The boats, many serving as holiday accommodations, sit near the iconic Pulteney Bridge — a landmark that once attracted literary figure Jane Austen. Bath & North East Somerset Council insists the removals are necessary due to serious health and safety concerns, describing the vessels as hazardous and situated in unauthorized and dangerous mooring zones.
