Houseboats Told to Leave Bath

Houseboats Told to Leave Bath

Published 2 days, 5 hours ago
Description

Bath council is forcing houseboat residents near Pulteney Bridge to leave by September, calling it a safety issue — but boat owners say it’s really about clearing the area for development, with one resident calling it a “minority penalty.” The council claims flooding risks and poor river access are the real threats, yet residents argue their boats add charm and that the proposed relocation spots aren’t livable. They’re pushing back, threatening legal action and even planning to run their own mooring business — all while questioning why the council is spending so much to evict them.
