Would anyone be surprised if the Lib Dem’s bankrupt Bath and central Government needs to step in ? #SinkingBath

Another fine example of Lib Dem local government at its most enterprising. Somerset Council has spent a cool £100,000 hiring Road Closed signs for two years rather than repairing the actual road. Long-suffering residents of neighbouring Bath are, of course, entirely unsurprised.

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to His Majesty The King, our Commander-in-Chief.
Year-round, Bath’s sharp-eyed car lovers spot top classic and young classic vehicles on the city’s streets and driveways. The Festival of Motoring, which raises thousands for charity, reflects that passion & remains one of the year’s highlights. Mark your diaries for 2027 !
Lib Dem Cllr Rigby has helpfully explained Bath’s current chaos and carpet of roadworks by noting that it had been a hot summer. Meanwhile #RoyalVictoriaPark , is being made safer & more welcoming for everyone – except, apparently, the people who actually use it.
Work was briefly paused after an “administrative oversight” (they forgot to read the objections), then resumed once oversight had been carefully overlooked again. Parking spaces will of course be sacrificed in the interests of sustainability & to make room for Plastic tulips 🌷
Just a few pics of the demo outside guildhall last night
Fabulous turnout ! @bathnes @BathLabour @reform4bath @BathCA @BathNESGreens 👇👇👇👇👇
Breaking: Bath’s LibDems, ever alert to the crying need of the people, triumphantly press ahead with their £2.35m cycle lane through #RoyalVictoriaPark – a scheme so popular 84% of consultees opposed it, thousands signed a petition against it & even local cycling lobby object
BATH: big protest last night against the LibDem Council spending £2.3m on a cycle lane through a Royal Park.
Cllr Manda Rigby says the reason the city is covered in roadworks is because it was a hot summer… 🤡
Vote out the @LibDems next May!

BATH: Two things are very clear.
1. The LibDem Council are wrecking the city.
2. The anti-car, Net Zero project has failed.
Vote them out in May 2027.

Oh look… 👀 A blue tractor with a flail mower flattening the rewilded hillside at #Bath #HighCommon.
Lib Dems declared an "Ecological Emergency" but suddenly precious winter insect habitats are mulch.
Green principles? Only if they don't clash with the new golf contract? 😉

It’ll be like how long’s a piece o’ string. Just like the Fashion Museum. Deadlines will shift & there’ll be no money to undo it.

Good the new operator of the pitch & put is doing something - but I thought this bit of the park was some kind of rewilding biodiverse paradise.
I guess we will get another Bathnes "lesson learnt" "processes to be updated" comms when the community nuttery greens notice.

I doubt even the most loyal of @bathnesld supporters believe that.

Bath’s Lib Dem council announces it will “carefully review” its unpopular Royal Victoria Park cycle lane … in a whole year’s time , once their controversial changes are fully installed - And once the concrete has set. Does anyone trust them ? @PrivateEyeNews 👀 #RottenBorough

Bath’s Lib Dems are wrong to carve up 196 year old Royal Victoria Park against residents’ wishes for a handful of cyclists.
It’s a waste of money, a hit to parking income, and an insult to the park’s heritage and neglected ponds. A review after the concrete sets is too late.
