Weird how hard Council Connect are fighting this digital display case... while at the Rec with the Good Old Boys' epilepsy-triggering horrific flashing bright LED ad hoardings erected w/o consent & degrading 2 prime WHS sightlines it's still all 🙈🙉🙊 #TwoTierPlanning

Your reminder that, cos Bath Rugby sneaked 1000s km of PFAS-containing plastic grass blades into their pitch w/o Consent, they never had to disclose their non-existent measures for preventing the Forever Chemicals leaching into the river. Why clean up when kids can pay the price?

🤔What a ludicrous statement when it's literally just a few weeks since the far worse designed scheme for the stadium was seen by the committee. With all the worst design aspects allowed & all the shoddy errors, omissions & misrepresentations waved through without correction!

Cllr Halsall if it wasn't his ward: "The Unis are the beating heart of Bath. I don't believe it'll harm quality of life for neighbours. So lucky to have the HMOs that house them in his ward. Bath IS the universities. Allowing this appalling appln will be fantastic for the city."

BANES: We must prevent crowds of yobs shouting & drinking in the street & depositing their bodily fluids in private gardens & on pavements. Also BANES: ...except if it's rugby fans in a residential area of often vulnerable older/disabled folk around the Rec. #TwoTierPlanning

The double yellow lines here on the only emergency access to Pulteney Weir, a well known river accident blackspot, are cos parked cars make it too narrow for fire engines & other larger vehicles needing to use it. But the fans who park here just don't care 🤡

B&NES Planning Committee: "this should be done on site" Also B&NES Planning Committee: "it's fine if Rec Biodiversity Net Gain is done off-site, outside B&NES🤔, on Bath Rugby's private land, in Wilts🧐, expediently out of public sight & scrutiny" #TwoTierPlanning strikes again.

🤔Bath Newseum cynically celebrates night-time skies & ambience he knows are to be destroyed with his support on the altar of the insidious Good Old Boys network of Bath following a shockingly biased & incompetent planning process, the wheels greased by a cowardly media's 🙈🙉🙊

This much-used accessible route yet again blocked on matchday. Bath Rugby once again depriving local disabled people of access to events in central Bath tonight by their intransigent refusal to take responsibility for management of fans in areas around the stadium.

🧐more cognitive dissonance from a Planning Committee who recently consented to Bath Rugby felling lots of trees in more prominent locations, destroying wildlife, & BNG to be concealed from public view on their own private land in another county w nil benefit to BANES residents.

FACT CHECK: In Bath the responsible authorities just turn a blind eye to rugby fans who pee in people's front gardens, courtyards or on the street - they expect it to be cleared up by the local people who are victims of this antisocial behaviour. theguardian.com/sport/2026/feb…

FACT CHECK: Bath Rugby's Mega Shed at The Rec will be even closer to adjacent homes than in the illustrative mega shed example below.

Unless Wiltshire Council #WiltshireTogether Blue Badge rules are different🧐the Bath Rugby-matchday Blue Badge abuse began already with this driver stealing an extra hour between lunch in town & the match, parked on the only emergency vehicle access to the Weir. One law for fans, another for the rest!

💯

Even tiny football clubs you never heard of are responsible. Not Bath Rugby: secretively retroforming a hybrid pitch embedding 1000s Km plastic filament, while denying access to any pollution/env plan. Shed plastic bits can just wash into the river🙈🙉🙊 share.google/fcu4WZJUbIBRy2…

"Despite all warnings from locals who know, we ignored the same issues now being ignored at Bath Rec, & that were also ignored at that facility by the river between Cleveland Pools & Bath Rec that is currently having to spend £1.5 million on trying retroactively to make it safe."

It's so disturbing how Bath Rugby habitually ignore fans parking in locations restricting already dangerously limited emergency access routes to a large 14500 capacity venue & a river where people drown. The approach to compliance & safety around this stadium is simple: 🙈🙉🙊

Locals say this comprehensive demolition job happened on Friday night. So was it one of the attendees at the Bachfest concert in St Mary's or was it one of the usual suspects after the match at the alcohol-fuelled Rec? We should be told...but we probably won't be.
