As a Lib Dem run Council we are working hard to ensure that our local economy stays vibrant and diverse. Part of this plan is to enable our local companies to grow and develop here in Bath and NE Somerset. We have just launched an MOU with a local company called BMT. This will enable them to work with the Council to develop the area called Bath Quays South and provide at last a much needed boost in this area. It will enable the company to consolidate its 3 office blocks into one and also add space to grow. This has created a lot of media interest and Breeze FM were keen to interview me on this project.

It goes with a string of achievements in recent months – the creation of the co-working hub in the Guild – the agreement to develop the Guildhall undercroft – the successful marketing of the Cattlemarket and Cornmarket – and that’s just the schemes which involve the Council.

My Lib Dem Cabinet is creating in Bath and NE Somerset a place of wide ranging employment opportunities and growth in the digital and creative sectors.

And just finished an interview with Breeze FM on the subject.
