48 00:33:27.280 --> 00:33:34.249 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So, David, good afternoon to you. Pride of place goes to you as I imagine you arrived with a specific purpose.
49 00:33:38.890 --> 00:33:40.810 David Newman: One to hear the.
50 00:33:41.530 --> 00:33:51.540 David Newman: I suppose the examples from you were going to show from other parish councils, and a particular question. If you have
51 00:33:52.060 --> 00:34:00.609 David Newman: forms on Ark using Arcgis collected. Is there a way of getting that into parish online?
52 00:34:01.820 --> 00:34:11.849 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Yes, you. You need to get them to export it. Via the support team at geosphere, because they can export it as a shapefile.
53 00:34:12.060 --> 00:34:25.430 Graham Stoddart-Stones: or almost anything. In fact, just a straightforward Csv file you can import into parish online. But although we can import files in Xmap, you have to ask geosphere to do it for you for parish online.
54 00:34:26.260 --> 00:34:27.330 David Newman: Yes, because.
55 00:34:27.330 --> 00:34:28.050 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Readily done.
56 00:34:28.050 --> 00:34:30.629 David Newman: He's yes, we're going to say we've got some
57 00:34:30.850 --> 00:34:39.650 David Newman: forms for our neighborhood planning where we go to a particular place, fill in the form, and it records that place so.
58 00:34:40.469 --> 00:34:43.489 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Right. But did you say it was an Arcgis format?
59 00:34:43.579 --> 00:34:44.649 David Newman: Yes.
60 00:34:44.650 --> 00:34:51.790 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Yeah, that's fine. I think all you need to do is to either ask open a ticket with geosphere
61 00:34:52.501 --> 00:34:57.490 Graham Stoddart-Stones: or just send them the file if you've got it, and they'll import it for you.
62 00:34:59.261 --> 00:35:03.600 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So are you familiar with just emailing support@geosphere.com.
63 00:35:04.815 --> 00:35:05.230 David Newman: No.
64 00:35:05.230 --> 00:35:18.460 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, that's your email address, and that's GEOX, PHER. E. support@geosphere.com, and that automatically opens a ticket for you, and then the ticket will be whatever subject you put into the email.
65 00:35:18.690 --> 00:35:19.340 David Newman: But.
66 00:35:19.650 --> 00:35:22.430 Graham Stoddart-Stones: But I recommend that. And
67 00:35:22.700 --> 00:35:31.380 Graham Stoddart-Stones: when he gets off the phone example of what other councils are using today is free to talk to us. So good afternoon, Bob.
68 00:35:32.040 --> 00:35:34.580 Bob Grainger: Hello! Everybody! Good afternoon!
69 00:35:34.580 --> 00:35:36.319 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Nice to see you.
70 00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:39.689 Bob Grainger: But again, as usual, Graham, I need to leave by about 2 30.
71 00:35:39.690 --> 00:35:42.320 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, we better ask Stuart if he'd get racing on. Then.
72 00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:46.789 Stuart Bacon: Unless unless Bob's got any pressing questions that need answering first.st
73 00:35:46.790 --> 00:35:48.949 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Good good point, good point.
74 00:35:49.667 --> 00:35:52.760 Bob Grainger: Just only one discovered a new
75 00:35:53.000 --> 00:36:03.169 Bob Grainger: website the other day doing some research on flooding locally. And that's the government. It's not on the environment agency website. It's on the.gov.uk, long-term flood risk.
76 00:36:03.950 --> 00:36:10.200 Bob Grainger: And it actually gives different results to the environment agency website. It just might be worth having a good look at.
77 00:36:10.630 --> 00:36:11.760 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Okay, would you like to.
78 00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:14.330 Andrew Clegg: What is it? Bobby? Put it on.
79 00:36:14.330 --> 00:36:24.520 Bob Grainger: I'm not able to share my screen at the moment. But if you if you just got type in a search bar long term flood risk. Okay, you come up with a government website.
80 00:36:24.860 --> 00:36:26.560 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Can you access the chat, Bob?
81 00:36:26.870 --> 00:36:27.680 Bob Grainger: Yes.
82 00:36:27.680 --> 00:36:29.110 Graham Stoddart-Stones: You can just stick the link in there.
83 00:36:29.110 --> 00:36:30.801 Bob Grainger: Hang on, then hang on.
84 00:36:40.060 --> 00:36:41.799 Andrew Clegg: I've done it for you, Bob.
85 00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:47.230 Andrew Clegg: Okay, all right. Thank you. I'm just saying. And we all thought you were asleep.
86 00:36:47.620 --> 00:36:49.550 Andrew Clegg: No, no, I'm awake.
87 00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:51.500 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Alright!
88 00:36:52.260 --> 00:36:54.340 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, thank you for that, and.
89 00:36:54.340 --> 00:36:54.870 Bob Grainger: But it's quite.
90 00:36:54.870 --> 00:36:55.470 Graham Stoddart-Stones: And we'll get it.
91 00:36:55.470 --> 00:37:11.749 Bob Grainger: It's quite interesting. And I've just had a flood risk survey done and been told that in the last few months the Environment Agency have increased their predictions by 20% to allow for global warming and the new long term flood risk site, which is still in
92 00:37:12.010 --> 00:37:19.810 Bob Grainger: trial stage is not finalized, yet also gives you, as well as the frequency gives you the the suggested depth of flooding, which is really useful.
93 00:37:19.810 --> 00:37:20.670 Andrew Clegg: Oh!
94 00:37:21.020 --> 00:37:25.870 Graham Stoddart-Stones: That's very good. So are you going to suggest that geosphere imported.
95 00:37:25.870 --> 00:37:41.030 Bob Grainger: Yes, I do, but I was just raising it here first.st I mean, it's not but I it seems like the sort of it's it's not as it they look at long term. So they look at up until 2030, I think, is current, and anything beyond 2030 is long term.
96 00:37:42.150 --> 00:38:07.920 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, I have some good news for people who tend to open tickets with geosphere. The local Parish council here is looking to redesign the recreation ground, and they want to renew all the children's play areas, and they want to do adult exercise stations and so forth. And I said I would be delighted to lay it all out in parish online.
97 00:38:08.090 --> 00:38:14.780 Graham Stoddart-Stones: and then discovered that the only icon that the parish online give you for playgrounds is a slide.
98 00:38:15.020 --> 00:38:44.069 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So I wrote to them and said, Can we please have swing sets and seesaws, and Teeter totters and roundabouts, and all the rest of it, and a very nice guy called Adam, came back and said, sure, he said, I've got those 8 that you mentioned. Are there any others? So I sent him a catalogue from one of the playground supplier organizations that was full of them, and said, Can you take your pick of forts and and balance beams and all sorts of things.
99 00:38:45.980 --> 00:38:46.740 Andrew Clegg: A gibbet.
100 00:38:46.740 --> 00:38:48.040 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, I think it stunned him in.
101 00:38:48.970 --> 00:39:04.330 Graham Stoddart-Stones: I then got a reply from Chris Muse, saying, it's a great idea. We're revising all of the icons, and we promise to get to you in due course. It was a very nice, positive answer, anyway.
102 00:39:04.850 --> 00:39:06.839 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Good afternoon to Susan.
103 00:39:07.750 --> 00:39:11.879 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Did you arrive with a specific question you wanted, answered Susan.
104 00:39:13.510 --> 00:39:19.549 Susan McKeown: No, no, not yet. I'm just having to listen and see what's happening. If that's okay with yourselves.
105 00:39:19.550 --> 00:39:26.519 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Yeah, Stuart is desperate for us to delay his starting, but get going. So it's all yours.
106 00:39:27.240 --> 00:39:31.050 Stuart Bacon: Okay. Well done. I best get on with it. Then, thanks.
107 00:39:31.770 --> 00:39:32.490 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Sorry.
108 00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:40.369 Stuart Bacon: Okay? Well, yes. Let me find my screen, and then I can.
109 00:39:41.140 --> 00:39:42.180 Stuart Bacon: Sure.
110 00:39:42.530 --> 00:39:43.616 Stuart Bacon: All right.
111 00:39:45.890 --> 00:39:51.140 Stuart Bacon: Right. So what you should see at the moment is the village.
