# Banter 101: 07Jan26 Digital Mapping, with Graham Stoddart-Stones {% embed url="" %} Please note that a transmission error on Graham's part means that some of the slides in the video are wrongly sized, and you are not able to see all the wording. This is corrected in both formats of the presentation in the next section below. Please note also that the data on the maps has so far simply been gleaned from surveys sent to the participants in our East Anglia pilot. It is hoped that councils from all over the UK will wish to add their details - I am reformatting the first survey (called Parish Activities) in accordance with lessons learned, but the second survey (Parish Volunteer Groups) is ready for use by any who so wish from anywhere in the UK.

The group explored various aspects of Parish Online, a mapping tool used by councils to manage and share data, including data security, integration of local nature recovery plans, and potential funding challenges. The conversation ended with discussions about data access permissions, collaboration opportunities, and plans for an upcoming session focused on data migration to Parish Online. ### Next steps * [Graham: Attach blank survey sheets to the wiki version of the presentation for others to submit their data.](https://us02tasks.zoom.us/?meetingId=O3lcIJ08Shm0XwxUCbRfpg%3D%3D\&stepId=fb74ba99-ebca-11f0-8eb0-ca1babb3f479) * [Amanda: Use Gloucestershire unitarisation roadmap contacts to connect with relevant IT/data leads and offer to help facilitate access to parish online/data sharing, or provide contact details to the group.](https://us02tasks.zoom.us/?meetingId=O3lcIJ08Shm0XwxUCbRfpg%3D%3D\&stepId=fb74bfa0-ebca-11f0-8860-ca1babb3f479) * [Amanda and Tristram: Discuss offline the potential for Gloucestershire Association of Parish and Town Councils (or unitary) to bulk purchase Parish Online licenses for member councils.](https://us02tasks.zoom.us/?meetingId=O3lcIJ08Shm0XwxUCbRfpg%3D%3D\&stepId=fb74c21a-ebca-11f0-a9bd-ca1babb3f479) * [Graham: Include flood wardens and community emergency planning groups as potential new layers in the mapping surveys, as suggested by Amanda and Rob.](https://us02tasks.zoom.us/?meetingId=O3lcIJ08Shm0XwxUCbRfpg%3D%3D\&stepId=fb74c45b-ebca-11f0-8b2c-ca1babb3f479) * [All interested: Send suggestions for additional map layers or data types to Graham for possible inclusion in future surveys.](https://us02tasks.zoom.us/?meetingId=O3lcIJ08Shm0XwxUCbRfpg%3D%3D\&stepId=fb74c65b-ebca-11f0-979c-ca1babb3f479) * [Helen: Forward the link for the Parish Online data sharing session on Friday to the Weymouth town clerk.](https://us02tasks.zoom.us/?meetingId=O3lcIJ08Shm0XwxUCbRfpg%3D%3D\&stepId=fb74c824-ebca-11f0-9810-ca1babb3f479) * [Andrew Maliphant: Send the Friday session link to Helen via email/chat.](https://us02tasks.zoom.us/?meetingId=O3lcIJ08Shm0XwxUCbRfpg%3D%3D\&stepId=fb74c9e3-ebca-11f0-aff9-ca1babb3f479) * [All interested: Attend the Parish Online session on Friday to learn how to get council data into Parish Online.](https://us02tasks.zoom.us/?meetingId=O3lcIJ08Shm0XwxUCbRfpg%3D%3D\&stepId=fb74cbc4-ebca-11f0-9918-ca1babb3f479) * [Amanda: Look up details about the Weymouth International Sand Sculpture Festival and consider sharing information.](https://us02tasks.zoom.us/?meetingId=O3lcIJ08Shm0XwxUCbRfpg%3D%3D\&stepId=fb74cd70-ebca-11f0-965a-ca1babb3f479) * [Andrew Maliphant: Note Gloucestershire's digital data lead (Alistair Cunningham) for future reference.](https://us02tasks.zoom.us/?meetingId=O3lcIJ08Shm0XwxUCbRfpg%3D%3D\&stepId=fb74cf3b-ebca-11f0-9316-ca1babb3f479) ### Summary #### UK Weather Impact Discussion Graham welcomed attendees to the meeting, which included a mix of participants from various locations, and encouraged them to update their Zoom names to reflect their locations or roles for better identification. The group discussed the impact of severe weather conditions across the UK, with some areas experiencing challenges while others remained unaffected. #### Emergency Planning and Community Resilience The group discussed upcoming presentations on digital mapping, collaboration, and community resilience. Andrew mentioned the need for a new emergency plan template that accounts for potential power outages and other emergencies, as the previous government plan from 2020 did not include a pandemic. Amanda shared an idea for using drones issued to Thames Water catchment workers, such as Jennifer Lanham, to assist community flood wardens in identifying blockages during floods. #### Digital Mapping and Community Resilience Graham presented on digital mapping, explaining how layers of data are added to base maps, similar to how transparencies were used in old overhead projection systems. Andrew Maliphant struggled with adjusting the slide size during the presentation. Frank raised a question about resilience in community emergency planning, particularly in the context of climate emergencies, noting that community councils in Scotland lack statutory powers and may be overwhelmed in such situations. Graham suggested that resilience forums in England could potentially address these issues, though their efficiency varies. #### Digital Mapping for Parish Councils Graham presented a demonstration of digital mapping systems, focusing on how parish councils can use XMap and Parish Online to visualize and manage local data. He explained how layers of information from various sources can be combined to show community projects, flood zones, and other relevant data at different scales. Graham emphasized the importance of obtaining proper permissions for publishing personal data and outlined plans to expand the mapping system to cover the entire country. He also discussed the potential for counties to purchase Parish Online licenses as a cost-effective way to provide parishes with access to valuable data. #### Parish Online Data Integration Discussion The group discussed Parish Online's data security and potential integration of local nature recovery plans. Peter inquired about Norfolk and Suffolk's data import, which Graham clarified had not been requested. They explored the possibility of importing Cambridgeshire and Peterborough's local nature recovery strategy into Parish Online, with Peter mentioning ongoing negotiations for licenses. Amanda shared her parish's emergency plan practices and mentioned Gloucestershire's unitary map, offering to connect the group with relevant leads. She also raised the idea of county associations bulk-purchasing Parish Online licenses, though she ultimately suggested unitary authorities as the most effective data managers. #### Parish Online Funding and Maintenance The group discussed funding challenges for Parish Online, with Tristram explaining that they had previously tried to secure funding from CALC but were unsuccessful. Amanda suggested exploring the possibility with the county association during the unitarization process, as it could provide added value to member councils. They also discussed the maintenance of a mapping project for repair cafes, with Graham explaining that updates currently need to go through him but may change in the future. The group agreed that having this data available through Parish Online could be beneficial, provided it's maintained and useful for parishes. #### Parish Online and XMAP Integration Rob sought clarification on the relationship between data entered into Parish Online and data provided for XMAP, learning that Parish Online data can be shared as collaborative layers in XMAP. Tristram explained that Parish Online carefully manages national datasets like Environment Agency flood maps, updating them but not altering them, and clarified that local plan data, such as neighborhood plans, can be made available for comparison and compliance. Graham emphasized the educational gap in awareness about Parish Online's GIS capabilities among higher-level councils, highlighting successful examples of councils sharing data to enhance planning and decision-making. #### Parish Online Data Access Discussion The meeting focused on Parish Online, a mapping tool used by councils to manage and share data. Graham explained how to identify data owners and get their permission to access information. Helen and Amanda discussed the potential for councillors to have read-only access to the tool. Tristram clarified that non-councillors need special permission to view certain data layers. The group explored ideas for adding new data layers, such as community car clubs and flood wardens. Andrew Maliphant emphasized the importance of collaboration and local expertise in managing climate change and nature recovery efforts. The conversation ended with a reminder of an upcoming session on Friday afternoon, which will focus on getting data from council servers into Parish Online. *** ### Chat: 00:07:13 David Morgan-Jones EwPC: Graham what is the name of the company that provides thermal imaging via drone on the IoW? \ 00:28:11 Cllr Helen Toft Weymouth Town Council: In terms of community resilience in it would be interesting to hear from someone at Monmouth council about what they have learnt following the flooding before Christmas. \ 00:29:00 David Morgan-Jones EwPC: @Andrew Maliphant if you move the scale (bottom right of the screen) you will increase slide size \ 00:30:23 Amanda Davis: Gloucestershire is a good one too for resilience. Community flood wardens, parish council emergency plans, shared staff between principal councils and community acre ie Glos Rural Community Council, recruiting lots of volunteer community responders in ambulance service etc
