Title: Health & Safety gone mad or something else? Post by: Robin Summerhill on March 10, 2022, 13:02:51 Yesterday I went to Bath for the first time since mid-January.
When waiting for return services I have almost invariably leaned on the wall towardsthe Bristol end of the station and watched the congestion go by on Dorchester Street. But not yesterday I didn't - a fence has appeared - the sort of thing you see around construcion sites. But I could see no construction or repairs going on. Does anybody know the answer?

I first saw it on the 8th December last year when I was heading to Waterloo - and took a photo as it felt symbolic of the general crapness. Don't know what prompted its appearance but not really a good look for a grade 2* listed building.
