[Boaters in Bath!]

Interesting - I know this length of river very well having walked, cycled and boated along it - I have also fallen in it from a boat and whilst I got out it wasn't any thanks to the safety equipment on the river! That was in 2011 and things have improved a bit. 

When you refer to people who "live along the river" do you mean on boats or in houses? Your questions relate to the towpath and the vast majority of users won't be boaters. Some, like me (most of the time) will be commuters. 

Hi Roland, 

thank you for your response.  
 

we are trying to reach out to all riverside users and used this channel to contact boaters but they are not our only/ biggest interest group. 
 

we are looking at ways to make the riverside more accessible and feel safer for all users. So we 100% appreciate your feedback thank you so much!

 

kind regards,

Hi Matty. 
 

We have spoken to boaters already and are planning to speak to people along the riverside. To avoid any further confusion we have contacted this online forum as only a part of our investigation in order to get some responses from people we haven’t managed to meet with. 
 

kind regards and have a nice day!

Hello,

 

We are a group of University students in Bath and we are conducting some research regarding the waterways and associated green public space in Bath. 

 

To do this we were hoping to get in touch with people who live along the Avon in Bath!

We are particularly interested in the proportion of permanent boater residents, the type of communities, and other rules and regulations around the area.

In addition, we have a questionnaire if you do live in the area! (I have attached it to the link below) Please send your responses to greenequityvip@groups.bath.ac.uk

 

Thank you ever so much and hope you get in touch!

 

Jenna Patel and Green Equity at the University of Bath.