00:47:05 David Morgan-Jones EwPC: Many thanks - have to leave.
00:51:25 Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Link to Parish Online banter session this Friday at 2pm : 00:51:54 Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: We will be discussing the export of data from County and District servers into Parish Online
00:56:34 Jonathan Newman, Brooke Parish Council: Apologies I have another meeting to go to, thanks for the discussion \ 00:56:55 Andrew Maliphant: Reacted to "Apologies I have ano..." with šŸ‘ \ 00:59:02 Peter Bates: Surely just a link on the link to the details about Repair Cafes saves Graham manually updating \ 01:16:35 Cathy Wynne, Kent: Thanks and Good Bye \ 01:18:34 Cllr Helen Toft Weymouth Town Council: \ 01:20:31 Andrew Maliphant: Alastair Cunningham GCC data lead *** ### Links: The meeting discussed the appeal of as many of parishes as possible using Parish Online (the more detailed brother to the XMAP system), and the major price reductions that bulk purchase of licences (by, say, County or Unitary Councils) will engender. Further details of pricing at the individual council level can be found at (scroll down to the pricing section, where you may either start a 3-month free trial, or get an immediate 10% discount) *** ### Audio-transcript: (for AI engine) 225 \ 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:34.450 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Yes. 226 \ 00:22:34.450 --> 00:22:34.810 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Nope. 227 \ 00:22:34.810 --> 00:22:35.380 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Yay. 228 \ 00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:40.130 \ Andrew Maliphant: So, thank you, Andrew. If you can just whiz us on to the next one, please. 229 \ 00:22:40.130 --> 00:22:46.470 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Yeah, and that's just what we're going to talk about, so we'll whiz on beyond that. 230 \ 00:22:46.470 --> 00:22:47.400 \ Andrew Maliphant: Huh. 231 \ 00:22:48.010 --> 00:23:00.290 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So I was saying that most people are familiar with digital mapping nowadays because of Google Maps, using your sat-nav in your car, or the weather maps on television, but basicallyā€¦ next slide, please. 232 \ 00:23:00.900 --> 00:23:14.329 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: We take an underlying base map from the ordnance Survey, and we throw layers of data on top of it. And I've just been reminded of what I was going to say the first time around, which is, those of you of a certain age. 233 \ 00:23:14.590 --> 00:23:26.920 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: We'll remember the overhead projection systems that we used to have in the old days, where a bright light would be shined up through a transparency, onto a mirror, reflecting mirror, and then up onto the screen. 234 \ 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:40.779 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And if you were really advanced, you would take your, felt pen and write on the slide as you were talking about, sort of pointing with an arrow to the bit that you were actually talking about, saying, this is what we want to discuss. 235 \ 00:23:40.850 --> 00:23:43.399 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And you would go back to, 236 \ 00:23:44.760 --> 00:23:47.130 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: We're way on from where we ought to be, Andrew. 237 \ 00:23:47.130 --> 00:23:49.000 \ Andrew Maliphant: Thatā€¦ theā€¦ what's the word? 238 \ 00:23:49.650 --> 00:24:06.899 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And then if you're really clunning, you would put a second layer on top of the first transparency to give more detail, and now what we're doing with digital mapping is exactly the same. You're adding layers, as many as you like, to get the point across that you're trying to make. 239 \ 00:24:10.860 --> 00:24:12.730 \ Andrew Maliphant: Oh yeah, my hooked up, Tim? 240 \ 00:24:15.410 --> 00:24:16.230 \ Andrew Maliphant: Truth. 241 \ 00:24:16.570 --> 00:24:21.399 \ Andrew Maliphant: Right. Seem to have got, getting it too large for everybody, 242 \ 00:24:21.870 --> 00:24:29.799 \ Andrew Maliphant: I'm trying to reduce it down so that we canā€¦ get, to the right side. 243 \ 00:24:29.800 --> 00:24:31.150 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: your screen, right. 244 \ 00:24:38.260 --> 00:24:41.359 \ Andrew Maliphant: I don't think we'd be any good on the stage, would we, Jerome, you and me? 245 \ 00:24:43.900 --> 00:24:46.539 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: I think we probably should have held a dress rehearsal. 246 \ 00:24:46.750 --> 00:24:47.590 \ Andrew Maliphant: Oh. 247 \ 00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:48.730 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Yes. 248 \ 00:24:49.320 --> 00:24:52.800 \ Amanda Davis: Do I know you well enough to say maybe you'd be a comedy duo? 249 \ 00:24:53.060 --> 00:24:54.867 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Yes, you do. 250 \ 00:24:57.090 --> 00:25:06.469 \ Andrew Maliphant: But it would be even better if we wereā€¦ it'd be even better if we were doing it on purpose. Now, is thatā€¦ is that too large a screen, or is that okay, Graeme? 251 \ 00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:15.909 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Well, I think it could benefit from being a little smaller, but in the interest of continuity, perhaps you should get going. Right. Yeah, it needs to be smaller, really, butā€¦ 252 \ 00:25:16.170 --> 00:25:16.840 \ Andrew Maliphant: Right. 253 \ 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:18.650 \ Andrew Maliphant: Oh, miss. 254 \ 00:25:19.360 --> 00:25:22.299 \ Andrew Maliphant: Has anybody got any sort of, you know. 255 \ 00:25:24.140 --> 00:25:26.879 \ Andrew Maliphant: New Year's resolutions they wanted to share with us on. 256 \ 00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:31.469 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: I was going to practice my presentation skills. 257 \ 00:25:31.930 --> 00:25:33.330 \ Andrew Maliphant: Alright, okay. 258 \ 00:25:33.330 --> 00:25:34.470 \ frank deas, Killearn: Well, New Year! 259 \ 00:25:34.650 --> 00:25:46.109 \ frank deas, Killearn: not wanting to distract Andrew, but maybe Amanda can pick up on this. I'm really interested in what you're saying about resilience, because it's something that we've identified in a number of our villages. As we move into 260 \ 00:25:46.110 --> 00:25:57.619 \ frank deas, Killearn: emergency planning for community councils, which in Scotland don't have particular statutory powers. Traditionally, you only had to worry about the first half hour, hour, until the emergency services, the Cat 1 responders, kicked in. 261 \ 00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:16.940 \ frank deas, Killearn: But in climate emergencies, in climate-7 events, you're going to have much, much longer, because one, the council and the emergency service are going to be swamped, and two, you're going to be cut off. There will be no way to get to you. So it's a totally different style of resilience, and I just wonder whether that's something that's been picked up by others down south, whether there's better responses in place to it, soā€¦ 262 \ 00:26:16.940 --> 00:26:21.950 \ frank deas, Killearn: Not to distract us from today's event, but I'm really interested to hear more about what's happening in those areas. 263 \ 00:26:22.020 --> 00:26:23.280 \ frank deas, Killearn: For yourselves. 