The Bath Preservation Trust recently contacted all Residents’ Associations in Bath, explaining the severe effect the Coronavirus lockdown is having on funding their operations, resulting in a 90% reduction of the Trust’s income.  Despite putting most staff on furlough, and use of their financial reserves, some conservation and security activities have to continue in their four museums, and also their scrutiny of planning applications, resulting in a need to raise about £12,000 to cover the next six months.  Accordingly, having consulted our Trustees, the LCA Committee decided, at its (virtual) meeting on 21st April, to donate £1,000 immediately to the Trust, with possibly more later, in recognition of its vital role in this World Heritage City, and also of the great help and advice it has given to the LCA, for example in preserving the land above Dixon Gardens.
