South Gloucestershire

South Gloucestershire extends from the River Severn estuary to the Cotswolds uplands, encompassing industrial zones, residential areas, and agricultural lands across 497 square kilometers.

The district formed in 1996 through the merger of Kingswood and Northavon districts, establishing an independent unitary authority from Gloucestershire County Council.

The district maintains multiple community centers that organize regular events, festivals, and educational programs connecting residents from different neighborhoods throughout the year.

The Civic Centre in Kingswood serves as the main administrative hub where residents can access council services, planning applications, and community support programs.

The region contains the Oldbury nuclear power station near the Severn estuary and produces strontium sulfate through quarrying operations near Yate.