112 00:39:52.041 --> 00:40:02.980 Stuart Bacon: and then within my parish layers. I've got couple of layers for festive lighting.
113 00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:04.620 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Fantastic.
114 00:40:06.890 --> 00:40:09.830 Stuart Bacon: Now it also ties in.
115 00:40:10.405 --> 00:40:13.770 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, I don't need it at the moment, but I will
116 00:40:14.300 --> 00:40:17.219 Stuart Bacon: flick some of the layers on and off in a moment.
117 00:40:18.115 --> 00:40:27.010 Stuart Bacon: I guess the reason I I looked at this was thinking resilience when I
118 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:38.399 Stuart Bacon: injured my back, and whatever this year. It was quite helpful, actually, that we'd got all of the the information readily already. In parish online
119 00:40:38.520 --> 00:40:48.103 Stuart Bacon: for the teams to sort of know what the requirements were when I wasn't necessarily able to to get out and help
120 00:40:49.940 --> 00:40:55.343 Stuart Bacon: So yeah, we we have a collection of
121 00:40:56.660 --> 00:41:13.127 Stuart Bacon: sort of Christmas displays throughout the the village 2 Christmas trees, and then light up a few other trees and whatever around the village as well. I've marked in things sort of within the detail.
122 00:41:14.110 --> 00:41:16.418 Stuart Bacon: you can see sort of
123 00:41:18.210 --> 00:41:21.389 Stuart Bacon: the diameter of the the tree sleeve.
124 00:41:22.077 --> 00:41:24.820 Stuart Bacon: That the the trees fit into
125 00:41:25.380 --> 00:41:39.419 Stuart Bacon: that is different for each of the 2 trees that we've got. So it it helps to remind us as to what it is, and then you haven't got to keep going out and remeasuring it each year. When
126 00:41:40.570 --> 00:41:43.624 Stuart Bacon: yeah, when you need to sort of fit anything in
127 00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:49.350 Stuart Bacon: working out sort of the the number of sets of lights and whatever we need to
128 00:41:49.600 --> 00:41:59.352 Stuart Bacon: properly sort of set the the tree alight. Yeah. Helps in in prepping and planning and organizing as well.
129 00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:03.909 Graham Stoddart-Stones: The the things that you've got there like cones.
130 00:42:04.090 --> 00:42:06.370 Graham Stoddart-Stones: or is it? Yes, the number of cones are these.
131 00:42:06.370 --> 00:42:13.199 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, the number of kinds, I I guess, for for the installation here. It requires a
132 00:42:14.229 --> 00:42:18.321 Stuart Bacon: a a big lifting device, and whatever to get the
133 00:42:20.900 --> 00:42:28.933 Stuart Bacon: to get the tree up onto the the Memorial garden, because this is actually it's a raised
134 00:42:30.500 --> 00:42:54.070 Stuart Bacon: memorial garden area. And whatever higher than the pavement. So yeah, we have to get the the big, heavy kit in to lift the tree into place, and it's just how many cones we need to bring down, just to be able to temporarily close the road, or how and create a working area for us while we're putting the
135 00:42:54.750 --> 00:43:09.040 Stuart Bacon: the lights on, and either using the the cherry picker to install the lights or for the yeah, the equipment, and whatever to install it the tree in the 1st place, so that we we prep and organize and think about these things. And
136 00:43:09.160 --> 00:43:10.400 Stuart Bacon: it's just yeah.
137 00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.730 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Really useful, isn't it? So that they know exactly what to take and where? Yeah.
138 00:43:15.150 --> 00:43:21.590 Graham Stoddart-Stones: I must say, I'm delighted to see you using traffic cones. I thought these were something you're going to put on the tree as a snow cone or something.
139 00:43:25.030 --> 00:43:25.880 Stuart Bacon: No
140 00:43:27.370 --> 00:43:32.649 Stuart Bacon: But yeah, I've I've I guess at the moment I've got 2 layers on.
141 00:43:33.720 --> 00:43:34.530 Stuart Bacon: Oh, look
142 00:43:35.245 --> 00:43:42.810 Stuart Bacon: for the display, and it's it's more appropriate over here with the lights on the green
143 00:43:43.536 --> 00:43:45.970 Stuart Bacon: where we can see where
144 00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:57.999 Stuart Bacon: there's a a point layer and a line layer for for Christmas lights, just to show how and where the
145 00:43:58.190 --> 00:44:01.520 Stuart Bacon: the power lines run to sort of
146 00:44:01.770 --> 00:44:12.999 Stuart Bacon: get into each each of the trees, and how our best to sort of manage those that works great. But then, when we come up to, why did that move over there?
147 00:44:13.200 --> 00:44:21.130 Stuart Bacon: That's a good one come up to the school and look at sort of the roots there.
148 00:44:23.090 --> 00:44:30.560 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, people could try running it out of the tree, but it puts too much load into
149 00:44:31.248 --> 00:44:33.700 Stuart Bacon: into the tree and stops the
150 00:44:34.140 --> 00:44:38.709 Stuart Bacon: stops it working. If we run it the other way around. And
151 00:44:39.010 --> 00:44:44.399 Stuart Bacon: we haven't got enough extension leads of the type of lights. These are to run it
152 00:44:44.750 --> 00:44:47.290 Stuart Bacon: the other way. So it goes straight and
153 00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:49.629 Stuart Bacon: makes life a lot less asshole.
154 00:44:50.260 --> 00:44:50.830 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Interesting.
155 00:44:53.415 --> 00:44:58.310 Stuart Bacon: But yeah, that was just one of them. And
156 00:44:59.520 --> 00:45:07.429 Stuart Bacon: I guess, yeah, as I say, it's it's 1 of those where, as we look at it, and look at where we can
157 00:45:10.700 --> 00:45:17.080 Stuart Bacon: where we can think of sort of having lights in the future. I've also got a layer
158 00:45:17.290 --> 00:45:24.919 Stuart Bacon: that looks at all of the streetlights. In the village as well. So knowing where
159 00:45:25.450 --> 00:45:35.120 Stuart Bacon: knowing where the streetlights are when you're looking at Christmas lights is really helpful to know where you can obviously sort of power these things potentially from. And
160 00:45:35.240 --> 00:45:44.939 Stuart Bacon: yeah, obviously, in and around the school. The only legitimate use is from the school building. Because all the streetlights are on the wrong side of the road.
161 00:45:45.750 --> 00:45:46.500 Stuart Bacon: Okay.
162 00:45:46.500 --> 00:45:53.399 Graham Stoddart-Stones: How do you have access to the power that's coming into the street light? Is there a way to get for you to get into it?
163 00:45:54.865 --> 00:46:11.520 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, you can. You can get with agreement from highways if it's or whoever the streetlight operator is. In in our case, it being highways, they can install a socket up the
164 00:46:11.710 --> 00:46:16.649 Stuart Bacon: streetlight so that you can plug into that and run your your lights from that. So we've got
165 00:46:16.780 --> 00:46:23.960 Stuart Bacon: no no ability there. But down here. Excuse me. Sorry. Just as I scroll around
166 00:46:24.630 --> 00:46:36.890 Stuart Bacon: on Lc. One at the at the village green. We we plug into a street light on the corner here, and run into the trees on the green
167 00:46:37.040 --> 00:46:38.489 Stuart Bacon: from that location.
168 00:46:38.630 --> 00:46:44.920 Graham Stoddart-Stones: That's fantastic. What a great arrangement! And did that is that hard to get out of highways? Were they doing it all the time?
169 00:46:46.710 --> 00:46:52.910 Stuart Bacon: We've had to pay, I think. 256 pounds to get the
170 00:46:53.749 --> 00:47:01.831 Stuart Bacon: get the module installed into the street light. In the 1st place. Then, once it's in situ.
171 00:47:02.500 --> 00:47:05.991 Stuart Bacon: we just have to inform
172 00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:21.037 Stuart Bacon: national grid. As to what the the usage levels is because it's all on an unmetered supply. So you have to work out what your usage levels are gonna be in advance based on the the number of
173 00:47:21.860 --> 00:47:34.230 Stuart Bacon: burn hours you're likely to have from the lights and operating, and whatever and pass that to national grid, and they'll sort of charge you as though it was coming through a metered supply. But.
