The geographical term Severnside refers to an area adjoining or straddling the River Severn or its estuary in Great Britain. The term is used by different organisations, in different contexts, to refer to quite different areas. The Severn passes through both England and Wales, in some places forming the boundary between the two. Some uses of "Severnside" relate to areas on both sides of the river, and others only to one or other side. It generally refers to the cities on either side of the Severn Estuary. These include Cardiff, Newport and Bristol. ==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.〔http://www.bopcris.ac.uk/bopall/ref12542.html〕 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,〔(Standing Conference on Severnside Local Authorities )〕 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). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Severnside」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