264 \ 00:26:23.280 --> 00:26:25.829 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So that's certainly looking much better sizing, Andrew. 265 \ 00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:27.059 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: That's very expensive. 266 \ 00:26:27.060 --> 00:26:44.769 \ Andrew Maliphant: The other thing is that, I mean, in England, there are resilience forums for each county, which are supposed to be holding the ring for this kind of issue, but as with everything, they're not all equally efficient in terms of liaising with people at community level. 267 \ 00:26:44.900 --> 00:26:48.299 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Can you go back up two sides, please? 268 \ 00:26:48.650 --> 00:26:49.340 \ Andrew Maliphant: Sorry? 269 \ 00:26:49.340 --> 00:26:53.680 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: You go back up two sides, you jump forward two sides. 270 \ 00:26:54.280 --> 00:26:55.959 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And that's gone to the end. 271 \ 00:26:56.380 --> 00:26:57.250 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Soā€¦ 272 \ 00:26:59.410 --> 00:27:04.359 \ Andrew Maliphant: Maybe I shouldn't have said that. What should we call ourselves when we go on the halls, Graeme? We, you know, we need to have aā€¦ 273 \ 00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:05.520 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: I think so. 274 \ 00:27:05.520 --> 00:27:14.419 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Graham, a suggestion. What about leavingā€¦ what about leaving it with the, slides at the side? Because that wasā€¦ although you had the slides to the side, they're the right scale. Good thinking. 275 \ 00:27:14.420 --> 00:27:17.840 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: He had it right on that last occasion. He just started jumping through them. 276 \ 00:27:17.840 --> 00:27:20.550 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: And it'sā€¦ that seems to be impossible to control. 277 \ 00:27:20.710 --> 00:27:22.240 \ Andrew Maliphant: Can't get the staff, you know? 278 \ 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:22.870 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: You're welcome. 279 \ 00:27:24.580 --> 00:27:27.779 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: But that works, that, look, that view is fine, isn't it? 280 \ 00:27:27.780 --> 00:27:28.780 \ David Morgan-Jones EwPC: Yeah, I'm feeling well. 281 \ 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:29.730 \ Amanda Davis: Yep. 282 \ 00:27:31.060 --> 00:27:34.099 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: All right, so if you come down 2 or 3, Andrew? 283 \ 00:27:34.460 --> 00:27:35.150 \ Andrew Maliphant: Yep. 284 \ 00:27:38.660 --> 00:27:39.500 \ Andrew Maliphant: Nope. 285 \ 00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:40.999 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Yeah, and the other one? 286 \ 00:27:41.130 --> 00:27:45.169 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: We're stillā€¦ stuff is disappearing off the bottom, isn't it? Yeah. 287 \ 00:27:45.460 --> 00:27:49.640 \ Andrew Maliphant: Yeah, I don't know if I can do anything without working at it. 288 \ 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.100 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Okay, well, let's just press it on, and we'llā€¦ 289 \ 00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:55.270 \ Andrew Maliphant: For the interest of time, I think. Yep, okay. 290 \ 00:27:55.270 --> 00:27:56.090 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Soā€¦ 291 \ 00:27:56.210 --> 00:28:15.489 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: When you start in your digital mapping system, you'll get, usually, the map on the right, which you can scale and zoom into, you can scroll around to your heart's content, and on the left, there'll be the layers that you can add on on top. So if we go on to the next slide, please. 292 \ 00:28:16.570 --> 00:28:20.570 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: I've now zoomed in to a particular area in Somerset. 293 \ 00:28:20.690 --> 00:28:31.659 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Just to show you the effect of what we're doing, I've opened up the collections on the left-hand side by clicking on the floods to open up the layers available, and I'm going to click on flood zones. 294 \ 00:28:32.190 --> 00:28:34.940 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And show you the next slide, please. 295 \ 00:28:35.670 --> 00:28:51.710 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So basically, this is what you can expect to happen in this particular part of Somerset when it rains for more than an hour or two at a time. And this is expected, it'sā€¦ everything is suited to this, the fields are all sort of adjusted to cope. 296 \ 00:28:51.800 --> 00:28:57.669 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: With lots and lots of water, which is why there are lots and lots of cows in Somerset, because the grass is superb. 297 \ 00:28:58.190 --> 00:28:59.530 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Moving on, please. 298 \ 00:29:01.760 --> 00:29:02.400 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Soā€¦ 299 \ 00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:22.850 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Digital mapping lets you come down to ever greater scales of detail, so if we just scroll in here to a particular part of the village, just to show you that you can get different layers of data. Here we've got Zone 2 and Zone 3 displayed by the legend on the left-hand side. 300 \ 00:29:22.970 --> 00:29:24.310 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Moving on, please. 301 \ 00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:38.560 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So, the layers come from a wide range of information. The government, particularly at county and district level, has huge numbers of data about us. So, everything from footpaths. 302 \ 00:29:38.580 --> 00:29:41.949 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Which seems to be run at county level for some strange reason. 303 \ 00:29:41.950 --> 00:30:05.940 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: To tree preservation orders, which come from the district, and so it goes on. Then we have the agencies of government, so I've got here the Environment Agency and the Land Registry is too typical, but there are lots of others. And then further down the screen, which you can't see, there are the other organizations, like Friends of the Earth, Historic England, Natural England, England Sports, and so forth. 304 \ 00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:17.589 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: going on and going on. And then there's the stuff that we ourselves can generate to display to you the information that we want to get across. Next slide, please. 305 \ 00:30:18.970 --> 00:30:34.799 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So the next few slides is just going to be an example of how Norfolk and Suffolk have got together to work with each other to make sure that the local nature recovery strategy is being rolled out in a sensible and visible way. 306 \ 00:30:35.100 --> 00:30:39.020 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So, the next few slides just show different ways of doing that. Next one, please. 307 \ 00:30:40.510 --> 00:30:50.690 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So, here's a sort of a discussion slide saying what we could do, what we should do, what we've already got, and where we're going to go from here, just to sort of lay out a plan. Next one. 308 \ 00:30:52.260 --> 00:31:05.800 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And this is one where they have put together their recovery information, and you can see howā€¦ now the beauty of mapping in that it shows you who around you is doing what it is that you're interested in. 309 \ 00:31:05.830 --> 00:31:13.309 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And, obviously Norfolk and Suffolk have got their acts together in this particular area. If we move on to the next oneā€¦ 310 \ 00:31:14.250 --> 00:31:29.760 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Just another example of showing, the areas in which they want to focus, where there's room for improvement, and the biodiversity. Clearly, the shoreline and, all that, we're talking about, the, 311 \ 00:31:30.510 --> 00:31:36.470 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: shore tumbling into the sea as the erosion gets going in Norfolk and Suffolk. 