 Prohibition of Driving Order, Royal Crescent, Bath
There is a common concern that the closure would not alleviate, but simply shift the problems caused by open-top tour buses from the Royal Crescent to areas already experiencing those same problems and exacerbate the situation.
It is feared that the closure of the Royal Crescent and removal of its junction with Marlborough Buildings would remove the need for motorists to take caution when approaching this area.
Both of these junctions regularly suffer long tailbacks and it is feared by residents that the addition of traffic diverted from the Royal Crescent will bring about further congestion with the inherent problems of heavy vehicles and open-top tour buses trying to travel up the hill.

 The Royal Crescent Hotel - Bath, United Kingdom - Superb Photos, Independent Review and Exclusive Online Specials
Bath’s Royal Crescent, for those not in the know, is something not unlike the 1774 equivalent of Trump Tower—a collection of some thirty houses joined together and spread out in a five-hundred-foot arc.
The Royal Crescent Hotel takes up houses 15 and 16 of the Crescent, and a (quite sensible) local ban on signage means it’s unmarked, though the presence of a doorman is enough of a giveaway.
House number one of the Crescent may be given over to a museum decorated in authentic eighteenth-century style, but the hotel’s interiors are scarcely more modern.

 Bath Luxury Hotels Bath Spa Royal Crescent Bath
John Wood was utterly determined that his masterpiece should present a prospect of total uniformity and understated gracefulness, his sweeping vision and scrupulous attention to every detail has created a great elliptical curve almost fifty feet high and five hundred feet long that comprises thirty houses of grand proportions.
Such harmony, restraint and elegance, plus the gently sloping sweep of grass that stretches before it, always has the same effect – whether you are seeing the crescent for the very first time, or for the hundredth, it is a sight that never fails to draw a gasp of amazement.
When the famous literary hostess, Mrs Elizabeth Montagu, came to live at No.16 in 1780 she declared that “The beautiful situation of the Crescent cannot be understood by any comparison with anything in any town whatsoever.” Over two centuries later it is hard to see how any sensible observer could reasonably challenge this bold claim.

Midnight Rose's failed to click, and the Royal Crescent Mob were subsequently dumped by Sire, even as their live shows continued to draw huge crowds.
Happy Chichester later formed the group Howlin' Maggie, and in an interview taken long after the Mob split, he stated that while relations between Sire and the Royal Crescent Mob remained positive, the promotion and publicity for their releases were done out of house.
On the other hand, the Royal Crescent Mob's greatest strength was as a live act -- they could really turn on a crowd in a big way -- and this did not translate to the medium of recording with ease.

Fortunately the open space to the front of the crescent still exists as undeveloped and is often used for concerts, firework displays and hot air balloon ascents.
When looking at the crescent, one can see that the very grand centre is not in the centre at all, and the centre's pediment is held up by five Corinthian columns (very bad practice regarding classical architecture-there should be an even number of columns).
