    A Forgotten Landscape

    Crossing the Severn A Forgotten Landscape School Learning Resources Crossing the Severn Objectives :- To describe how people and animals have crossed the river Severn in the past and present. To create, design and build an innovative way of crossing the Severn. School Learning Resources Under and Over Under and Over - Tiny water voles burrow under the reens that drain the forgotten landscape and the two Severn crossings carry thousands of people over the Severn every day. Starlings and sparrowhawks get a birds’ eye view of the estuary while fossils lie just underneath its surface. School Learning Resources Make your Severn crossing You are going to design and make a new innovative way to cross the river Severn. You need to use the materials provided to create a model of your design. Your model must be able to support the lego man across the river. When you have you model come back and test it. School Learning Resources Your design Look at the following slides and take inspiration from designs from the past, present and future. Think about whether you will go under or over the river, whether you will use the water or try to keep dry. School Learning Resources Over - Second Severn Crossing Over - Severn Bridge Under - The Severn Railway Tunnel School Learning Resources Severn Bridge The Severn Bridge is a suspension bridge, carrying the M48 across the river Severn and river Wye. It leaves Aust and arrives in Chepstow, via support in Beachley on a peninsula. The bridge replaced the Aust ferry in 1966, and was granted Grade 1 listed status in 1999.

The Environment Agency We are the Environment Agency. We protect and improve the environment and make it a better place for people and wildlife. We operate at the place where environmental change has its greatest impact on people’s lives. We reduce the risks to people and properties from flooding; make sure there is enough water for people and wildlife; protect and improve air, land and water quality and apply the environmental standards within which industry can operate. Acting to reduce climate change and helping people and wildlife adapt to its consequences are at the heart of all that we do. We cannot do this alone. We work closely with a wide range of partners including government, business, local authorities, other agencies, civil society groups and the communities we serve Natural Resources Wales Our purpose is to ensure that the natural resources of Wales are sustainably maintained, used and enhanced, now and in the future We will work for the communities of Wales to protect people and their homes as much as possible from environmental incidents like flooding and pollution.

    The Value of Water Level Management TRANSPORTATION NETWORK ©iStockphoto.com LeadingLights ©iStockphoto.com ada INTRODUCTION Foreword from the Chairman This report emphasises the importance of water level management in ensuring the security of the transportation network in England and Wales. Furthermore, it highlights the interconnectivity of the transportation network, and the important role Internal Drainage Boards (IDBs) play in continuing to keep the country, and the economy, moving. “…the interconnected nature of its networks...lends resilience to the sector. However, the “ “ scale and exposed nature of the network leaves it vulnerable to some significant risk.” 2012 Sector Resilience Plan for Critical Infrastructure, Cabinet Office Britain currently faces a number of stresses: a growing population, climate change and a large budgetary deficit. To meet these challenges we need an economically competitive Britain. For any society this must start with ensuring that fundamental building blocks for growth and prosperity are in place. Transport is one of those crucial building blocks. As a nation we are renewing and improving our transportation networks; Crossrail is currently being built underneath Central London; plans are in place for a new Forth crossing (Queensferry Crossing) and for HS2. But new projects are just part of the picture, at the same time we must do what we can to preserve and enhance our existing infrastructure. The flooding experienced across England in November 2012 is a timely reminder about the impact our weather and climate can have on our ability to move people and freight about our country. ADA and its members play their part in helping keep the country moving, regardless of the mode of transportation.

  • Covid Weekly Testing Unit Hawkesbury Village Hall

    Covid Weekly Testing Unit Hawkesbury Village Hall

    Twice Weekly Covid-19 Testing Kits Will Be Available Through Mobile Facility in Communities Across South Gloucestershire We are introducing a mobile option that will take rapid (lateral flow) asymptomatic testing kits to communities across South Gloucestershire, as part of our support for all residents over the age of 16 without symptoms, who are now being encouraged to take twice weekly tests. A specially equipped vehicle will visit up to 14 locations across the district each week, giving people the option of collecting testing kits to complete at home, as well as the opportunity to take a test with guidance from trained staff if you are unfamiliar with the process. This programme will begin on Saturday 15 May, with visits to Kingswood and Thornbury High Streets. Testing is a central pillar, alongside the continued roll-out of the vaccine, and effective local contact tracing including supporting those who need to self-isolate, that will mean we can live safely with Covid-19 over the coming months. Together these steps, combined with individuals following the guidance on social distancing, hand hygiene, face coverings and fresh air, will help us along the road map out of restrictions and enable us to live safely with the coronavirus into the future. The Government is encouraging all residents over the age of 16, who do not have Covid-19 symptoms, to make regular, twice weekly testing, using rapid home test kits, part of their routine as we enjoy the increased opportunities to get out and mix safely with more people. The mobile offer will visit sites across the district regularly, including rural areas such as Hawkesbury, Marshfield, Severn Beach and Pucklechurch, as well as communities in Thornbury, Charfield, Cadbury Heath, Emersons Green and Patchway.

    Inquiry Into the Priorities for the Future of Welsh Rail Infrastructure

    Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru National Assembly for Wales Y Pwyllgor Menter a Busnes Enterprise and Business Committee Ymchwiliad i’r Blaenoriaethau ar gyfer Inquiry into the Priorities for the future dyfodol Seilwaith y Rheilffyrdd yng of Welsh Rail Infrastructure Nghymru WRI 11 WRI 11 Cyngor Sir Swydd Gaerloyw Gloucestershire County Council Strategic Planning Shire Hall Gloucester GL1 2TH [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam National Assembly for Wales - Inquiry into the Priorities for the future of Welsh Rail Infrastructure I have been made aware of the above Inquiry. On behalf of Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) I have the following officer comments to make. GCC’s main interest is the Maesteg/Cardiff to Gloucester/Cheltenham service operated by Arriva Trains Wales (ATW) and Lydney station also operated by ATW. Lydney is the only main line railway station within the Forest of Dean and as such is an important component of the area’s infrastructure providing sustainable transport options for residents and visitors alike. Lydney has an allocation of approximately 1900 houses along with additional employment land up to 2026 in their Adopted Core Strategy. Consequently, investment in local rail infrastructure is essential to enable sustainable growth and provide connectivity to the wider area. I have confined my comments to the questions below and they reflect the County’s position as a neighbouring ‘border’ authority. High level priorities for the development of rail infrastructure to provide the capacity and connectivity necessary to support the social and economic well-being of Wales; Response Electrification of the valley lines around Cardiff will improve capacity and connectivity across the city and wider area as well as improving links to other areas of Wales and England including Gloucestershire.