312 \ 00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:40.500 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Next oneā€¦ 313 \ 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:48.429 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And then this is obviously another topic, but the idea is just to show you what use people are making of digital mapping. 314 \ 00:31:48.480 --> 00:32:00.789 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: The beauty of these things is, as you zoom in, you can get more and more detail that's referenced in just you, so it comes down to parish level, to village level, and you can see what's going on around you. 315 \ 00:32:00.860 --> 00:32:02.589 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Next slide, please. 316 \ 00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:20.000 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And then, again, we're planning here, where we could be doing stuff, and then you could obviously allocate areas to projects and people, so that stuff actually does get done. So I think mapping is a major tool in our armory of how we achieve 317 \ 00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:27.769 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: projects and motion by enabling people to see what we want to do, where we want to do it, and who's going to do it. 318 \ 00:32:27.770 --> 00:32:33.360 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And allocate information like that. Moving onā€¦ Soā€¦ 319 \ 00:32:33.590 --> 00:32:52.400 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Sorry, this one doesn't fit. We are just getting started on our mapping, and the idea of today is to give people ideas so that they can come back to us. We're using XMAP, which is a big brother to Parish Online, which is a system that something like a quarter of 320 \ 00:32:52.540 --> 00:32:56.769 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: sorry, parish councils in England are using. 321 \ 00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:07.629 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: we've gone for a whole country layer to start off with, just showing people that flooding map that I was showing you earlier, and making that available to everybody to see. 322 \ 00:33:07.630 --> 00:33:24.189 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And then in the, our pilot area for study of East Anglia, we've sent out two surveys asking for information to come back. And we're showing you later on in this demonstration how the answers look and how they can be useful to people. 323 \ 00:33:24.660 --> 00:33:35.679 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And then the last line, which you may not be able to see, says that this is all published in the Knowledge Base, and it's accessible through the website, and the next slide shows you where to go. 324 \ 00:33:36.040 --> 00:33:43.570 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So, on the website, under the About This Project, or About The Project, listing, there is a heading for digital mapping. 325 \ 00:33:43.910 --> 00:33:54.829 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And if we click on that next slide, we come to an explanation of what it's all about. If you click on the mapping menu, you're going to be taken straight to the maps. 326 \ 00:33:54.950 --> 00:34:02.399 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And there is a slide, a link there, to take you to instructions on what to do if you've not ever seen this stuff before. 327 \ 00:34:02.970 --> 00:34:14.419 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So here, under the environment, there is a floods menu that I mentioned. We've already seen that, so I'm moving on to activities as a presentation of what you can do. 328 \ 00:34:15.150 --> 00:34:26.170 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: The system will default to showing you the entire UK to start with, and we're going to scroll in onto East Anglia, because that's where our surveyā€¦ well, hang on a second, can we go back? 329 \ 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:34.869 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: But I just wanted to point out that there is a facility to jump directly to anywhere that you wish to go to if you know the postcode. 330 \ 00:34:35.179 --> 00:34:46.860 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: The postcode, really scrolls in, or zooms in on the area, so in order to see what's going on when you've entered that postcode and clicked on it, you'll probably need to zoom back out again. 331 \ 00:34:47.070 --> 00:34:54.429 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: To see what's going on. But otherwise, we're fine. So, if you could go into the next slide, please, Andrew. 332 \ 00:34:54.880 --> 00:35:00.150 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Okay, we've zoomed in to, our East Anglia area. 333 \ 00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:04.980 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And up on the left-hand side, there is a little box called 334 \ 00:35:05.730 --> 00:35:16.360 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Paris projects in this case, but that's the layers box, and this is where we select what we actually want to see. So this particular slide is just showing the Ordnance Surveys map of 335 \ 00:35:16.470 --> 00:35:19.240 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: East Anglia. If we click on the layers. 336 \ 00:35:19.500 --> 00:35:27.120 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Which is the next slide, and you'll see it opens up to show you all the layers of data that we've recovered in our first survey. 337 \ 00:35:27.540 --> 00:35:34.589 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And then you can select anyone that you like to show what's going on. If we click on the community allotments, next slide. 338 \ 00:35:35.540 --> 00:35:41.110 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Then it immediately comes up with the people around this area who are 339 \ 00:35:41.500 --> 00:35:46.569 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: reporting that they're working on community allotments. So, plenty of them. 340 \ 00:35:48.470 --> 00:36:01.149 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: But if you want to see something else at the same time, we're going to say, why don't you move down to, say, Repair Cafes, and go on to the next slide. And now you see the two layers being presented on top of each other. 341 \ 00:36:01.660 --> 00:36:10.199 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: To get more information on any one item, you can just double-click on it. So we're going to go to the Repair Cafe in Whittlesey. 342 \ 00:36:10.560 --> 00:36:11.780 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Next slide. 343 \ 00:36:12.090 --> 00:36:30.770 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And it comes up with a choice. Do you want to go into community allotments, or do you want to go into repair cafes? This only happens if there are two slidesā€¦ two entries of data in roughly the same area. So it just wants you to confirm what it is you want to do. Since we're going into repair cafes, we'll click on that. 344 \ 00:36:31.310 --> 00:36:32.520 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Next slide. 345 \ 00:36:32.690 --> 00:36:40.420 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And then you get a pop-up box which contains all the data that we've collected that we think should be published. Now. 346 \ 00:36:40.700 --> 00:36:46.650 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: This is a scrollable box, you can't see it on this slide, but if you move to the scrolling, 347 \ 00:36:48.240 --> 00:37:04.309 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: button. You can slide up and down to see all the information that's available. At the moment, weā€¦ in the first survey that we did, we didn't make it clear to everybody that the data would be published, and therefore we didn't 348 \ 00:37:04.510 --> 00:37:13.419 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: State that the information needed to be cleared with owners in terms of their personal information, whether it was email addresses or whether it was telephone numbers. 