BANES Movement Strategy Consultation

BANES are running a six-week public consultation from 14 October to 28 November 2025 on the proposed Movement Strategy. As part of their consultation period they will be visiting campus on Tuesday 25 November to meet with students to discuss plans! 

The Movement Strategy for Bath proposes a new way of thinking about how we move around Bath. BANES suggest that It sets out how we can rebalance the use of our streets, prioritise sustainable transport, and create an equitable network that works for residents, businesses, and visitors.

It builds on the 2021 Journey to Net Zero Strategy, which identified pathways to reduce emissions, including:

• 7% decrease in the number of car journeys across the local authority area
• 25% reduction in kilometres travelled per person by car each year
• Electric cars: 76% pure battery, 14% petrol hybrid
• Buses: 76% electric, 24% hybrid
• Rail: 37% of freight rail is electric, 100% passenger rail is electric
