broad Quay to be closed on occasions, but pedestrians and cyclists will only be diverted when necessary and signs will be in place. The project would not increase flood risk up or downstream and would not stop other flood alleviation works going ahead elsewhere in the city.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused during this change in road layout but we will have lots of advance warning signs in place to ensure the smoothest transition possible.
