Strip the Bath of its UNESCO World Heritage Site status to build more housing

Strip the Bath of its UNESCO World Heritage Site status to build more housing — 20 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

The City of Bath refuses to build more homes to protect its UNESCO World Heritage Site status. This should be removed for Bath to build more housing.

Additional details

The City of Bath refuses to build its fair share of housing to protect its UNESCO World Heritage Site status. This means the surrounding towns and villages have to have built a disproportionate number of houses to meet Government quotas. Keynsham for example is 5 times smaller than Bath but will have to build the same number of homes straining already stretched local infrastructure. Everywhere needs to build its fair share of housing. We just want Bath to do the same.
