  • 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.

  • Contaminated Land Is Affecting Controlled Waters and Their Quality, and Where the Environment Agency Will Also Have Other Concerns Under Other Legislation
    APPENDIX 1 Geology and Mineral Resources South Gloucestershire extends from the Severn Estuary in the East to the Cotswolds to the west. Geologically the area is very varied, having representations of nearly every Geological System exposed at the surface, the exceptions being the Ordovician and Cretaceous. Generally the older Palaeozoic rocks are exposed in the centre of South Gloucestershire, with younger Mesozoic rocks to the east and north- east. More recent estuarine alluvial deposits cover the Lowlands adjacent to the Severn Estuary in the west. In landscape terms much of South Gloucestershire is anomalous in that the outcrops of older and harder Palaeozoic rocks do not form uplands but are characterised by low undulating terrain. This is because much of the area formed part of an ancient erosion surface which was reduced to a low relief before the deposition of the Mesozoic strata. It is therefore the younger rocks, most notably limestones of Jurassic age, which form the highest land of South Gloucestershire, that being the Cotswold escarpment to the east. - 88 - Figure 3 - Simplified Geology of South Gloucestershire showing sites of mineral extraction - 89 - The alluvial flatlands adjacent to the Severn Estuary are extensive and form a distinctly contrasting landscape to that of the central and eastern parts of South Gloucestershire. Flat pastures predominate, bounded by drainage ditches, known locally as ‘rhines’. Rarely does the land in this area rise above 6 metres AOD. Nearly all the rivers west of the Cotswold scarp flow into the Severn Estuary, whereas those which follow the dip slope to the east, other than the Bristol Avon which detours to the west, join the River Thames.

  • Bradley Stoke Surgery Is Committed to a Green Travel Policy
    Bradley Stoke Surgery is committed to a Green Travel Policy We would like to see as many staff and patients walking to the Surgery, riding their bikes or using public transport. BIKING Have you thought about riding your bike to work or to your appointments? There is now a general consensus amongst researchers that active travel is the easiest way for people to build everyday activity into their lives. Maps for cycle routes across South Gloucestershire can be downloaded for the Better By Bike website: www.betterbybike.info/ JOURNEY PLANNING There is a West of England Joint Local Transport Plan and its website is www.westofengland.org If you need help to plan your journey there is an excellent journey planner which provides details of any journey between two points in the Bristol area, by bus and or rail. It can be used by patients and staff to find bus number times and train routes. A telephone information service for local travel information is also available from Traveline on 0870 608 2608 WALKING There are many benefits of walking so please think about walking to the Surgery if you live within a few miles. The benefits are: Walking is free Walking is good for you – it is a gentle but robust form of exercise and as part of a regular routine can help to keep weight down and maintain fitness Walkers are independent – they do not relay on other people to get around Walking is reliable – allowing accurate predications of journey times and hence time of arrival to be made Further information about walking in the Bristol area can be found at www.bristol.gov.uk healthy living section.
