Revitalising Public Spaces: Kingsmead Square, Bath Parklets and Cycle Racks
Meristem Design contributed to the transformation of Kingsmead Square in Bath by installing two parklets and new cycle racks, with an additional two placed on Milsom Street. This initiative, led by Bath & North East Somerset Council, aims to enhance the evening economy and create a cleaner, greener public space.

Testimonials
It has been a long-held ambition of residents and businesses in Kingsmead Square to reduce the dominance of vehicles and reclaim the roadway as public space and we’ve been working with the local community on the project for the past two years.
The new parklets look great and fit well into the vibrant square where a European style, socially distanced, café culture is now blossoming in the traffic-free environment.
So far the feedback we’ve received has been really positive and we’ll be consulting on a permanent vehicle access restriction for Kingsmead Square in the coming months.
Councillor Joanna Wright
Joint Cabinet Member for Transport
We are absolutely delighted with the incredible support we have received from Bath & North East Somerset Council.
Not only have they pedestrianised the entire square, they have now installed these beautifully designed seating areas and bike parks.
This was all underway pre-Covid and we thought it might all get delayed but the team at Bath & North East Somerset Council have swung into action and made it all happen. It’s brilliant!
