The Bristol & Bath Railway Path is a priority for the Avon Frome Partnership and a working group was set up in 2000 to bring together all the authorities and user groups involved with the Path. In 2000 a business plan was written for the Path and a draft management strategy has since been written which was completed in 2001.