174 00:47:34.570 --> 00:47:35.190 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Huh?
175 00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:36.649 Graham Stoddart-Stones: It's very interesting.
176 00:47:39.030 --> 00:47:41.850 Bob Grainger: A query for me.
177 00:47:42.150 --> 00:47:52.650 Bob Grainger: Yeah, Stuart, I'm I'm interested. So your parish, the the streetlights there are not owned and operated by your Parish Council are owned by the by, the unitary county authority, presumably.
178 00:47:52.650 --> 00:47:53.310 Stuart Bacon: Correct.
179 00:47:54.030 --> 00:48:02.649 Bob Grainger: Okay? So why? Well, 1st of all, who makes a connection into this street light, is it your guys, or is it the people from the county.
180 00:48:03.795 --> 00:48:09.433 Stuart Bacon: The the initial connection, as I say, to put the
181 00:48:10.700 --> 00:48:19.540 Stuart Bacon: to put the socket into the into the street light in the very 1st instance. Yeah. Has to be county to do that.
182 00:48:19.990 --> 00:48:24.337 Stuart Bacon: But then that effectively just leaves a an external
183 00:48:24.990 --> 00:48:28.430 Stuart Bacon: It's 1 of the 3 PIN like caravan sockets, and whatever that they put into the.
184 00:48:28.430 --> 00:48:49.220 Bob Grainger: I understand that it's easy. The reason why I went down there is that when you do any work on streetlights, you probably know there is a specific electrical qualification that the person doing the installation work must have. It is very specific to streetlights only, which is a requirement for all work on street and columns, and the other one is surprised to say that it's the Parish Council
185 00:48:49.410 --> 00:48:55.843 Bob Grainger: that that would contact the Dns, the distribution network supplier
186 00:48:56.500 --> 00:49:06.179 Bob Grainger: because the it's actually the County Council or unitary authority that own the non-meter supply account. And I'm surprised that the
187 00:49:06.560 --> 00:49:11.879 Bob Grainger: that your Dns does allows you to make that change.
188 00:49:12.690 --> 00:49:18.899 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, because they've they've asked us to set up our own automated supply account on top of the
189 00:49:19.150 --> 00:49:25.970 Stuart Bacon: one that the county have, so that we, even though it's running out of the the street, lights usage.
190 00:49:26.382 --> 00:49:32.670 Stuart Bacon: We. We have our own unlimited supply account, and whatever, and just have to notify as to what the usage is going to be.
191 00:49:32.670 --> 00:49:33.340 Bob Grainger: Okay.
192 00:49:33.796 --> 00:49:43.380 Stuart Bacon: In terms of what you were saying with the the certification. And whatever yeah, our guys we we've had.
193 00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:51.180 Stuart Bacon: Well, we've we've got a lighting engineer who's worked for county previously.
194 00:49:51.300 --> 00:49:55.633 Stuart Bacon: who plugs it in for us. And yeah, all all jobs are good.
195 00:49:56.300 --> 00:49:56.750 Bob Grainger: Good.
196 00:49:56.750 --> 00:49:57.380 Stuart Bacon: Yeah.
197 00:49:57.380 --> 00:50:02.860 Bob Grainger: I didn't mean I didn't mean to challenge you. I meant to be able to, in case in case you might have missed a trick.
198 00:50:02.860 --> 00:50:07.829 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, no, no, no, we're we're we're all we're all good.
199 00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:12.195 Stuart Bacon: The the team that install the lights, and whatever are all
200 00:50:13.210 --> 00:50:16.119 Stuart Bacon: lanter train for working in the highway and doing
201 00:50:16.635 --> 00:50:21.379 Stuart Bacon: and whatever as well. So it's it's all yeah well above board.
202 00:50:21.520 --> 00:50:22.220 Stuart Bacon: But.
203 00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:23.150 Graham Stoddart-Stones: When you're not.
204 00:50:23.150 --> 00:50:32.249 Bob Grainger: I. I only comment because we, because our county authority actually threatened us because they said we were stealing electricity.
205 00:50:33.620 --> 00:50:37.090 Bob Grainger: So so I became quite familiar with what was needed.
206 00:50:39.250 --> 00:50:43.820 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, no, we. We've we've gone about it the right way. And yeah, they they've
207 00:50:44.700 --> 00:50:50.356 Stuart Bacon: that. They gave the approval before we before we started so and it's
208 00:50:51.080 --> 00:50:53.619 Stuart Bacon: yeah, in perpetuity as well. Thankfully
209 00:50:54.175 --> 00:51:02.474 Stuart Bacon: the approval. So as long as we we just have to do a check every couple of years on the
210 00:51:02.980 --> 00:51:10.469 Stuart Bacon: on the what on the street column. Just to sort of yeah. Ensure that it's not gonna fall over because it's rotten or anything.
211 00:51:12.180 --> 00:51:13.369 Bob Grainger: Okay. Thank you.
212 00:51:13.900 --> 00:51:16.890 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Stuart. You got a question in the chat from David.
213 00:51:17.220 --> 00:51:19.920 Stuart Bacon: Oh, I've missed that one. Sorry I hadn't seen right.
214 00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:25.645 Stuart Bacon: I've got my screen over browser screen over that
215 00:51:30.490 --> 00:51:37.409 Stuart Bacon: How do we set up the form fields for these parish layers. Same way as any
216 00:51:38.645 --> 00:51:45.791 Stuart Bacon: anywhere. Really? When you the the easy way to go back to it. Sorry?
217 00:51:46.810 --> 00:51:54.350 Stuart Bacon: if I go into administration now, and within the festive lighting.
218 00:51:55.100 --> 00:52:04.100 Stuart Bacon: I can click on edit and then the the layers are
219 00:52:04.570 --> 00:52:07.970 Stuart Bacon: set up. Not only have I set up
220 00:52:08.070 --> 00:52:15.990 Stuart Bacon: sort of the the layers with a type to them relative to the type, to the the answer sort of scenario. I want
221 00:52:16.484 --> 00:52:18.410 Stuart Bacon: but we've also got some
222 00:52:18.660 --> 00:52:23.460 Stuart Bacon: pre-filled allocation types of what? The
223 00:52:24.745 --> 00:52:30.449 Stuart Bacon: yeah, what the answers might be that we're looking for for people to to fill in
224 00:52:31.786 --> 00:52:37.160 Stuart Bacon: which is, makes life quicker and easier as you fill the the form in going forward, and
225 00:52:37.590 --> 00:52:41.979 Stuart Bacon: ensures a bit of consistency in how it's all put in.
226 00:52:42.940 --> 00:52:45.040 Stuart Bacon: because I hope that answers your question.
227 00:52:48.820 --> 00:52:50.260 Stuart Bacon: Is that another question, Bob?
228 00:52:50.670 --> 00:52:57.099 Graham Stoddart-Stones: No, you got a thumbs up from David, so I guess you have answered the question, Stuart. Thank you.
229 00:52:59.708 --> 00:53:02.022 Stuart Bacon: But yeah, that was
230 00:53:03.950 --> 00:53:13.539 Graham Stoddart-Stones: You're much too keen to get rid of yourself. You couldn't go back to sharing your screen, could you? And just give us a look at the layers that you've got in your parish layers.
231 00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:16.550 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, bear with me again, because
232 00:53:16.660 --> 00:53:21.850 Stuart Bacon: for some reason it's all moved around. Where I left it is not there now.
233 00:53:22.180 --> 00:53:22.930 Graham Stoddart-Stones: And what
234 00:53:22.930 --> 00:53:32.210 Graham Stoddart-Stones: whilst you're doing that, I have a question for you, which is what happens to the sockets when they're not being used? Are they behind a plate of some sort? What stops other people.
235 00:53:32.845 --> 00:53:34.115 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, the.
236 00:53:34.890 --> 00:53:37.540 Stuart Bacon: I guess the it's the
237 00:53:40.100 --> 00:53:47.290 Stuart Bacon: the type of socket effectively. It's it's a round circular socket, whatever with 3 pins in.
