Green Corridor: Bathampton Meadows

Overview

This is an example consultation for demonstration purposes only. This site is operated by Delib Ltd and submitted responses will be discarded.

In 2020 the National Trust’s Director-General Hilary McGrady announced our ambition to create 20 “green corridors”, knitting together green space, woodlands, towpaths and parks to remove barriers that could prevent those in inner city neighbourhoods from accessing large green areas.

The corridor through Bathampton Meadows is the first of these corridors to be confirmed.

Meandering out from the heart of the City of Bath World Heritage site, the route through Bathampton Meadows is now in the care of the National Trust and safeguarded from future development. This is thanks to a transfer of land from Bath and North East Somerset Council, and an acquisition of farmland using a restricted fund of legacy donations.

Now the land is in our care, we want to work with the local community and key partners to improve the meadows for both people and nature.

We are having this community engagement to develop the future of the meadows in partnership with local people and key partners. We want to better understand what the meadows mean to people and develop plans on how the land can better support nature habitats and access. Click on the link below to let us know your thoughts.
