This is best represented by the opposing views of the Bath Preservation Trust and the Bath & North East Somerset Council. While the Trust stands as a supporter of saving Georgian Bath, the Council continues to sacrifice precious greenbelt areas and historic buildings for the purpose of attracting tourists and prospective residents. Both organizations are extensively examined in order to better comprehend Bath’s future. Although no definite answer can be reached at this point in time, besides establishing balance between old and new architecture, examining social and political issues in this city demonstrates that there is a serious need for legal intervention to prevent further destruction to a past way of life so that the modern world can emerge. Areas explored include the conserved Roman Baths, the recent developments of SouthGate and the Western Riverside Development, the conserved Beckford’s Tower and the demolished Gasholder.

  • Impact Report 2016/17
    1 Oxford University Students’ Union Impact Report 2016-2017 Introduction The past year has in many ways been a transformational one for the Students’ Union. A new sabbatical team, a new CEO, eight new staff and an upcoming new Organisational Strategy have all meant that this year has had to have a focus on meaningful introspection. However, this has not held us back in our outward student engagement, and indeed has provided an opportunity to truly refocus, rebrand and reposition ourselves within the Oxford student and community landscape. In the last six months, the Students’ Union has engaged more students, in more ways and across more demographics, than ever before. Some of our achievements include: • Running a community festival with a footfall of ~2000 people • Our biggest ever Teaching Awards with 895 nominations and 25 award-winners • Elections with the highest turnout in three years (more than doubling graduate turnout), and • A sustained student wellbeing and stress relief programme reaching hundreds of students a week throughout Trinity Term. Our vision of an SU that is valued by every single student at Oxford is closer than ever, and we now have a plan to close that last gap. In addition to increased outreach and broader student engagement, OUSU retains a strong commitment to its core educational, representative, and campaigning mission. We have built on our heritage as a Union that empowers, enables, and channels student interests to improve our University through dedicated collaboration and constructive criticism. On education, a high-profile campaign against the Higher Education and Research Bill contributed to planned fee increases for on course students being dropped and over 70 members of the House of Lords being directly lobbied to amend the bill.