238 00:53:47.990 --> 00:53:49.550 Stuart Bacon: can pull one up in a moment to.
239 00:53:49.550 --> 00:53:51.000 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, as you said, it was just like a regular.
240 00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:54.018 Stuart Bacon: And then it flips over with a
241 00:53:54.840 --> 00:54:02.210 Stuart Bacon: It's just a plastic cover over it that pulls down on a spring sort of thing when there's nothing in the socket.
242 00:54:02.510 --> 00:54:05.359 Graham Stoddart-Stones: What sort of height off the ground are we speaking.
243 00:54:06.253 --> 00:54:11.039 Stuart Bacon: They are, I think, 5 and a half metre minimums.
244 00:54:11.040 --> 00:54:11.519 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Oh, right!
245 00:54:11.520 --> 00:54:20.500 Stuart Bacon: So that to ensure that anything that comes out meets the minimum of 5.2 above the the street.
246 00:54:20.500 --> 00:54:21.180 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Right?
247 00:54:21.560 --> 00:54:22.330 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Right?
248 00:54:22.540 --> 00:54:23.500 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Thank you.
249 00:54:27.010 --> 00:54:30.039 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So what's an Fvnp proposal?
250 00:54:31.328 --> 00:54:38.009 Stuart Bacon: So Fvmp is the Foss villages neighbourhood plan.
251 00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:41.060 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Yes, that's right.
252 00:54:43.030 --> 00:54:47.320 Graham Stoddart-Stones: All those facilities who've got parish online but have no intentions of using it.
253 00:54:48.993 --> 00:54:53.429 Stuart Bacon: Well, no, they've they've used. Yeah, it's no.
254 00:54:53.570 --> 00:54:55.730 Stuart Bacon: A lot of them are just
255 00:54:57.340 --> 00:55:03.060 Stuart Bacon: being awkward at the moment. Yeah, I did. Yes.
256 00:55:03.980 --> 00:55:08.299 Stuart Bacon: we we could have a discussion. But I I as this is being recorded, let's not.
257 00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:20.239 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So hedgerow planting proposal. Is that sort of around one of your public areas, or.
258 00:55:20.240 --> 00:55:26.890 Stuart Bacon: Yeah. So okay, let's let's go back. And we can have a look. Hedgerow planting
259 00:55:30.410 --> 00:55:35.564 Stuart Bacon: adjacent to the M. 69 running through the
260 00:55:36.680 --> 00:55:39.370 Stuart Bacon: The village there are.
261 00:55:42.970 --> 00:55:44.350 Stuart Bacon: Where is it?
262 00:55:48.440 --> 00:55:54.080 Stuart Bacon: Within the defra details.
263 00:55:54.260 --> 00:55:59.209 Stuart Bacon: You can see when the noise comes towards the village.
264 00:55:59.430 --> 00:56:00.130 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Yeah.
265 00:56:00.630 --> 00:56:02.130 Stuart Bacon: From the motorway.
266 00:56:02.652 --> 00:56:08.940 Stuart Bacon: and part of our concern was the the area where the noise is growing the most.
267 00:56:10.060 --> 00:56:18.180 Stuart Bacon: It's an area where trees are missing. Along this section of the the motorway.
268 00:56:18.550 --> 00:56:19.120 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Right.
269 00:56:19.982 --> 00:56:22.999 Stuart Bacon: And and it's just bare bank.
270 00:56:24.043 --> 00:56:29.299 Stuart Bacon: So we we looked at sort of working with the
271 00:56:29.420 --> 00:56:41.259 Stuart Bacon: the quarry that operate the or own the fields against it, and they were willing to sort of look at planting some additional hedge
272 00:56:41.430 --> 00:56:46.795 Stuart Bacon: lines and whatever in there. So we've we've looked at.
273 00:56:47.350 --> 00:56:53.370 Stuart Bacon: yeah, what we can do in areas in our parish and and neighboring
274 00:56:53.844 --> 00:57:01.640 Stuart Bacon: to look at where planting is possible, to to improve the the scenario and reduce the the noise and impact on the
275 00:57:01.780 --> 00:57:02.820 Stuart Bacon: on the village.
276 00:57:03.330 --> 00:57:06.080 Graham Stoddart-Stones: I think that's really interesting. Thanks, Stuart.
277 00:57:09.170 --> 00:57:15.229 Graham Stoddart-Stones: and the noise, the the hedgerows down in the village itself will actually still have some effect on the noise.
278 00:57:16.290 --> 00:57:22.650 Stuart Bacon: Yes, I mean, there's also some planting we're considering around
279 00:57:23.510 --> 00:57:34.159 Stuart Bacon: a cemetery extension. That we're we're looking at building over the next few years, and starting on currently to sort of how we
280 00:57:34.740 --> 00:57:39.987 Stuart Bacon: reencapsulate that, because at the moment it's just a couple of
281 00:57:40.780 --> 00:57:59.209 Stuart Bacon: wooden posts and barbed wire fencing, and whatever which has been sufficient to keep things out while it's not a cemetery. But you need a bit more when the cemetery comes into operation because the cattle that are in the adjacent field we don't really want them in in a cemetery.
282 00:57:59.210 --> 00:58:04.600 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Yup interesting. So a national Bmx track is that something pretty spectacular.
283 00:58:05.322 --> 00:58:10.369 Stuart Bacon: At the moment. No, it it was
284 00:58:11.562 --> 00:58:18.189 Stuart Bacon: in November second of November 2020. It was closed.
285 00:58:19.708 --> 00:58:27.859 Stuart Bacon: The the area around the the leisure center. All of the fields and whatever there are a former landfill site.
286 00:58:28.784 --> 00:58:36.879 Stuart Bacon: And yeah, the the gassing out from that became quite problematic.
287 00:58:37.150 --> 00:58:43.110 Stuart Bacon: So there are a large number of boreholes.
288 00:58:43.746 --> 00:58:49.203 Stuart Bacon: I've only mapped out the ones that are on our land.
289 00:58:49.700 --> 00:58:50.260 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Huh!
290 00:58:50.260 --> 00:59:05.829 Stuart Bacon: And affect us. But yeah, there are a large number of boreholes there for different types of venting and water, checking and gas, checking
291 00:59:06.200 --> 00:59:20.129 Stuart Bacon: access to the extraction pipes, and whatever that are all vented in there. Some, some of which are under a pressurized system, some of which just.
292 00:59:20.390 --> 00:59:31.820 Stuart Bacon: I guess, have little rotating tops on them and blow the the wind out. Oh, but suck the the gas out as the wind blows round.
293 00:59:31.820 --> 00:59:33.839 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Like like you have our vans.
294 00:59:34.919 --> 00:59:38.719 Stuart Bacon: Ventilative hands you have on the top of vans. Yes, yeah, yeah.
295 00:59:39.660 --> 00:59:41.130 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Fascinating!
296 00:59:41.310 --> 00:59:43.010 Graham Stoddart-Stones: And what a flat.
297 00:59:43.010 --> 00:59:49.219 Stuart Bacon: So, yeah, the going back to the question. The Bmx track has been closed since then, and they are
298 00:59:49.500 --> 01:00:06.821 Stuart Bacon: currently that being evicted from the site for the the District Council to level the ground, because they're not happy with any potential for any spark or anything from the track, and whatever or the
299 01:00:08.350 --> 01:00:09.140 Stuart Bacon: yeah.
300 01:00:09.370 --> 01:00:09.820 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Wow!
301 01:00:09.820 --> 01:00:17.050 Stuart Bacon: Lights they've got, or anything that could sort of spark the methane into existence and blow the whole place to smithereens.
302 01:00:17.290 --> 01:00:24.360 Stuart Bacon: The fact that it's far, far below anything. Yeah, that could do that in terms of the the
303 01:00:24.700 --> 01:00:29.819 Stuart Bacon: and yeah, the levels of gas. But yeah, it's just.
304 01:00:29.820 --> 01:00:32.640 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Is there any attempt to capture the methane?
