HYDRO POWER
Bath & North East Somerset Council plans to allocate £1.85 million for creating a business case for a hydroelectric power scheme. This initiative aims to replace the aging Pulteney Radial Gate and could generate sufficient electricity to power Bath's Guildhall.
The funding will cover the business case and design work, with additional funding required for construction. The council's capital budget will be reviewed on February 12, with a vote scheduled for February 24.