349 \ 00:37:13.430 --> 00:37:25.659 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So you'll see that in this early survey results, we are a bit sparse on information because we hadn't got everyone's permission to issue it in terms, you know, in accordance with GDPR. 350 \ 00:37:26.180 --> 00:37:31.019 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So, we've changed that in later editions of the survey. 351 \ 00:37:32.820 --> 00:37:55.879 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So, that really is the end of the presentation of what's available at the moment. In summary, you can show or see what's going on around you. You can zoom in to a particular area. You can zoom in to each individual feature to get the details that you need, like, to whom do I contact to find out more about this, or to work together with people. 352 \ 00:37:56.650 --> 00:38:12.719 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So, just letting you know where we are at the moment, those two surveys at the moment just cover East Anglia. When I've sorted out a few of those issues that I mentioned about GDPR and so forth, then we'll invite the rest of the country to 353 \ 00:38:12.810 --> 00:38:16.110 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: provide their information. If you'd like 354 \ 00:38:16.160 --> 00:38:21.660 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: you're not in East Angler at the moment, or you didn't take the advantage of 355 \ 00:38:21.680 --> 00:38:25.830 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: filling the survey, I'll attach the, 356 \ 00:38:25.830 --> 00:38:43.619 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: the blank survey sheets to the wiki version of this when we publish it, and you'll all be able to have a go at sending your data should you wish to. Because, obviously, the more that we get, the more people will find this useful, and the more may be inspired to send us their results as well. 357 \ 00:38:44.080 --> 00:38:49.560 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: What I've done on the future stuff isā€¦ sorry, can we go back, Andrew? 358 \ 00:38:49.630 --> 00:38:55.639 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Is to say that the, filling in the data on your end 359 \ 00:38:55.640 --> 00:39:19.679 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: implies that you've got permission from the individuals to publish their data. So if you don't have the information, please don't put it into the survey. So don't put a phone number in unless the person involved has already said, of course you can, or they're already published in some public form, like the local village website, or the repair cafe website, or something. If that data is publicly available. 360 \ 00:39:19.680 --> 00:39:23.010 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Then we have no problems in publishing the data here. 361 \ 00:39:23.180 --> 00:39:32.960 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And by putting the data into the survey, I'm asking you all to appreciate that that implies that permission has been granted by the individuals concerned. 362 \ 00:39:33.610 --> 00:39:46.639 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And then I've just gone on to say at the bottom that I've got some thoughts about working with XMAP and Parish Online, because, so you can understand why you've chosen to go down this particular route. 363 \ 00:39:46.750 --> 00:39:48.729 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So, next one, please. 364 \ 00:39:49.860 --> 00:39:52.180 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Yeah, I'm sorry about the sizing here. 365 \ 00:39:52.820 --> 00:39:53.900 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Soā€¦ 366 \ 00:39:53.900 --> 00:40:18.519 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: The arrangement of working with XMAP is that, it gives us the opportunity to refine hugely the data that we're presenting to people and sharing with people, because the XMAP that we're using is the big brother to Parish Online. And Parish Online, rather as its name is a giveaway, was designed specifically for parish councils to help them in their 367 \ 00:40:18.520 --> 00:40:20.830 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: day-to-day work. 368 \ 00:40:21.040 --> 00:40:33.950 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And hopefully there's been a little idea of what you can get from working with Parish Online in terms of data that you no longer have to recreate yourself, because somebody else has already done it. 369 \ 00:40:34.230 --> 00:40:52.900 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And, Geosphere, the manufacturers of these products, have agreed that if we can demonstrate that the data we're collecting and showing in XMAP is of sufficient interest to a sufficiently large number of Parish Online users, then they will transport it into Parish Online. 370 \ 00:40:52.990 --> 00:40:55.099 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: For those users to see. 371 \ 00:40:55.700 --> 00:41:05.059 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Just a point to those of you who are, trying to work out devolution and trying to work out how to make yourself more efficient and more effective. 372 \ 00:41:07.420 --> 00:41:19.389 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: there isā€¦ the most cost-effective way of obtaining Paris Online is getting your county to do it for you. And the most wonderful example that I can give of this is Bath and North East Somerset. 373 \ 00:41:19.730 --> 00:41:43.509 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: who have a GIS department, and they were being plagued by parishes calling up and saying, please, could you tell us a footpath that will take 15 minutes to walk around with somebody who's got a wheelchair, and so forth. And they came to the conclusion that actually it was much more cost-effective for them to buy a copy of Parish online for every single one of their parishes. 374 \ 00:41:43.510 --> 00:41:52.930 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: to issue it free to the parishes on the condition that they stopped calling the GIS department, because they wouldn't answer their phones any longer. 375 \ 00:41:53.010 --> 00:42:07.509 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And then the agreement from Bath and North East Somerset, if you will, the quid pro quo, was that they would export all their data that they had to the parishes, so the parishes could then choose what they wanted to see. 376 \ 00:42:08.120 --> 00:42:18.299 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And, to give you an example of the range of facilities that are available, there are several counties within the country. 377 \ 00:42:18.410 --> 00:42:30.199 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: that don't publish any information whatsoever to their parishes. So, if you've got a copy parish in line, and you live in such and such a county, you may not see any data from the county. 378 \ 00:42:30.550 --> 00:42:49.959 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: In contrast, in Bath and North East Somerset, there are 400 layers of data issued constantly to the parishes via Parish Online, and the comments from the guy who set this up 10 years ago says that every year they have reviewed 379 \ 00:42:49.990 --> 00:42:54.539 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: The cause, or the reasons for going with this system. 380 \ 00:42:54.620 --> 00:43:03.089 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And they just repeat it every year because it's a no-brainer. The amount of money and time that they save in not being plagued by their parishes. 381 \ 00:43:03.130 --> 00:43:16.120 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: has been well worth the cost of the licenses. So I just put it to you all that if you can persuade your local counties that there's an advantage to everybody, a win-win, to them buying the 382 \ 00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:27.489 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: the licenses as a bulk purchase, then that really works, and it would help us, because the more of you that are working in Paris Online, I think the easier it'll be for us to get data around. 383 \ 00:43:27.860 --> 00:43:42.489 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And finally, the biggest advantage to you using Parish Online and getting the data from your county is the enormous time savings that accrues to you. So my last slide, pleaseā€¦ 384 \ 00:43:43.710 --> 00:43:44.670 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Andrew? 