305 01:00:33.250 --> 01:00:43.670 Stuart Bacon: Well, there's a there's a flare stack there that to burn off what little they they can capture and do. But it's not a level where it can be of any
306 01:00:44.110 --> 01:00:50.739 Stuart Bacon: significant use for anything, because the the levels are are too low to be sort of
307 01:00:51.380 --> 01:00:53.419 Stuart Bacon: yeah food for for anything.
308 01:00:54.040 --> 01:00:57.129 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Very interesting, but would have known.
309 01:00:57.130 --> 01:00:58.529 Stuart Bacon: All should have been.
310 01:00:59.575 --> 01:01:02.115 Stuart Bacon: The the site was
311 01:01:03.040 --> 01:01:09.524 Stuart Bacon: The site was closed in 72 sorry site was closed in 68. As the
312 01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:15.989 Stuart Bacon: legislation changed in 72 to understand what went into all.
313 01:01:18.960 --> 01:01:29.760 Stuart Bacon: all of the 4, all of the the landfill sites, and whatever the records didn't have to exist before. 72, and so yeah, the there is no
314 01:01:30.140 --> 01:01:40.939 Stuart Bacon: true understanding of exactly what's in there. But when they've done testing, and whatever. It's been surprising. How
315 01:01:41.080 --> 01:01:44.471 Stuart Bacon: items of clothing, newspapers,
316 01:01:45.700 --> 01:01:59.009 Stuart Bacon: things like plastic bags and crisp packets, and whatever come out on the drills totally intact, not disturbed or broken down, or anything that have been in there since the
317 01:01:59.120 --> 01:02:00.640 Stuart Bacon: since the seventies. Huh!
318 01:02:00.640 --> 01:02:01.470 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Wow!
319 01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:09.464 Graham Stoddart-Stones: And one other thing that's caught my eye, Stuart is you've got
320 01:02:10.770 --> 01:02:16.330 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Go up a bit there, play your air possibilities is what you in over Solar Farm.
321 01:02:17.940 --> 01:02:19.920 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So come down here. You.
322 01:02:19.920 --> 01:02:33.109 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, okay, so that that one, I guess, fits in in terms of our planning proposals and understanding what development is proposed in and around
323 01:02:33.330 --> 01:02:38.960 Stuart Bacon: the the parish and the district as a whole.
324 01:02:38.960 --> 01:02:39.520 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Word.
325 01:02:39.853 --> 01:02:43.859 Stuart Bacon: I'll I'll come back to the the Solar Farm in a moment.
326 01:02:46.500 --> 01:02:47.160 Stuart Bacon: But.
327 01:02:47.160 --> 01:02:49.460 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Really is getting very busy, isn't it?
328 01:02:50.480 --> 01:02:53.300 Stuart Bacon: Where it is.
329 01:02:53.890 --> 01:02:54.959 Stuart Bacon: What is the map?
330 01:03:05.270 --> 01:03:07.930 Stuart Bacon: Okay, so that is the
331 01:03:09.540 --> 01:03:18.220 Stuart Bacon: the large red line boundary. There it defines the the fossil villages area. And so it's an understanding of where we are
332 01:03:19.490 --> 01:03:27.610 Stuart Bacon: within our neighborhood plan, which is a 11 parish combined neighborhood plan.
333 01:03:28.225 --> 01:03:31.059 Stuart Bacon: We looked at sort of how the
334 01:03:33.530 --> 01:03:44.170 Stuart Bacon: how, the, how, the proposed development, and whatever with the within the the District Council's planning could sort of affect the area. And we've mapped out
335 01:03:44.360 --> 01:03:59.159 Stuart Bacon: through the pictures in their plans. I've meticulously mapped out all of the the sites, and whatever from that, because they won't import into parish online their detail. So yeah, it's been a pain. But we've done
336 01:03:59.360 --> 01:04:06.360 Stuart Bacon: that. Got all of the sites. And now get an understanding of where we are with what
337 01:04:06.670 --> 01:04:14.080 Stuart Bacon: what development can happen in our in our individual parishes. We've got
338 01:04:15.650 --> 01:04:22.830 Stuart Bacon: a stage at the moment where Hun, O. 13 and the Bloors home site.
339 01:04:24.125 --> 01:04:27.980 Stuart Bacon: Excuse me, are currently coming forward with a hundred and
340 01:04:28.390 --> 01:04:33.170 Stuart Bacon: 94, and 154 houses respectively
341 01:04:34.308 --> 01:04:40.889 Stuart Bacon: for for development as well as proposals. For
342 01:04:41.240 --> 01:04:45.569 Stuart Bacon: a Solar farm on the northern boundary of the parish.
343 01:04:46.315 --> 01:04:49.240 Stuart Bacon: to tie in to the
344 01:04:49.380 --> 01:04:55.190 Stuart Bacon: the national grid site at Enderby, just around the corner.
345 01:04:55.830 --> 01:04:56.400 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Hmm.
346 01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:14.400 Stuart Bacon: And that that one potentially could earn us something in the region of 2.7 million
347 01:05:15.070 --> 01:05:18.740 Stuart Bacon: for the parish over 50 years
348 01:05:20.080 --> 01:05:28.510 Stuart Bacon: in community payments from the from the developer for allowing that to go ahead.
349 01:05:28.700 --> 01:05:33.240 Graham Stoddart-Stones: You know the capacity of that farm risky.
350 01:05:34.070 --> 01:05:37.750 Stuart Bacon: I've got it somewhere off the top of my head. I can't recall it.
351 01:05:38.130 --> 01:05:50.429 Graham Stoddart-Stones: I'm I'm just interested because we did a great collaboration banter session on Wednesday from a guy on the Isle of Wight who does indeed run a Solar farm, and he was pointing out that I think there are
352 01:05:50.880 --> 01:05:53.234 Graham Stoddart-Stones: a 40 megawatt
353 01:05:54.330 --> 01:06:05.579 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Solar Panel Farm, and they are generating 150,000 pounds a year, which sounds rather more than you're getting with 3 million over 10 years or 50 years, was it?
354 01:06:05.580 --> 01:06:09.459 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, 2.2 point 7 million over 50 years.
355 01:06:09.850 --> 01:06:12.090 Graham Stoddart-Stones: That sounds like a really bad bargain.
356 01:06:13.370 --> 01:06:16.889 Graham Stoddart-Stones: If we're getting a million every 10 years out of our little place.
357 01:06:17.100 --> 01:06:21.659 Graham Stoddart-Stones: then you should be getting a lot more than 3 million over 50 years.
358 01:06:21.660 --> 01:06:22.520 Stuart Bacon: No.
359 01:06:23.462 --> 01:06:40.240 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Anyway, I just interested because it's you know, it's a topic of conversation that we've been having. And the guy who runs the I. Energy is. It's a communal or a community energy company, which I think is very interesting. And we're talking about. You know, how do you
360 01:06:40.460 --> 01:06:52.000 Graham Stoddart-Stones: stop exporting electricity and make sure it stays locally into the community and and doesn't get lost in transmission losses or being exported to the
361 01:06:52.190 --> 01:07:00.339 Graham Stoddart-Stones: generated people because they pay something between 4 and 8 pence a kilowatt hour.
362 01:07:00.550 --> 01:07:04.920 Graham Stoddart-Stones: which is ridiculous when you consider what it must cost them to generate that
363 01:07:06.160 --> 01:07:06.830 Stuart Bacon: Okay.
364 01:07:07.350 --> 01:07:10.170 Graham Stoddart-Stones: But anyway, this is, I was intrigued to see.
365 01:07:10.170 --> 01:07:17.150 Stuart Bacon: Looking, looking at the details. It's 908 megawatts that that site will produce.
366 01:07:17.910 --> 01:07:24.950 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Right. So that's 20 times bigger than ours. But you're getting us a 3rd as much of the money. It doesn't sound like a good deal by somebody.
367 01:07:25.660 --> 01:07:28.249 Graham Stoddart-Stones: You should ask Mr. Trump to sort you out
368 01:07:31.140 --> 01:07:37.849 Stuart Bacon: It would be interesting, actually, if you could send me the details of that, and I can go back to them and try and renegotiate.
369 01:07:37.850 --> 01:07:40.730 Graham Stoddart-Stones: I will, because I've got the.
370 01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:43.440 Graham Stoddart-Stones: I've got a spreadsheet. That shows it all.
