Field Trip Report the Tortworth Inlier Sunday 26Th April 2015. Dave
Field Trip Report The Tortworth Inlier Sunday 26th April 2015. Dave Green, our group leader, showed us some of the fascinating geology, to the north-east of the city of Bristol. This area is relatively flat but has some undulating topography as it runs into the Vale of Berkeley. It includes the northern part of the once busy Bristol Coalfield. This part of South Gloucestershire is largely rural, dotted with farms, small villages and little townships. It is enclosed by the Mendip Hills to the south, the Cotswold Escarpment to the north and to the east, and the Severn estuary to the west. The area is drained by small streams and rivers like the Frome, whose waters skirt the contours and tumble into the Severn Estuary. Palaeozoic rocks can be found exposed here, while to the east and north east younger Mesozoic rocks overlie them. The geology of South Gloucestershire at first blush appears complex and takes a little unravelling. To begin with; some terminology An inlier is an island of older rock strata, surrounded by younger strata. The Tortworth Inlier comprises Cambrian/Silurian outcrops surrounded by Mesozoic rocks located around Charfield Green, just south of the Little Avon river. It also lies North East of the Carboniferous Coalpit Heath syncline once mined for the bituminous coals it contains. The rock strata we hoped to see Cambrian rocks The oldest strata are the Micklewood beds of upper Cambrian/Lower Ordivician and Tremadoc in age. These are grey micaceous shales with flaggy sandstone or siltstones inbetween. They lie in the southern third of the Tortworth inlier. -

There are growing numbers of walkers and dog owners in the area and whilst the majority keep to footpaths, control their dogs and clean up and remove dog mess, there are growing instances of people accessing private land, allowing dogs to worry livestock, farmers receiving verbal abuse and multiple examples of bags of dog pooh dumped in hedges and fields. -

South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group
COUNCIL SIZE SUBMISSION South Gloucestershire South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group. February 2017 Overview of South Gloucestershire 1. South Gloucestershire is an affluent unitary authority on the North and East fringe of Bristol. South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) was formed in 1996 following the dissolution of Avon County Council and the merger of Northavon District and Kingswood Borough Councils. 2. South Gloucestershire has around 274,700 residents, 62% of which live in the immediate urban fringes of Bristol in areas including Kingswood, Filton, Staple Hill, Downend, Warmley and Bradley Stoke. 18% live in the market towns of Thornbury, Yate, and Chipping Sodbury. The remaining 20% live in rural Gloucestershire villages such as Marshfield, Pucklechurch, Hawkesbury Upton, Oldbury‐ on‐Severn, Alveston, and Charfield. 3. South Gloucestershire has lower than average unemployment (3.3% against an England average of 4.8% as of 2016), earns above average wages (average weekly full time wage of £574.20 against England average of £544.70), and has above average house prices (£235,000 against England average of £218,000)1. Deprivation 4. Despite high employment and economic outputs, there are pockets of deprivation in South Gloucestershire. Some communities suffer from low income, unemployment, social isolation, poor housing, low educational achievement, degraded environment, access to health services, or higher levels of crime than other neighbourhoods. These forms of deprivation are often linked and the relationship between them is so strong that we have identified 5 Priority Neighbourhoods which are categorised by the national Indices of Deprivation as amongst the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England and Wales. These are Cadbury Heath, Kingswood, Patchway, Staple Hill, and west and south Yate/Dodington. -
