Bath In Bloom • Resource Management

Resource Management

Numerous litter picks are organised by a variety of groups in and around Bath each year. Enterprising residents even held a sponsored litter pick on a section of the new ‘Two Tunnels’ Cycle Route. As well as collecting many bags of rubbish and improving the area, the funds raised were used to support a local under 12’s rugby team!

We are is keen to support any group of people to improve the appearance of their community and may be able to provide the necessary equipment, such as gloves, tabards, and litter pickers as well as arrange for the litter collected to be taken away.

Bath Business Improvement Districts (BID)

A BID is a business-led and business funded body formed to improve a defined commercial area. Bath’s BID was established in April 2011 and over 620 business pay into the scheme. Their priorities include improvements to cleansing and waste.

The scheme employs five rangers and now has its own vehicle with a water supply and pressure washer. As well as daily maintenance, several areas of the City have been the subject of ‘deep cleans’. There is further information here.

Volunteers

Bath in Bloom and BID regularly work with volunteers from businesses and Community Payback Teams on projects to protect and enhance our World Heritage City.