371 01:07:43.910 --> 01:07:45.900 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So. Yes, I'll send that to you.
372 01:07:46.100 --> 01:07:46.740 Stuart Bacon: Thank you.
373 01:07:46.910 --> 01:07:57.210 Graham Stoddart-Stones: And then the expression, I had, Stuart, because you're touching on all sorts of fascinating items here. Did you say the District Council is not sharing your their planning application with you.
374 01:07:58.910 --> 01:07:59.770 Stuart Bacon: Yes.
375 01:08:00.230 --> 01:08:02.140 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, they're not allowed to do that, are they?
376 01:08:04.290 --> 01:08:13.039 Stuart Bacon: No, they but they share, they don't. They don't share it into parish online with us. They they have the District Council have their own online
377 01:08:13.370 --> 01:08:17.479 Stuart Bacon: map of the planning applications whatever. And yeah.
378 01:08:18.109 --> 01:08:18.599 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Why?
379 01:08:18.600 --> 01:08:19.140 Stuart Bacon: Show me!
380 01:08:19.140 --> 01:08:22.060 Graham Stoddart-Stones: What's their objection to sharing it with parish online?
381 01:08:25.359 --> 01:08:30.159 Graham Stoddart-Stones: I'm just thinking that the legislation says they are required to give it to you in the most cost effective.
382 01:08:30.160 --> 01:08:31.720 Graham Stoddart-Stones: everyone available.
383 01:08:31.729 --> 01:08:36.489 Stuart Bacon: Yeah, no, but they're just sort of flatly refusing anything, and.
384 01:08:36.490 --> 01:08:37.060 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Bye.
385 01:08:37.510 --> 01:08:42.990 Stuart Bacon: When I've asked sort of geosphere to speak to them
386 01:08:43.100 --> 01:08:48.910 Stuart Bacon: that seems to fall on deaf ears as well, so I seem to be getting no from both sides of the line here.
387 01:08:49.990 --> 01:09:11.339 Graham Stoddart-Stones: See, this is where you're showing your age, Stuart. When you get to my grand age you move into rebellious mode, and you just throw freedom of Information Act charges at everybody, and it's extraordinary what the arrival of that legal piece of paper does. Suddenly people fall all over themselves to say, oh, I had no idea you'd find this of interest. We'd be delighted to help you
388 01:09:11.439 --> 01:09:25.780 Graham Stoddart-Stones: so. And really it's such a matter of education as much as anything else. I think that the more we can convince district and higher councils of the need to just simply export their Gis information
389 01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:27.300 Graham Stoddart-Stones: the further we get.
390 01:09:27.510 --> 01:09:32.339 Graham Stoddart-Stones: and I'm sorry I've been hugging the limelight. I see, David, you got a question so all for yours.
391 01:09:32.910 --> 01:09:37.410 David Newman: No, it was just on that very point where I live.
392 01:09:37.560 --> 01:09:40.560 David Newman: The District Council
393 01:09:41.140 --> 01:09:54.279 David Newman: basically doesn't do. Gis, the County Council does. So I get my help by going to the Gis person in the County Council. The district won't offer any help, so I get it from the county.
394 01:09:55.170 --> 01:10:00.649 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Right. But then again, so what on what grounds does the district not help.
395 01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:05.870 David Newman: Because they don't have anyone with the staff who can handle it in Gis.
396 01:10:05.870 --> 01:10:09.329 Graham Stoddart-Stones: But they don't need to. It. All gets done for you by geosphere.
397 01:10:10.270 --> 01:10:16.490 David Newman: The no, I mean, they don't even have a Gis state system in the district at all.
398 01:10:17.680 --> 01:10:18.140 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Are you calling?
399 01:10:18.140 --> 01:10:20.249 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Leave that! But.
400 01:10:20.250 --> 01:10:26.840 David Newman: Or at least not something that with someone skilled to do more than a few routine things.
401 01:10:29.060 --> 01:10:32.159 David Newman: while the county actually has rather good staff.
402 01:10:33.350 --> 01:10:34.110 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Right?
403 01:10:34.530 --> 01:10:35.949 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Have a nice day.
404 01:10:36.650 --> 01:10:42.490 Retired Clerk: Does the Procurement department still order quills by the 100 load.
405 01:10:43.560 --> 01:10:47.060 Graham Stoddart-Stones: I see a retired Clark has got his favorite hat on.
406 01:10:47.060 --> 01:10:48.960 Andrew Clegg: Yeah, well, you started it.
407 01:10:52.840 --> 01:11:01.750 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, Stuart, that was really interesting. Thank you very much. I'm delighted that you just showing us what the sort of things you get up to with parish online.
408 01:11:02.090 --> 01:11:05.260 Graham Stoddart-Stones: because I suspect it's quite a lot more than many, many.
409 01:11:05.260 --> 01:11:05.620 Graham Stoddart-Stones: She's.
410 01:11:05.620 --> 01:11:07.620 Stuart Bacon: Doing. Yeah, I mean the whole point.
411 01:11:07.620 --> 01:11:19.680 Stuart Bacon: I didn't want to. I don't really want to go into the the neighborhood plan side of things that we've got because our setup predates the the current design of neighborhood plan stuff in.
412 01:11:19.970 --> 01:11:22.599 Stuart Bacon: So I don't want to confuse people
413 01:11:23.540 --> 01:11:26.700 Stuart Bacon: between what we do and yeah, what what you can do. Now.
414 01:11:26.880 --> 01:11:27.545 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Right.
415 01:11:30.200 --> 01:11:34.869 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, Susan, David has been asking questions. It's your turn.
416 01:11:35.350 --> 01:11:38.890 Graham Stoddart-Stones: We have to have inspired you to come up with something. Surely.
417 01:11:40.309 --> 01:11:53.049 Susan McKeown: Just a quick one. Then I know some of your group have had imported information from the local authority. Probably highways group about Gis.
418 01:11:54.225 --> 01:11:59.110 Susan McKeown: and you said, basically, you just find out who it is in the county.
419 01:11:59.590 --> 01:12:07.989 Susan McKeown: Tell parish online, and they do it all for you. But how often is it updated? Say, if I want gullies
420 01:12:08.360 --> 01:12:11.690 Susan McKeown: to be imported into Gis for us.
421 01:12:11.790 --> 01:12:21.120 Susan McKeown: how often is it, you know? Do you have to? Is it automatically updated? Or do you have to request updates? What what happens? What's the process.
422 01:12:21.120 --> 01:12:33.109 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Usually, once the link has been set up between geosphere and the Council. It's it's permanently in place. So every time they make a change it gets reflected in your data.
423 01:12:33.380 --> 01:12:35.019 Susan McKeown: Oh, wonderful! Thank you!
424 01:12:35.020 --> 01:12:38.000 Graham Stoddart-Stones: There's a bit like a a public map that as soon as you make.
425 01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:41.470 Susan McKeown: Yeah, yeah, that's online, the public map updates. And the same thing.
426 01:12:41.470 --> 01:12:43.070 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Any of them link into the data.
427 01:12:43.070 --> 01:12:47.850 Andrew Clegg: Graham. I wonder how long it takes for new gullies to get into their map.
428 01:12:50.293 --> 01:12:51.396 Susan McKeown: Yes.
429 01:12:52.500 --> 01:13:03.119 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Enough I had when I was talking to Chris the other day, I said, by the way, Chris, I've got a request I'm just forming in my head for you. But it's going to be.
430 01:13:03.510 --> 01:13:05.270 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Why can't we
431 01:13:05.470 --> 01:13:27.310 Graham Stoddart-Stones: at least import 3rd party data into the parish layers so that we can add our own questions and styling because I said, in particular, I noticed that a lot of the Gully information is more than 10 years out of date, and they are mandated to update or look at the gullies every 2 years, or something.
432 01:13:27.930 --> 01:13:45.230 Graham Stoddart-Stones: and 4 years is okay. And so you say, well, we won't be able to chase them unless we've got somewhere to record the fact that A, we've chased them. B. What the answer is. So I wanted to ask Chris, if we could move information from 3rd party layers into parish layers.
