Gloucestershire CA, Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire is a council area which forms the upper tier in a two-tier system of local government. The council area has a significantly different area to the historic county from which it takes its name, primarily because it does not include the south-west of the county, including northern Bristol, Yate and Thornbury. There are also several significant differences between the northern boundary of the council area compared to that of the historic county.
