### 00:31:33 Stuart Bacon: My response from Simon to a request for our local data.

Thanks for the email Stuart.

Both CC and DC will have a lot of GIS data, some of which might be open-data ready to download or in Parish Online already.

Please could you be a bit more perscriptive as to the data that you would like to see in Parish Online, and I will see what I can do for you.

Regards

Simon&#x20;
