Severnside - Use of The Term To Cover Both Sides of The Estuary

Use of The Term To Cover Both Sides of The Estuary

The term has sometimes been used in attempts to coordinate planning and environmental policy across both English and Welsh sides of the estuary. In 1971, Severnside: A Feasibility Study prepared for the UK Department of the Environment and the Welsh Office addressed the possibility of substantial development and new infrastructure in the Bristol area, south east Wales and Gloucestershire.

The Standing Conference on Severnside Local Authorities (SCOSLA) was formed in 1982 by a number of local councils in England and Wales with a shared interest in proposals for a Severn barrage, and in other matters relating to the Severn estuary as a whole.

The term "Severnside Derby" is sometimes given to football matches between Cardiff City F.C. (in Wales) and Bristol City F.C. (in England).

Famous quotes containing the words term, cover, sides and/or estuary:

    Punks in their silly leather jackets are a cliché. I have never liked the term and have never discussed it. I just got on with it and got out of it when it became a competition.
    John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)

    Again we have here two distinctions that are no distinctions, but made to seem so by terms invented by I know not whom to cover ignorance, and blind the understanding of the reader: for it cannot be conceived that there is any liberty greater, than for a man to do what he will.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    I am slow to listen to criminations among friends, and never espouse their quarrels on either side. My sincere wish is that both sides will allow bygones to be bygones, and look to the present & future only.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    I see in you the estuary that enlarges and spreads itself grandly as it
    pours in the great sea.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
