Estate Rationalisation, Bath (WL)

Bath & North East Somerset Council is implementing an Estate Rationalisation project to improve service efficiency, reduce property costs, and support its capital investment programme.

A key part of this initiative is the proposed sale of Lewis House, which will generate capital receipts and save the Council in running costs. To enable the disposal, Council services currently based at Lewis House will be relocated to refurbished facilities at the Guildhall, Parkside, and Pixash.

The project includes a £2.69m investment to upgrade these sites, with sustainability improvements at Parkside supporting the Council’s 2030 Decarbonisation targets.

This rationalisation supports the Council’s long-term goals of financial sustainability, improved service delivery, and environmental responsibility.
