People living or working in Severnside are being asked how the area should look in the future.<\/p>\n
South Gloucestershire Council is\u00a0launching a six-week engagement period from Monday 13 June to discuss a vision for the rural and coastal communities of Severnside, as well as the Avonmouth Severnside Enterprise Area.<\/p>\n
The Severnside vision will look at aspirations for the next 30 years building on all its different strengths: the unique coastal environment and the strong economic and leisure sectors.<\/p>\n
The vision will cover infrastructure needs into the future such as transport, green spaces, local services and facilities, energy supply, digital connectivity, flood defences and other opportunities for growth.<\/p>\n
People who like to visit Severnside are also being encouraged to have their say on the area\u2019s future.<\/p>\n
Councillor Steve Reade, cabinet member responsible for regeneration, environment and strategic infrastructure at South Gloucestershire Council, said: \u201cSevernside is a unique part of South Gloucestershire offering coastal living, regional tourist attractions and providing a strategic hub for large employers such as Amazon and Tesco.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to build on the strengths and success of this area without damaging its distinctive character. I hope the local communities and those that work in the area join the conversation over the next six weeks and help us build an exciting vision for its future.\u201d<\/p>\n
South Gloucestershire Council is\u00a0inviting residents to two drop-in events where information on the Severnside vision will be available, and members of the project team will be on hand to answer questions.<\/p>\n
These events are taking place on:<\/p>\n
