How are we doing it?

The development will take place in a series of projects between 2007/08 and 2011/12. It will not be possible to close the Roman Baths, so we will be dealing with one area of the site at a time, but there will be times when parts are closed for work to take place. Some work will also take place out of hours.

Preparatory work has included the preparation of some key documents to guide this work.

  • an Access Feasibility Study to look at the practical issues of improving access throughout the site;
  • a Conservation Statement which provides background information for applications for scheduled monument consent;
  • Interpretation and Audience Development Strategy to define the make-up of existing audiences and identify ways to attract new audiences;
  • a Design and Interpretation Brief which specifies what we want our designers to do.

We have appointed the leading design company Event Communications Ltd as our interpretation designers for these projects.
