Notice is given that Bath and North East Somerset Council in exercise of its powers under section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 has made an order the effect of which will be to temporarily introduce:
• A one-way restriction in that length of St James’s Parade, City Centre, Bath from its junction with Amery Lane extending south east to its junction with Corn Street, meaning traffic will only be able to travel in a southbound direction between these junctions. Traffic will be unable to travel northbound from its junction with Corn Street and will need to follow the diversion route.
• A no waiting/no loading at any time restriction in that length of St James’s Parade, City Centre, Bath on both sides of the road from its junction with Corn Street extending north west to a point outside 8 St James’s Parade.
• The prohibition of access to motor vehicles will be temporarily suspended in that length of Avon Street, City Centre, Bath in order to allow all traffic to use Avon Street as part of the diversion route, whilst the one-way restriction is in place on St James’s Parade.
This order is required because works are being or are proposed to be executed on or near the road to enable Contractors to carry out repairs to a collapsed vault beneath the carriageway from the 8th May 2026 for a maximum period of 18 months. The road will only be restricted as and when traffic signs are in position and may not be affected for the whole of the period but only for so long as is necessary to execute the works.
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE: Corn Street – St James’s Parade (southbound) – Southgate Street – Broad Quay – Ambury – Corn Street – Avon Street – James Street West – St James’s Parade.