385 \ 00:43:45.890 --> 00:43:52.120 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Is the sorts of stuff that is held at county, district, and unitary level. 386 \ 00:43:52.230 --> 00:43:55.910 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: that you can get in parish online. Soā€¦ 387 \ 00:43:56.270 --> 00:44:14.859 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: we all have to deal with planning applications. In order, it'sā€¦ there's usually a portal at the county level that you can go into to see the details of every planning application, every document that's been submitted for all that, and so forth. But if you want to make any comments 388 \ 00:44:14.860 --> 00:44:38.840 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: pertinent to your parish on that product, you can't do it through the portal. But if the planning application is exported to Parish Online, then you can do everything with it in Paris Online. And the time it takes to not have to go and look for the house, not look for the postcode, not look for any, conservation orders or anything else that may be applying, because they're all visible in Parish Online, is huge. 389 \ 00:44:38.980 --> 00:44:43.430 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Ditto for tree preservation orders. Again, they're allā€¦ 390 \ 00:44:43.610 --> 00:44:54.990 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: They've all been put into a computer somewhere by somebody, so why should you have to go ahead and do the same thing? Much, much easier just to get your local county to export the data. 391 \ 00:44:55.580 --> 00:45:05.159 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: It can be done at no cost to the county or to you, because Geosphere, in their wisdom, will do all the work for nothing. 392 \ 00:45:05.290 --> 00:45:12.249 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: It's worth it to them to have their countā€¦ their parish countā€¦ sorry, parish council users 393 \ 00:45:12.250 --> 00:45:28.919 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: making the best use of the product, so that they do the exporting and the import into Parish Online on a constant basis. So once the link has been set up, any changes, any updates, or so forth will also be reflected in your copy of Parish Online. 394 \ 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:43.540 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So this is really my argument to say, could you please go to your council people? And there's a wonderfulā€¦ I'm doing a presentation on Friday this week on how to do that. 395 \ 00:45:43.720 --> 00:45:47.629 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So, if anybody's interested, I'll put the link into the share. 396 \ 00:45:47.900 --> 00:45:50.950 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: into the chat in a moment. 397 \ 00:45:51.060 --> 00:46:03.249 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And then people can come along and find out how best to get the data from their local councils into their local mapping system, so that they save a huge amount of work. 398 \ 00:46:04.900 --> 00:46:10.949 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And I think I should stop there and ask Andrew if you want to add any comments to the presentation. 399 \ 00:46:14.430 --> 00:46:16.749 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And you're currently muted. 400 \ 00:46:18.530 --> 00:46:32.129 \ Andrew Maliphant: Here we go. Many, many thanks that, Graham. Yeah, I mean, theā€¦ fixing the presentation before it gets posted is straightforward, and I can help with that. The only thing I was going to add is whether, if people wanted to seeā€¦ 401 \ 00:46:32.160 --> 00:46:43.200 \ Andrew Maliphant: our own mapping on theā€¦ on the website, from the website live, then that'sā€¦ that's possible. I couldā€¦ I could show that to people in a minute, if we want to see theā€¦ see it being played with live. But, 402 \ 00:46:43.390 --> 00:46:48.530 \ Andrew Maliphant: Back to the hands in the air, and Peter, I think you've got your hand in the air first, yeah. 403 \ 00:46:48.930 --> 00:46:50.949 \ Peter Bates: Okay, yes, 404 \ 00:46:51.260 --> 00:47:04.620 \ Peter Bates: Graeme, or maybe Tristan, that's kind ofā€¦ can better answer this. Graeme, you saw that, or we saw that, Norfolk and, Suffolk's, Local Nature Recovery Plan 405 \ 00:47:04.770 --> 00:47:17.649 \ Peter Bates: You made mention of it. Haveā€¦ has Parish Online been able to import all the, data from that into, into Parish Online? 406 \ 00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:26.549 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: We hadā€¦ we haven't even asked them, for that information, Peter, so if you're saying that you'd like to see it. 407 \ 00:47:26.770 --> 00:47:28.190 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Thenā€¦ 408 \ 00:47:28.190 --> 00:47:35.129 \ Peter Bates: No, I was hoping you would say, yes, you have been able to import it, because then I would say to Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. 409 \ 00:47:35.220 --> 00:47:42.280 \ Peter Bates: Who've, also got a local nature recovery strategy plan, which is beingā€¦ now being published. 410 \ 00:47:42.280 --> 00:48:00.449 \ Peter Bates: That, because one of the biggest issues with these statutory local nature recovery, plans and strategies are it's a fixedā€¦ it's a fixed feature, and there's noā€¦ currently no plans to update those. So, if all that data can actually be put across. 411 \ 00:48:00.450 --> 00:48:12.619 \ Peter Bates: onto Parish Online, it will make you start to make it a lot easier, because, Cambridgeshire, as some of you will know, hasā€¦ it's distinct from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, I mean. 412 \ 00:48:12.620 --> 00:48:26.269 \ Peter Bates: Cambridgeshire will, has a, local nature, nature recovery from the Ground Up project, and I think I managed to persuade, Cambridgeshire to at least, buy in 413 \ 00:48:26.270 --> 00:48:40.459 \ Peter Bates: licenses, or Iā€¦ actually, I believe they may be free, for the 16, sorry, for the 25 parishes, initial parishes, which are actually involved in that particular project. 414 \ 00:48:40.630 --> 00:48:54.080 \ Peter Bates: I gather a deal has been done, but howā€¦ how watertight that deal is, I'm not quite sure. It probably, Trisha, it probably supersedes my attempt inā€¦ as far as East Campshire is concerned. 415 \ 00:48:54.080 --> 00:49:06.099 \ Peter Bates: In that respect, because, I'mā€¦ I'm very much involved with the Nature Recovery, from the Ground Up project in, in Cambridgeshire. In Cambridgeshire, yeah. 416 \ 00:49:06.600 --> 00:49:07.720 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: That sounds good. 417 \ 00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:14.980 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: I didn't know that. I didn'tā€¦ I knew you had a request to get a bulk purchase of licenses, but I didn't know whether that had a. 418 \ 00:49:14.980 --> 00:49:30.350 \ Peter Bates: Exactly. I'd focused on looking at one for East Cambridgeshire, and we're still struggling to get the money, to do that on theā€¦ which I thought was a good deal. But I think, in some respects, it looks as if, 419 \ 00:49:30.430 --> 00:49:44.509 \ Peter Bates: the people involved, I'll probably hear more about it tomorrow, because I actually have a methodology meeting with the Nature Recovery from the Ground Up project, and try to update them. I suspect they may be calling upon somebody like Graham toā€¦ 420 \ 00:49:44.510 --> 00:49:54.850 \ Peter Bates: do some training, related to this, but, I may be wrong on that one. I won'tā€¦ won't interfere with their, negotiations that we're having. 421 \ 00:49:54.850 --> 00:50:19.729 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Peter, you actually raise a point which ought to be of interest to everybody, Peter, which is that Parish Online is very secure. The data that you put into it from your parish is only visible to other people who have an access to your particular copy of Parish Online. So when you ask me, has Norfolk exported the data to Parish Online, as somebody who is not in Norfolk, I have absolutely nowhere 422 \ 00:50:19.730 --> 00:50:21.140 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: of finding that out. 423 \ 00:50:21.230 --> 00:50:33.310 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: from within Parish Online. Obviously, I can ask somebody, but I don't know who's got what, I don't know what you can see, and whatā€¦ because it'll be different from what I can see in Paris Online, because we're all different. 