A hot day for a hi viz. Cleveland Bridge works progressing well.

A wonderful wonderful tribute to Bath. Very well done to all those who worked on this, now is not the time to be talking our city down.

Exceptional work leading up outstanding achievement #bigupBath

Spoken with five residents with booked half hour slots this morning. I sorted one problem, pointed in right direction for 2, gave the right info rather than false hope to last 2. All very appreciative. I'm now going to a good friend!

Great start to the morning discussing Cleveland bridge with James Hanson @bbcrb . Thanks for inviting me on the show to update listeners on the latest situation re the ongoing repair works.

Well done to all the Team Bath sportspeople who are having such success at #Tokyo2020 and good luck to @PentathlonGB tomorrow 🤞Hope the city can host a proper celebration for our Olympians and Paralympians in the Autumn, Covid safe obviously 💙

Thank you both for your time this morning, and look forward to continuing to work to protect the heritage asset, especially from HGVs.

Just worked out all the things round my fireplace have been given to me by people I love. This brings me joy. I'm passing it on.

Cleveland Bridge repairs are going well, and the bridge is set to reopen on schedule. But going forwards, what can we do to restrict HGV traffic through Bath – protecting health, reducing pollution/congestion and protecting the bridge long term?

“I am convinced that there must be a solution which gives a net benefit to the region. We will try every possible way forwards. This is about the fight for cleaner air, reduced through traffic and a better environment.” 🎙️ Manda Rigby – Cabinet member for Transport

Thank you. I think however all contributions brought a mix of clarity and passion!

Thanks Richard. I enjoyed our talk and hope I was clear in my answers. I am proud to be part of a team, delivering its promises, listening to our residents, protecting and enhancing Bath and North East Somerset.

Further information for you

This is so important in terms of combatting the climate emergency.

As promised The Mayor of Bath. Great photo by Zu, and wonderful to see you.

Hugely shocked and saddened to hear of Sir David Amess MP's murder. A man who those who knew him said was principled, dedicated, kind, generous and honourable. Killed whilst serving the public, doing his role, helping others. An attack on a very decent man, and our democracy, RIP

Thank you so much for hosting this Madam Mayor.

This is a significant milestone in a complicated project. Well done to the project team and contractors for their hard work! 👏

Please be Covid Courteous and help drive down the appalling numbers in BANES. Wearing masks saves lives, not the wearers necessarily.

Thanks for having me on the show, and allowing me to talk to our community.
