  • 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.

Background The Bristol and Bath Railway Path was completed from City Centre to City Centre in 1984 and right from its earliest days has generated a large popular usage. This 16 mile long traffic free route demonstrated that the public will cycle if they are given the opportunity of attractive routes free from conflict with traffic. Over 1 million cycling trips are made on this route each year (and an equally large number of walking journeys) and this critical mass of cyclists acted as a catalyst to support the ongoing programme of cycling provision in the area. Right from its inception, both campaigners and the Council recognised the Path opening at Coxgrove Hill, July 2012 value of connecting through to Yate and indeed the first part of the route from Mangotsfield Station to Coxgrove Hill (for Pucklechurch) was opened by 1986.

The manufacture began around 1570 in a dozen villages to the east of Bristol, squeezed between the escarpments of the Cotswolds to the north and the River Avon to the south.

Not many Parishes in England can point to the former existence of a Royal building within their boundaries - Pucklechurch is an exception.

  • South Gloucestershire Area Profile
    SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE: ! AREA PROFILE ! South Gloucestershire has one of the fastest growing populations in the South West, and the area is the second largest of the four unitary authorities of the West of England sub-region. The area of Kingswood, which borders Bristol, was a mining area and suffered through the decline of traditional industry. South Gloucestershire unitary authority area was formed in 1996 following the merger of Northavon District, a mainly rural area, and Kingswood Borough, a mainly urban area east of Bristol. Much of the recent and projected growth is a result of the building of large new housing estates and the arrival into the area of large employers such as the MOD and Friends Life Insurance (formerly AXA). The voluntary sector has developed in recent years and CVS South Gloucestershire is now well established and supported by the Local Authority, and works in partnership with other statutory agencies and community anchor organisations to support groups across the area.

  • Infrastructure Delivery Plan (March 2014)
    South Gloucestershire Infrastructure Delivery Plan March 2014 Infrastructure Delivery Statement – Supporting Explanation Planning for infrastructure to meet existing deficiencies and future growth is a high priority for the Council. It therefore continues to work closely with its development partners, the West of England Partnership (4UAs) and other statutory and non-statutory organisations to identify and bring forward new and improve existing infrastructure. The information shown in the following matrix reflects the current position at the time of writing [March 2014] based on information available to the Council. The IDP is thus subject to continual update and review as new information becomes available. It is proposed therefore that it is a 'living document'. The IDP matrix should be read in conjunction with the supporting Evidence Appendices. The following tables give a broad indication of the planned provision, cost and need for infrastructure in South Gloucestershire (to 2027). It sets out planned infrastructure to meet existing deficiencies where information is available, plus that required to meet growth as set out in the South Gloucestershire Local Plan 2006 & Core Strategy (Dec 2013). It thereby indicates requirements for additional infrastructure which would not have been necessary but for the implementation of the proposed development. Where available, items contained within existing S106 agreements for major development sites (or agreements in advanced states of negotiation) have been reflected. For clarity these major sites are Emersons Green Science Park, Charlton Hayes, Harry Stoke, Emersons Green East, Park Farm –Thornbury, North Yate New Neighbourhood & University of the West of England. These sites may from time to time, be subject to change due to negotiation and viability testing instigated by the respective developers.
