  • Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership

    Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership

    Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership ‘Call for Evidence’ Response to Gloucestershire’s Local Industrial Strategy Page 1 of 54 Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs) were formed as part of the government’s 2011 white paper “The Natural Choice: Securing the value of nature”1. As part of a framework to strengthen local action to achieve the recovery of nature, LNPs were tasked to raise awareness about the vital services and benefits that a healthy natural environment brings for people, communities and the local economy. LNPs were to contribute to the green economy and complement Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), of which there is an expectation from government for LNPs and LEPs to form strong links that capture the value of nature. Here in Gloucestershire, the LNP is formed of over 30 organisations from public, private and third sector bodies from across the county, all working together as an informal partnership to recognise the importance of embedding nature's value in local decisions for the benefit of the nature, people and the economy. The GLNP Mission is to champion the essential role of Gloucestershire’s natural environment in sustaining a vibrant, healthy, prosperous economy and society. With a Vision of a healthy and valued natural environment, sustaining the economy and wellbeing of Gloucestershire. Our partnership provides a strong and innovative voice for the environment sector and is seen as a key partner in helping deliver the Gloucestershire County Council’s Strategy 2019-20222. We benefit from a solid working relationship with GFirst LEP, as well as all the District Councils.

    Frampton on Severn Lies on the East Bank of the River Severn Approximately Ten Miles South of Gloucester

    Frampton on Severn lies on the east bank of the river Severn approximately ten miles south of Gloucester. With a population of around 1200, it is the largest village in the Berkeley Vale and boasts the longest village green in England. Reputedly this was used as a practice area for medieval bowmen, was the site of a parliamentary garrison in 1643 and the local militia, formed in 1795 to combat the threat of invasion by Napoleon, regularly drilled up and down its half mile length. FRAMPTON REMEMBERS WW1 has been inspired by the Gloucestershire Remembers WW1 project. We shall look at the effects of the Great War on our village and its inhabitants by drawing on extensive archives from a number of public sources. We will combine these with the private records of the many families whose connections with the village are still maintained. THE WAR EFFORT Chocolate was considered to be a great morale booster during WW1. Cadbury Bros Ltd opened a factory in Frampton on Severn in 1916 which helped to produce chocolate for the soldiers in the trenches. Cadburys started up a number of recreational and sporting clubs in the village, many of which still exist today. German prisoners of war extracted gravel, making some into concrete building blocks. One of these became a memorial to a colleague who died. Gravel from Frampton was also used in the construction of Chepstow dockyard during the war. The gravel pits are now lakes which are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for their varied wildlife and habitat. SCHOOL LIFE The death of our pupil teacher, Frederick Robert Hitchings, was a bitter blow to those at school.

The NRA has a wide range o f responsibilities for the control of the water environment, in particular: • conservation of water resources • pollution control • flood defence and flood warning • maintenance and improvements o f fisheries • nature conservation in water related habitats • promotion of water based recreation • control of navigation in some areas CATCHMENT The NRA’s vision for the future is of a healthy and diverse water MANAGEMENT PLANNING environment managed in an environmentally sustainable way balancing the needs of all users of water. To achieve this vision, the NRA is taking an integrated approach (ie bringing together its own activities and those of other groups and organisations) to management o f river catchments. A river catchment is an area of land which is drained by a river system.

Geology of the Bristol District, Geologists’ Association Guide No. 75. It is not to be circulated or duplicated beyond the instructor and their class.

Benton Maps OS Landranger 172 1:50 000 Bristol & Bath Explorer 167 1:25 000 Thornbury, Dursley & Yate BGS Sheet 250 1:50 000 Chepstow Main references Swift & Martill (1999); Allard et al. (2015); Cross et al. (2018). Objectives The purpose of the excursion is to examine a classic section that documents the major environmental shift from terrestrial to marine rocks caused by the Rhaetian transgression, as well as the Triassic-Jurassic boundary, and to sample the rich fossil faunas, and espe- cially the Rhaetian bone beds. Risk analysis Low tides are essential for the excursion to Aust Cliff. Tides rise very rapidly along this section of coast (with a tidal range of about 12 m) and strong currents sweep past the bridge abutment. Visitors should begin the excursion on a falling tide. If caught on the east side of the bridge abutment when the tide rises, visitors should continue east along the coast to the end of the cliff where a path leads back to the motorway service area. In addition, the entire section is a high cliff, and rock falls are frequent, so hard hats must be worn. The Manor Farm section lies inland and is lower, so hard hats are less necessary.
