Bath and North East Somerset Council has instructed houseboat residents moored downstream of Pulteney Weir to leave or face legal action, igniting a challenge from opposition councillors. Eleven councillors have formally called in the council’s decision to register ownership of the riverbed with the Land Registry, pushing for a detailed scrutiny panel review set for July 15.
