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.