433 01:13:46.084 --> 01:13:49.900 Graham Stoddart-Stones: And like everything else, we're waiting for the answer.
434 01:13:50.740 --> 01:13:51.460 Susan McKeown: I've just.
435 01:13:52.460 --> 01:14:07.090 Retired Clerk: I notice on there. But just just as you're sort of talking, I'm I'm flicking through what we've got in Somerset shared, and in the sort of the box that comes up when you when you hover over one of the topics, and it's now got an up to date or dated
436 01:14:07.260 --> 01:14:14.490 Retired Clerk: update to the last update date is actually on on the label, which is, which is quite useful. I haven't noticed that before.
437 01:14:17.090 --> 01:14:20.810 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, then, you're rich in getting gullies, aren't you? Not? Everyone gets gullies.
438 01:14:20.810 --> 01:14:25.479 Retired Clerk: Gullies the gullies. One is not got a date on.
439 01:14:25.710 --> 01:14:32.620 Retired Clerk: Unlike unlike the public rights away, which is updated to January 2025, it says.
440 01:14:33.780 --> 01:14:34.660 Graham Stoddart-Stones: That's new.
441 01:14:34.660 --> 01:14:40.430 Retired Clerk: So that's so. That's that's why the labels new. I don't know whether the information is, but it's certainly the label.
442 01:14:41.260 --> 01:14:43.230 Susan McKeown: That under gully ones
443 01:14:43.590 --> 01:14:51.440 Susan McKeown: does it have when? Not only where they are, but when they were last emptied? Or has he got information like that on as well.
444 01:14:51.820 --> 01:14:53.160 Andrew Clegg: That would be very useful.
445 01:14:53.160 --> 01:14:59.909 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Would you? Would you like to share your screen, your gully screen, Richard, and just show Susan what she's missing?
446 01:15:07.800 --> 01:15:09.909 Retired Clerk: Are you seeing one? No.
447 01:15:10.310 --> 01:15:11.869 Graham Stoddart-Stones: We're on the zoom screen yet. Not.
448 01:15:11.870 --> 01:15:12.500 Retired Clerk: How are you right?
449 01:15:12.500 --> 01:15:13.580 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Online screen.
450 01:15:13.800 --> 01:15:17.940 Retired Clerk: I'm not so you can see the the details down here.
451 01:15:17.940 --> 01:15:18.300 Graham Stoddart-Stones: No, we.
452 01:15:18.300 --> 01:15:21.160 Stuart Bacon: We've got the browser screen that says Zoom.
453 01:15:21.160 --> 01:15:22.910 Retired Clerk: Right, so you haven't got
454 01:15:23.930 --> 01:15:28.380 Retired Clerk: Let me bring it back on in the 2 seconds.
455 01:15:35.840 --> 01:15:38.049 Retired Clerk: so you've got half and half. Now, haven't you?
456 01:15:38.936 --> 01:15:39.789 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Go away.
457 01:15:39.790 --> 01:15:43.060 Graham Stoddart-Stones: We just there we go. Yes, thank you.
458 01:15:43.060 --> 01:15:44.990 Retired Clerk: No, I'm gone.
459 01:15:45.500 --> 01:15:47.370 Retired Clerk: I've got me bar in the way.
460 01:15:47.890 --> 01:15:48.860 Retired Clerk: That's better.
461 01:15:50.074 --> 01:15:54.240 Retired Clerk: This is. Watch it, I mean. Watch it. I don't know but I am.
462 01:15:54.430 --> 01:15:58.909 Retired Clerk: and the gully, the gully details are all there down the side.
463 01:15:59.260 --> 01:16:05.480 Retired Clerk: So looks like it was 2019. But I say this, this doesn't appear to have been updated.
464 01:16:06.780 --> 01:16:07.910 Retired Clerk: It can even take.
465 01:16:07.910 --> 01:16:10.459 Andrew Clegg: 19, when it was put in, or when it was last cleared.
466 01:16:10.460 --> 01:16:17.880 Retired Clerk: I think it's probably when it was last cleared, and you can even see the registration of the vehicle that did the job. Look at that.
467 01:16:18.350 --> 01:16:19.960 Stuart Bacon: Wow!
468 01:16:19.960 --> 01:16:20.530 Andrew Clegg: It rent.
469 01:16:20.530 --> 01:16:22.419 Stuart Bacon: You're not an owned one.
470 01:16:22.420 --> 01:16:26.050 Retired Clerk: Yeah, yeah, well, it's West Somerset. So you know, we have.
471 01:16:26.050 --> 01:16:27.600 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Theirs was broken, wasn't it?
472 01:16:27.600 --> 01:16:29.489 Retired Clerk: Yeah. They didn't know what.
473 01:16:30.180 --> 01:16:30.720 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Okay.
474 01:16:31.420 --> 01:16:32.897 Retired Clerk: But the the
475 01:16:33.790 --> 01:16:38.539 Retired Clerk: This sort of information about the updating is on the sides. Here.
476 01:16:39.045 --> 01:16:42.510 Retired Clerk: Let's see, where's that? Pr, o, 1? There, look.
477 01:16:42.510 --> 01:16:45.400 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Updated January 2025, yeah. Interesting.
478 01:16:45.400 --> 01:16:49.229 Retired Clerk: Whereas whereas my mates, the gullies haven't hasn't got it.
479 01:16:49.740 --> 01:16:53.130 Retired Clerk: Lcn's were updated to May 24.th
480 01:16:53.740 --> 01:17:02.399 Retired Clerk: So there there are obviously some thoughts going on about about that sort of label. Giving you a quick, a quick clue about what's going on and when.
481 01:17:02.930 --> 01:17:09.039 Retired Clerk: which is quite useful, the safe and plan cycle routes is up to date to the 4th of December last year.
482 01:17:10.850 --> 01:17:12.869 Graham Stoddart-Stones: That's pretty good actually, already, isn't it?
483 01:17:12.870 --> 01:17:23.109 Retired Clerk: So so that's that's something new. I was looking at the blue infrastructure which I hadn't noticed before. Is that is that something new? Or is that just one I hadn't noticed before. Graham.
484 01:17:23.880 --> 01:17:25.679 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Show me because I.
485 01:17:25.680 --> 01:17:27.530 Retired Clerk: Natural Natural England.
486 01:17:28.370 --> 01:17:28.940 Stuart Bacon: That's.
487 01:17:28.940 --> 01:17:30.619 Graham Stoddart-Stones: No, I haven't seen that one before.
488 01:17:31.320 --> 01:17:36.995 Retired Clerk: I'll come out a bit, because the one I was looking at was about the Rivers cause
489 01:17:38.510 --> 01:17:43.979 Retired Clerk: coming back to the largest building site in Europe that I failed to mention last time I was here.
490 01:17:44.150 --> 01:17:45.919 Graham Stoddart-Stones: No, we can mention.
491 01:17:48.300 --> 01:17:55.939 Retired Clerk: Well, yeah, I knew you'd I knew you'd be interested. And that's that. That's a that's the brook that goes through the parish.
492 01:17:57.920 --> 01:17:58.590 Graham Stoddart-Stones: No, I haven't.
493 01:17:58.850 --> 01:18:00.890 Retired Clerk: A blue infrastructure river.
494 01:18:03.690 --> 01:18:06.940 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So if you hover over that, does it give you a date on that.
495 01:18:07.150 --> 01:18:17.810 Retired Clerk: No, this is from natural England, so I'm assuming it's not the same. But Somerset are obviously giving some dates, but certainly it would be useful to have that little label pop up.
496 01:18:17.810 --> 01:18:22.300 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Yeah, I just. I imagine the next newsletter will tell us that this has arrived.
497 01:18:23.094 --> 01:18:23.699 Retired Clerk: Probably.
498 01:18:23.860 --> 01:18:25.070 Retired Clerk: Yeah, probably.
499 01:18:25.940 --> 01:18:26.900 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So.
500 01:18:26.900 --> 01:18:30.140 Andrew Clegg: Doesn't help when it's the same color as the parish boundary does. It.
501 01:18:30.140 --> 01:18:37.229 Retired Clerk: Well, that's why I've turned it off. You're quite right, Andrew. I turned the parish, but well, I had turned. Yeah. I turned the parish boundary off.
