Newbridge

Newbridge is on the Western side of Bath, and it is a very diverse ward. We have many of Bath and North East Somerset's light industries in and around the area. The Royal United is the area's largest Hospital and is situated in Newbridge.

We have 2 junior schools and 1 senior school: Newbridge Infants and Junior School, St. Mary's R.C.School, and Oldfield Girls Senior School. We also have a very popular shopping area, Chelsea Road. There are many diverse businesses that cater for the local community.

We have two riverside pubs/restaurants and are fortunate that the river walkway and cycle path passes through Newbridge - our many hotels and guest houses are also popular with tourists. There is also the Newbridge Park and Ride which is very popular and well used.

We have been the local ward councillors for the area since 1995 and are pleased that we serve and work for an area with great community spirit.

Loraine and Caroline both sit on Council watchdog committees. Loraine is one of the Liberal Democrat joint spokespersons on the Council's "Healthier Communities and Older People Overview and Scrutiny Panel" and Caroline chairs the Council's "Safer and Stronger Communities Overview and Scrutiny Panel".