424 \ 00:50:33.490 --> 00:50:35.239 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So I just passed that on. 425 \ 00:50:35.580 --> 00:50:44.900 \ Peter Bates: Yeah, I think a key point, is that there appearsā€¦ that these, strategy plans which have been developed, you know. 426 \ 00:50:44.900 --> 00:51:01.019 \ Peter Bates: wereā€¦ and as far as chemistry is concerned, chemistry and people are concerned, it's just been published. Well, they wereā€¦ theyā€¦ bits of it were already outdated before they were even, you know, were only at a draft state. 427 \ 00:51:01.020 --> 00:51:09.220 \ Peter Bates: you know, I know, though, in terms of Ely, there is one area which proposed for nature recovery. Well, it's been built upon now. 428 \ 00:51:10.300 --> 00:51:12.530 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: It will beā€¦ 429 \ 00:51:12.530 --> 00:51:20.419 \ Peter Bates: It'd be great to have the flexibility, well, of being able to, be able to, particularly as parishes. 430 \ 00:51:20.420 --> 00:51:38.060 \ Peter Bates: in this Nature Recovery from the Ground Up project can actually then utilize, what is already on the local Nature Recovery Plan, which is being produced at the combined authority level, and then add to it, in their local parishes. 431 \ 00:51:40.040 --> 00:51:43.459 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Okay, thank you very much. Can we move on to Amanda, please? 432 \ 00:51:43.460 --> 00:52:01.200 \ Amanda Davis: Yeah, I've got, my New Year's resolution you asked at the start was to avoid procrastination. And I am going to go straight to my quick five points, so I'll do it backwards. Number 5 was, the parish emergency plan here in Borton on the water. 433 \ 00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:17.060 \ Amanda Davis: We have both a full copy, which has got all the contact details, etc, and we have a redacted copy that we publish. So, someā€¦ some other parishes may do it that way, but it's just so that you know, in case of data and GDPR. 434 \ 00:52:17.690 --> 00:52:18.200 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Thank you. 435 \ 00:52:18.200 --> 00:52:23.920 \ Amanda Davis: It comes to the next point, which is, are we, as the Great Collaboration, ICO registered? 436 \ 00:52:26.290 --> 00:52:27.290 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Yes. 437 \ 00:52:27.290 --> 00:52:36.169 \ Amanda Davis: Good. And then the next is, the Gloucestershire Unitary, the map to Unitarisation. 438 \ 00:52:36.200 --> 00:52:49.709 \ Amanda Davis: I'm involved with, from the union perspective, because I chair Unison for local government here in the county, and, I have the roadmap that shows who's leading on which work stream for Gloucestershire. 439 \ 00:52:49.710 --> 00:52:57.240 \ Amanda Davis: And, there's a, there's two IT-data style, project themes. 440 \ 00:52:57.240 --> 00:53:12.829 \ Amanda Davis: And so I canā€¦ I've got the contact lead, the project lead for each. One is IT and data internally, and the other is the customer experience and all the technology that, delivers to the public-facing side. 441 \ 00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:22.600 \ Amanda Davis: So, if itā€¦ if it helps, I can either use that information to get at the right person and help that way, or I can give you the contact for who is the lead. 442 \ 00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:26.900 \ Amanda Davis: So, that's another thing to note. And then, theā€¦ theā€¦ 443 \ 00:53:26.900 --> 00:53:42.980 \ Amanda Davis: The quick other one was National Landscapes. Remember that they overlay this as well, and they will also be, having a look at all of the nature recovery at a landscape level. So, they might have 3 or 4, or in our case, 6 counties. 444 \ 00:53:42.980 --> 00:53:51.600 \ Amanda Davis: Nature recovery strategies that we're pulling all together, so they've got an even greater overview, and that's another layer to look at, because we are looking at data. 445 \ 00:53:51.670 --> 00:53:57.879 \ Amanda Davis: So we will have data there that may be in a form that can be shared. I've just never thought to ask that question. 446 \ 00:53:57.910 --> 00:54:16.189 \ Amanda Davis: Then, the final one, where Baines bought through, bought parish online through the county, I have been thinking, what about if the calcs bought, so the County Associations of NALC, if they were to buy for their member councils as a bulk buy? 447 \ 00:54:16.350 --> 00:54:28.510 \ Amanda Davis: could that be a useful mechanism? But then I thought, no, it's even better if the county does it, or the unitary does it, because they've got all of their data, and the fact that the data populating the 448 \ 00:54:28.560 --> 00:54:36.439 \ Amanda Davis: the mapping software, if you like. It's the data and keeping that real and live and updated. That's the key, isn't it? 449 \ 00:54:36.520 --> 00:54:40.359 \ Amanda Davis: So, a whole load of random thoughts that I hope are helpful and just practical. 450 \ 00:54:41.570 --> 00:54:42.320 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Thank you. 451 \ 00:54:42.610 --> 00:54:46.829 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Amanda, on the last point, we haveā€¦ we've put quite a lot of effort into trying to get 452 \ 00:54:46.960 --> 00:55:00.059 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: calc to fund or subsidize, and they don't want to do it. They haven't got theā€¦ they haven't got the money, and they don't think it's their place. So we haveā€¦ we haven't looked at that route. 453 \ 00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:01.589 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Yeah, keep doing, keep doing. 454 \ 00:55:01.590 --> 00:55:10.759 \ Amanda Davis: The reason I was going to ask was because I'm on the executive of Gloucestershire Association of Parish and Town Councils, and I've never heard it raised before. 455 \ 00:55:10.760 --> 00:55:29.559 \ Amanda Davis: So, we are looking at our membership and what added value we offer for our membership, because we are getting a squeeze at the moment for the price increases we've had to put in. And, you know, any extra things that the councils don't therefore have to buy themselves and saves them money and time and effort, and adds joined up value added. 456 \ 00:55:29.560 --> 00:55:30.860 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Is, you knowā€¦ 457 \ 00:55:30.860 --> 00:55:31.210 \ Amanda Davis: But. 458 \ 00:55:31.210 --> 00:55:37.369 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: We're very, very keen, we're very keen to talk about it, if that works, but we did, we did try with all the calcs a few years ago. 459 \ 00:55:37.540 --> 00:55:40.809 \ Amanda Davis: If you've tried already, I think the county might be better. 460 \ 00:55:41.110 --> 00:55:41.870 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: I thinkā€¦ 461 \ 00:55:41.870 --> 00:55:52.619 \ Andrew Maliphant: If I can just jump in, the issue with councils, of course, is they'reā€¦ this is the County Association of Local Councils, people aren't aware. Their income comes from the parish and town councils that are members. 462 \ 00:55:52.620 --> 00:55:59.679 \ Amanda Davis: And so, if there had to be increased expenditure at the account level, they might then have to put up the subscriptions. 463 \ 00:55:59.680 --> 00:56:05.959 \ Andrew Maliphant: Town Council, so they'd have to pay for it anyway. So I think that's probably the conundrum, that's probably the problem. 464 \ 00:56:05.960 --> 00:56:20.480 \ Amanda Davis: Well, my point was that if it's efficient to bulk buy, then the councils that currently subscribe individually to Parish Online will get a saving throughā€¦ even if they've got an increase in their subs, they'llā€¦ they'll have a net saving. 465 \ 00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:36.049 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Actually, thatā€¦ well, that's a bit of a detail, but it does cause a problem, because the parishes that already subscribed say, well, now we won't have to. Yeah. But that puts the whole weight of the subscription onto the calc, or the county. We do provideā€¦ we're happy to provide a big discount. 466 \ 00:56:36.050 --> 00:56:40.699 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: But, it'sā€¦ getting everybody to think that's a good idea has proved quite hard. 467 \ 00:56:40.750 --> 00:56:43.559 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: But let's talk about the matter outside this meeting, maybe. 