502 01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:43.559 Retired Clerk: Otherwise, otherwise, yes, they'd be the same in particular fellows that are colorblind.
503 01:18:44.480 --> 01:18:49.069 Andrew Clegg: I'm just looking at the blue infrastructure in the Somerset levels. It's all completely blue.
504 01:18:51.240 --> 01:18:52.300 Retired Clerk: Yeah.
505 01:18:52.300 --> 01:18:53.190 Susan McKeown: Yeah.
506 01:18:53.190 --> 01:18:53.880 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Oh!
507 01:18:54.240 --> 01:18:55.120 Susan McKeown: Wow!
508 01:18:55.120 --> 01:18:58.380 Graham Stoddart-Stones: It's quite a big river woo big water system. Yeah.
509 01:19:00.230 --> 01:19:05.000 Retired Clerk: What got me was that the blue infrastructure on the coastal is only half the parish.
510 01:19:05.420 --> 01:19:06.780 Retired Clerk: It's not the whole.
511 01:19:06.880 --> 01:19:11.430 Retired Clerk: There's Barish boundaries over here which seemed a bit odd.
512 01:19:11.760 --> 01:19:15.039 Graham Stoddart-Stones: But is that tied to the Ramzar part.
513 01:19:15.486 --> 01:19:19.499 Retired Clerk: I don't think so. I think round beyond that
514 01:19:20.160 --> 01:19:23.510 Retired Clerk: good question I'll have to. I'll have to find a RAM server.
515 01:19:24.150 --> 01:19:30.119 Retired Clerk: You can click into blue for canals. Have you found that it was?
516 01:19:30.120 --> 01:19:32.550 Retired Clerk: Yeah, there's 1 there, because Bridgewater is on it.
517 01:19:32.550 --> 01:19:33.270 Andrew Clegg: Yeah.
518 01:19:34.320 --> 01:19:35.700 Andrew Clegg: Oh, that's interesting.
519 01:19:39.270 --> 01:19:40.040 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Yeah, right.
520 01:19:40.040 --> 01:19:43.080 Retired Clerk: So give us a hold of the parish.
521 01:19:43.610 --> 01:19:45.620 Retired Clerk: whereas the the other one doesn't.
522 01:19:46.160 --> 01:19:47.920 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Yeah. Fascinating.
523 01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:48.590 Retired Clerk: Hmm!
524 01:19:49.480 --> 01:19:52.510 Retired Clerk: What you find on a Friday afternoon, when you've got nothing else to do.
525 01:19:53.922 --> 01:19:58.510 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, clearly, you've still got access to your account from parish online.
526 01:19:58.510 --> 01:20:05.390 Retired Clerk: No, no, they they let me have one as a volunteer, so that I can see. See what's going. Not.
527 01:20:07.080 --> 01:20:08.770 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Right.
528 01:20:12.310 --> 01:20:17.140 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So, Susan, we answered your gully question is that the the best that you can do.
529 01:20:17.840 --> 01:20:21.345 Susan McKeown: Yeah, I know, yeah.
530 01:20:22.580 --> 01:20:27.130 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Alright. Well, David, do we have any more questions that we can answer for you?
531 01:20:28.348 --> 01:20:29.690 David Newman: No, none at the moment.
532 01:20:31.480 --> 01:20:32.410 David Newman: The
533 01:20:33.540 --> 01:20:39.440 David Newman: lots of things I've learned like the fact. You can get data from the County Council. So I'm going to try that.
534 01:20:40.530 --> 01:20:47.849 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Yes, there is. If you go into parish online and go up to the cogwheel in the top right corner
535 01:20:48.100 --> 01:20:50.650 Graham Stoddart-Stones: and go into help and support.
536 01:20:51.590 --> 01:20:56.989 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Then in when the search bar comes up. If you type in council data.
537 01:20:57.590 --> 01:21:04.429 Graham Stoddart-Stones: it gives you all the instructions on the best way of getting data out of your local council authority.
538 01:21:04.790 --> 01:21:21.420 Graham Stoddart-Stones: And they're very specific steps that parish online asks if you would take, because when you've gone through those steps, then it makes their job of actually importing the data and talking to the right person in your local council very much easier.
539 01:21:21.520 --> 01:21:23.350 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So you're saving them
540 01:21:23.530 --> 01:21:37.629 Graham Stoddart-Stones: time and trouble, which is, of course, a big help, because they're doing this hopefully for councils all over the country, and they haven't got the time to look into all the questions, but if you can make it easy for them. So there are steps. Yeah, if you type in council data.
541 01:21:37.840 --> 01:21:41.859 Graham Stoddart-Stones: there you go. So and then the 1st one request for cancelling Beta.
542 01:21:42.310 --> 01:21:45.860 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Then just go through each of those steps one by one.
543 01:21:46.210 --> 01:21:53.530 Graham Stoddart-Stones: and you'll come up with the information that parish online needs to do the work for you or get the work done.
544 01:21:59.550 --> 01:22:00.780 Stuart Bacon: Oh, yeah.
545 01:22:00.780 --> 01:22:09.049 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So, although there are about 5 or 6 steps mentioned, there's probably only one or 2 that apply to you, and I'll give you the the data that you answer.
546 01:22:11.400 --> 01:22:12.120 David Newman: Alright.
547 01:22:16.100 --> 01:22:23.479 David Newman: Yes. Okay, yeah. I actually know from their website who to go to. So it's much of putting them.
548 01:22:23.660 --> 01:22:24.630 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Okay.
549 01:22:24.630 --> 01:22:27.009 David Newman: In touch with your experience. Right?
550 01:22:27.860 --> 01:22:29.968 Graham Stoddart-Stones: But it it does work
551 01:22:31.470 --> 01:22:41.629 Graham Stoddart-Stones: and in particularly in in theory. In Somerset in particular, we're supposed to be getting well. We are getting more and more information. We see more layers coming into the the Somerset Council layer
552 01:22:41.980 --> 01:22:43.689 Graham Stoddart-Stones: collection all the time.
553 01:22:44.904 --> 01:22:46.160 Graham Stoddart-Stones: So it does work
554 01:22:47.690 --> 01:22:53.079 Graham Stoddart-Stones: well, ladies and gentlemen, if there are no more questions, let us declare the weekend started.
555 01:22:53.310 --> 01:23:06.200 Graham Stoddart-Stones: and thank you very much for showing up. Thank you, Stuart, for what actually was a fascinating tour around Hunkert and Leicester. Really good. I find it fascinating myself. So thank you for your trouble.
556 01:23:06.510 --> 01:23:07.540 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Richard.
557 01:23:08.130 --> 01:23:12.770 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Would you be fascinated in doing this sort of exercise for next week. Please.
558 01:23:12.770 --> 01:23:16.210 Retired Clerk: From Spain, no.
559 01:23:16.210 --> 01:23:21.433 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Absolutely demonstrate the the marvels of technology
560 01:23:22.180 --> 01:23:24.280 Graham Stoddart-Stones: from Spain. No, going back there.
561 01:23:24.280 --> 01:23:25.549 Graham Stoddart-Stones: You weren't wonderful.
562 01:23:25.550 --> 01:23:31.320 Retired Clerk: Well, I'm I'm sorry I've retired the week the week after, maybe, but not not next week.
563 01:23:31.320 --> 01:23:32.960 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Well, thank you very much.
564 01:23:32.980 --> 01:23:35.430 David Newman: I once did a zoom Hungarian
565 01:23:35.430 --> 01:23:38.509 David Newman: out in the Danube delta in Romania.
566 01:23:38.510 --> 01:23:47.769 Retired Clerk: I didn't say I couldn't, I should be in Spain. No, I can't. All right. Well, I'll be back the week after.
567 01:23:48.130 --> 01:23:57.249 Graham Stoddart-Stones: Okay? Well again. Thank you all very much for your help and your attention and your being here, and we'll see you next week or next time, whenever it happens to be, take care, bye, bye.
568 01:23:57.250 --> 01:23:57.640 Andrew Clegg: Bye.
569 01:23:58.070 --> 01:23:58.970 Retired Clerk: Hi Graham!
