When I was about 10 I was called young man all the time – a sort of compliment. I was gathering myself together and becoming a grown up person. I enjoyed the title as it promised me adulthood and respect. The young man occasions then waned in the intervening years as I became “sir”.

    The Quaternary Evolution of the Gordano Valley, North Somerset

    The Quaternary Evolution of the Gordano Valley, North Somerset, UK. Thomas Charles Bernard Hill A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Faculty of the Built Environment, University of the West of England, Bristol January 2006 Abstract The Gordano Valley is a low-lying valley positioned in close proximity to the Severn Estuary, in southwest England. Although its late Quaternary and Holocene sedimentary archive is extensive, the spatial and temporal evolution of the Gordano Valley has received only limited attention from previous researchers. In this study, stratigraphic analysis of the valley archive, combined with pollen, diatom and particle size analysis are utilised in a detailed reconstruction of the evolution of the Gordano Valley. Two contrasting depositional environments are present, separated by a sedimentary ridge traversing the width of the valley. A tentative mechanism is presented for the development of the ridge in response to periglacial hillslope erosion and deposition during the Devensian glacial period (c. 115,000-11,500 Cal. yrs BP). In contrast, the chronology and development of the two depositional environments is clearer. Detailed multiproxy analysis of the two sedimentary archives reveals the development of an enclosed lake basin headward of the ridge during the late glacial period (c. 18,000-15,000 Cal. yrs BP). Subsequent climatic amelioration in response to the transition from glacial to interglacial conditions resulted in the terrestrialisation of the lake at the onset of the BØlling/AllerØd interstadial, c. 15,000 Cal. yrs BP. A complete hydroseral succession sequence is present in the headward region of the valley, where the terrestrialised lake sequence developed into the fen peatland that is present today.

  • Climate Emergency Action Plan – Year 2 (2021)

    Climate Emergency Action Plan – Year 2 (2021)

    Appendix 4: Climate Emergency Action Plan – Year 2 (2021) These are additional actions funded through the Climate Emergency budget for Year 2 but it is not a comprehensive list of all the work being done by the council on Climate Emergency. This work is to identify new projects that scale up and expand work on Climate Emergency. Projects in the white boxes are new projects Projects in the blue boxes are the Year 2 phase of a project started in the year 1 action plan This is a portfolio of projects that needs to be matched against the available budget. Where the budget does not cover all projects the intention is for them to be developed to a stage where they are ‘shovel ready’ pending funding opportunities. Project stages defined: Prepare – Project planning, this can include data gathering, research and consultation, business case development, Develop – Project development, this includes putting in place processes and systems, setting up governance structures, securing resources Implement – Project delivery, outputs produced, putting in place measures or carrying out actions that deliver the aims Climate Emergency Theme: Cross Cutting PLANNED ACTIONS (2021/22) PROJECT STAGE LEAD – in our own operations Decision making - Build Climate Emergency aims (emissions reduction, nature recovery and local adaptation and resilience) into decision making DEVELOP process for projects on Covid response and across all areas of Council work and influence. Purpose: This integrated work on reducing health inequalities, transport, economy and place shaping has significant potential to deliver Climate Emergency aims. Funding opportunities - Carry out assessment of funding opportunities with partners and submit bids for external funding to support the delivery DEVELOP of the Climate Emergency action plan (emissions reduction, nature recovery and local adaptation and resilience).

In the Parliamentary constituencies we cover, we have seen marginal seats become safe Conservative seats and a Liberal Democrat minister lose his job. UKIP and the Green Party went from 'wasted votes' to significant minority parties. Locally, two councils which have had no overall control for the last eight years are now firmly in the hands of Conservative councillors while Bristol, which elects a third of its council on an annual The count at Bath University basis, remains a hung administration. The vote for its elected mayor takes place next year.

The relationship can be quite complex. It is determined by numerous factors which need to be taken into account in planning for growth. 1.2 The purpose of this Topic Paper is to set out the evidence in terms of the settlements in North Somerset in order to identify their current function and functional relationships with other settlements. The evidence will form the basis on which a hierarchy of settlements will be established. In particular the identification of Development Policy B and C settlements set out in the draft RSS. The Paper will also consider how policies have influenced the form and function of settlements and inform any discussion of whether the current list of inset and washed over Green Belt settlements is still appropriate and whether settlement boundaries are still the appropriate planning tool for many green belt and rural settlements.
