Bath One Stop Shop is undergoing refurbishment but is open as usual

We are creating a combined Police Station and Information & Advice Centre at Lewis House to better meet the needs of the residents of Bath and the surrounding communities.

We aim to improve the prominence of the Police Enquiry Office, Local Neighbourhood Policing Team, and the Foreign National Registration Service within the heart of Bath city centre

The first phase of the refurbishment to Bath One Stop shop, which will include improvements to the forecourt, will be starting on Monday 4 October and continuing for 11 weeks.

The second phase of work, being undertaken by Avon and Somerset Police, will begin in January and is estimated to be completed in Spring 2022.

We apologise for any disruption caused. The One Stop Shop will be open as usual and the works won’t affect the service provided to the public.

Personal waste and Covid-19

Disposable cleaning clothes, tissues, nappies or any other personal waste should always be put in your rubbish bin. If members of your household have the symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19), personal waste like this should be double bagged, tied securely and kept separate from other waste for at least 72 hours before being put in your black wheelie bin or re-usable rubbish bag. Never put any personal waste in recycling boxes, as we won’t collect it.
