A report released today has ranked Bath as the country's least clean city writes Robin Peterson. The survey by Clean Britain magazine visited every city in England and found Bath, run close by Coventry, to be on the bottom of the pile. It is a huge blow for the city which was only last year placed eleventh in the same poll. More bad news was to come when the Lanestreet Avenue was named dirtiest road in England. The notorious road in question connects the university with the city. Doubtless, the news will only serve to exacerbate the decline the city is currently undergoing.

Other news in Bath today includes the finding of a vast army of earth worms in a Bath allotment. The worms appeared to be attempting to represent trigonometrical functions although these reports are as yet unconfirmed. Wildlife experts were bemused as some of the worms appeared to have antennae.
