We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

We’re sharing some information from a new organisation called The Housing Assembly; focused on Bath & North East Somerset, the Assembly is looking to raise the voices of people who are not served by the current housing system – you might need somewhere bigger, more affordable or in a different location, or you might be sleeping on a sofa or in a car, or worried about how you can afford rent or one day buy a home. If that sounds like you please have a look at the Assembly’s website and sign up to get involved – and get your voice heard.

The Housing Assembly will be taking to the streets over the next two month, with a postcard stand at the following locations – come along and have a chat and let us know how you feel about the housing situation in our area:

Sunday 25 May           Fringe Arts Bath Festival

Tuesday 27 May         Old Bond Street, Bath
