A developer is offering reduced rate accommodation to Royal United Hospital staff and other key workers to ease the strain caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Rengen owns a range of properties and currently has around forty rooms available for immediate use. They will be open to hospital staff and other key workers.

One of the homes is The Chapel in Burnham Road, which was once home to Dr Wilson-Smith, who opened the Medical Mission in Bath for those who could not afford healthcare during WWII.

Rengen Chief Executive, Iestyn Lewis, said: “As we are all aware, we are in unprecedented times and at Rengen, we are keen to do what we can to try and support those on the frontline.

“Some hospital staff are struggling to find short term accommodation close to

hospitals and so we are offer- ing some of our vacant rooms in Bristol and Bath to help.”
