The city became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 and was later added to the transnational World Heritage Site known as the “Great Spa Towns of Europe” in 2021.

SMART CITY 5G TRIALS – RESIDENTS REQUEST THAT BATH’S COUNCIL ENACT PUBLIC HEALTH OBLIGATIONS

Flawed Smart City 5G Trial Approval Process?

The ONE WORD Smart City 5G trial, which will see 16 5G small cells installed in Bath city centre from next spring, was signed off on February 5th by Councillor Roper ‘in a single member cabinet decision’.

As part of the trial, which will run over an 18-month period, 200-300 volunteers will be issued with handsets to test the effectiveness of the technology.

Karen Churchill of Bath for Safe Technology commented, “No impact assessment, or proof of safety for the particular technology to be employed in this trial has been provided with the application and residents are questioning whether the trials will be truly ‘safe and effective’. We are calling for careful examination, due process and a full and proper risk assessment to be carried out.”
