Map Features: Annotation 3: None Annotation 4: Area 4 south of the Peasedown by-pass would best be served by Bathavon South as any proposed development in this area has future implications on the Parish of Shoscombe Comment text: Shoscombe Parish has always been concerned that any development south of the Peasedown by-pass would allow sprawling development that eventually could negate the rural nature of the hamlets contained in Shoscombe Parish. If this small area could be included in Bathavon South there is more likely to be sensitivity to this requirement of the local community, than if this are remained outside the ward in which Shoscombe is located.

The border between Odd Down and Bathavon South currently goes through the site of St Gregory's School; additionally a strategically allocated site in the Core Strategy/Development Plan for Bath and North East Somerset will also cling to this border and effectively be an extension of the housing estate to the east of St Gregory's School (see http://www.bathnes.gov.uk/sites/default/files/sitedocuments/Planning-and-Building- Control/Planning-Policy/Core-Strategy/core_strategy_-_adopted_interactive_version.pdf#page=65). Both the school and the new development should be included within the Odd Down ward as they are distinctly part of that area and not Bathavon South. The hamlet of Kilkenny (Rose Cottages, Woodside Cottages and the Hermitage on Kilkenny Lane) in Bathavon West bordering the Odd Down boundary and A367 roundabout besides St Gregory's School should also be incorporated into the Odd Down ward. Not only is in effect an extension of the Odd Down community but the border creates a problems with service delivery, in particular with policing as due to it's inclusion in Bathavon West emergency calls are directed to Radstock and not Bath, causing significant delays in response times.

As an entity, it might be easier to manage it if it were entirely in one or the other ward. I don't have any views on which ward it should be in.

They should not be merged with and subsumed into larger town wards, that maybe geographically close such as Radstock or Peasedown St John, but with which have little in common in terms of issues.

The reason for this view is that these areas, both geographically and economically relate to the former rather than the latter. People from these areas shop in and walk to Radstock community facilities rather than those in Westfield. The new Ward boundary could be easily redrawn from the existing one near the centre of Radstock to the new one at the top of Welton Road.

Half of Radstock Town centre is in the Westfield ward. This makes no sense to the general public at large and is actually just completely confusing to an awful lot of residents who live there. Can we also do something about the Westmoreland Ward? I have lived and worked in Bath and the surrounding area for 30 years and I couldn't tell you where the Ward starts and finishes. I would be very surprised if any-one in that area realised what ward they were in. They just identify with it being Oldfield Park so perhaps amalgamate the Oldfield and Westmoreland wards together. This may result in an additional Councillor for that area as the population there is very high density due to the abundance of HMO's with students from the two Universities. This will be part of the problem with proposed changes for Bath where a population of about 88,000 is made up of 24,000 students who tend to be congregated in areas such as Oldfield Park and along the Lower Bristol Road The Widcombe ward is too disjointed and people to the west of the ward do not identify with being in Widcombe. The Kingsmead Ward covers too large an area and goes all the way up to Chelsea Road which would be regarded as either Weston or Newbridge wards. The Bathavon North, South and West wards just cover what was the old Bathavon Rural District Council area which was in essence the "doughnut" around Bath. There may be some scope in merging some of the Parishes in those wards on the periphery of the old Bath City boundary with wards just inside. There is potential for this in areas such as Monkton Combe, with the Parish becoming part of the Combe Down ward. This is made easier due to the fact that there are no Parishes within the old Bath city boundary to worry about. If you look to the south of the district then there is an argument for parishes such as Camerton and Shoscombe being merged with the Peasedown St John ward which would also make sense. You could also argue that the two Midsomer Norton Wards could be merged with three Councillors to cover a single ward rather than having four Councillors over two wards where perhaps the population of the town does not justify it.
