Bath and North East Somerset Council aim to deliver 65% of the districts employment by 2026 within the Bath Riverside Enterprise Area. BANES will also aim to provide the necessary accommodation for the areas high value business sectors within the BREA.
BANES recently appointed Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios to develop the masterplan for this riverside Enterprise Area. Since their appointment, FCBS have been working with stakeholders and local community members to garner support for the future developments, as well as developing key themes which characterise different qualities of life; water, working, wildlife, human and park. This is based on the compilation of their formal public consultation so far.
Both BANES and FCBS recognise the success of the formal public consultation up to this point, yet stress the lacking engagement of younger generations and agree that this is due to the limitations of the formal community consultation processes.
This is where MyBathMyCity came into play.
