Shopping facilities at Emersons Green

Coal was mined from the area during the 19th century.^[1] To the south there is a quarry, which has been reactivated.

A Science and Technology park, in conjunction with Bristol University and University of the West of England, named 'SPark', has been built on an area of land adjacent to the M4 motorway and the A4174 ringroad.^[2] Construction of the £300 million Bristol and Bath Science Park began in early 2010. A link road connecting the M4 to the Avon ring road (A4174) has now been considered a necessary addition to the area, to accommodate the increase in traffic due to the Science Park. SPark opened in September 2011^[3] and is expected to create 6,000 new jobs within the science and technology sector, when it is completed in 2020.

Governance

Emersons Green since 2015 is also the replacement name of the Mangotsfield Rural parish, consisting of 4 ward areas: Badminton, Blackhorse, Pomphrey (3 Councillors each) and Emersons Green itself (7 councillors)

The boundaries of the parish were adjusted to take in the housing development at Lyde Green, and the Science Park. The M4 motorway is now the north eastern boundary.^[4]
