Bath City Centre Security Improvements

A key part of the Council’s role is keeping the city’s streets and spaces safe and secure from the threat of terrorism. Since 2016, the Council and Avon & Somerset Police have coordinated protection work designed to improve overall public safety and strengthen protection in areas of high footfall.
As the threat to the United Kingdom from terrorism remains, it is important that Bath & North East Somerset Council, with the help of its partners, continues to work hard to support the economy and community of Bath city centre. The Council has been working closely with the Police on plans to further strengthen city centre access restrictions and install new purpose-designed street furniture which will provide permanent enhanced safety for people in areas of high footfall.