468 \ 00:56:43.560 --> 00:56:59.349 \ Amanda Davis: Yes, because I'm thinking unitarisation is the ideal time. While everybody's moving the whole shebang around, now is the time to be planning strategically for equipping all of the community tier in our unitarisation. 469 \ 00:56:59.350 --> 00:57:00.210 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Quite agree. 470 \ 00:57:01.100 --> 00:57:02.829 \ Amanda Davis: Speak offline. Thank you. 471 \ 00:57:02.830 --> 00:57:03.870 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Lovely. 472 \ 00:57:04.340 --> 00:57:16.440 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Graeme, could I just ask about the maintenance? Your mapping in your East Anglia project of repair cafes and those sorts of things, is there a maintenance strategy for that? 473 \ 00:57:16.610 --> 00:57:25.610 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: So if I run a repair cafe and we change the opening times, can the repair cafe go into that map and make a change, or does that have to come through you? 474 \ 00:57:25.610 --> 00:57:39.309 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: At the moment, everything is coming throughā€¦ through me, because, as you know, we're doing it in XMAP, and nobody else has an account to that. But, all may change when the finances improve for a start. 475 \ 00:57:39.310 --> 00:57:53.299 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Yeah. Because I think that's quite an issue. To do oneā€¦ to do two surveys, the danger of that sort of map is it justā€¦ every year it'll get out of date, and you've got to work out some strategy to get people to update it, or to review that it's right. 476 \ 00:57:53.440 --> 00:58:00.939 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Well, it's another good point for why everybody should adopt Parrish Online, because then they can all do their updates automatically. 477 \ 00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:05.789 \ Amanda Davis: Soā€¦ Maybe this government should buy it for everybody. 478 \ 00:58:05.790 --> 00:58:09.469 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: We've tried that. 479 \ 00:58:10.740 --> 00:58:11.850 \ Amanda Davis: Boom, boom! 480 \ 00:58:11.850 --> 00:58:16.830 \ Andrew Maliphant: You did say you're a unison leader, didn't you, Amanda? 481 \ 00:58:16.830 --> 00:58:24.440 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: The other question is, all that data is available through the Great Collaboration website, through that public map. 482 \ 00:58:24.640 --> 00:58:25.080 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Yes. 483 \ 00:58:25.080 --> 00:58:31.800 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Do you see a particular advantage for parishes, individual parishes, to have that same data available through Parish Online? 484 \ 00:58:32.640 --> 00:58:39.610 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Oh, absolutely, but then that's what we wouldā€¦ is an ongoing discussion with you, 485 \ 00:58:40.070 --> 00:58:48.080 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: on how much data do we gather within XMAP for it to be worthwhile for Geosphere to move it into Parish Online? 486 \ 00:58:48.600 --> 00:58:54.790 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Yeah, we'd be veryā€¦ in principle, we're very happy to have it in Paris9, provided it's sort ofā€¦ we think it's maintained, and it's useful. 487 \ 00:58:54.790 --> 00:58:55.550 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Exactly, yep. 488 \ 00:58:55.550 --> 00:58:59.489 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Okay, thank you very much. Well, thank you for your presentation, very useful. 489 \ 00:58:59.780 --> 00:59:05.730 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Okay, and moving on toā€¦ there is somebody, Rob, Rob Cheeseman. 490 \ 00:59:07.260 --> 00:59:21.079 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Hi, thank you, Graham. Thanks for the presentation. Apologies for the basic questions. You mayā€¦ some of the discussion just now may have answered my question without me realizing. I'm struggling to understand, technically, the relationship between the data 491 \ 00:59:21.080 --> 00:59:28.000 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: that we mightā€¦ we in a locality might provide to you to go into XMAP, and the same data that mightā€¦ 492 \ 00:59:28.300 --> 00:59:35.379 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: go into Parish Online were it available, and is there a relationship, or is it essentially two separate data sets? 493 \ 00:59:35.540 --> 00:59:37.460 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: If that makes sense, as a question. 494 \ 00:59:38.820 --> 00:59:52.189 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: I think it only applies if you've got somebody entering data into Parish Online locally, which is different from the data that you're providing to us through the survey reports. 495 \ 00:59:52.190 --> 00:59:52.780 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Okay. 496 \ 00:59:52.780 --> 01:00:02.389 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: But, yes, I mean, one of the beauties of having everybody on Parish Online would be that there wouldn't be the same need for, double entry. 497 \ 01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:10.320 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: You can enter the data straight away in Paris Online, and it would be available for everyone else to see, because 498 \ 01:00:10.320 --> 01:00:32.470 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: GSV would set it up as what's known as a collaborative layer, so that everybody can see it. By and large, what you put into Parish Online cannot be seen by any other parish, or even any other county, or anyone, but if you put it into a collaborative layer, then it would be visible to everyone, such as we're doing at the moment through XMAP on the Great Collaboration. 499 \ 01:00:32.470 --> 01:00:40.469 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Right, I see. So, so thatā€¦ that issue of maintenance will be resolved if parishes are maintaining their own data sets? 500 \ 01:00:40.470 --> 01:00:41.060 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Absolutely. 501 \ 01:00:41.060 --> 01:00:55.899 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: online, but in terms of those collaborative layers you've referred to, might that include, for example, environment agency, kind of, national flood maps, that kind of data set that would be useful to parishes, and they have no need to enter themselves, because it's already available. 502 \ 01:00:56.070 --> 01:01:09.220 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Correct. The way Parish Online works is that most of that sort of data from the Environment Agency is available to everybody, and you just zoom in to whichever part of the country you're in, and it'll show what's relevant to Weymouth. 503 \ 01:01:09.220 --> 01:01:12.789 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Yeah, I see, okay, that's helpful. Can I ask. 504 \ 01:01:12.790 --> 01:01:25.890 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Rob, can I just say, can I just emphasize, in Paris Online, we're very careful not to try to add data to existing national data sets. So what we do is we go into the environment agency database on a weekly basis. 505 \ 01:01:25.890 --> 01:01:26.800 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Oh, fantastic. 506 \ 01:01:26.800 --> 01:01:43.390 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Whatever's appropriate, and keep that data up to date. But we don'tā€¦ if there are mistakes in it, we don't correct them, because it's not our data. We're just acting as the publishers of that data on behalf. So the data that Graeme's talking about that wasā€¦ has been collected for the Great Collaboration, we wouldn't interfere with that. 507 \ 01:01:43.390 --> 01:01:43.869 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: I just gaveā€¦ 508 \ 01:01:43.870 --> 01:01:53.860 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: sort of the back end of the XMAP and publish our data withā€¦ if theyā€¦ if that's what youā€¦ everybody wants, and it would then be available in individual parish online accounts. 509 \ 01:01:53.860 --> 01:02:03.720 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Perfect. So, yeah, Paris Online would have those datasets already available, because you're putting them in and maintaining them. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Have I got time? Just a very quick question. 510 \ 01:02:03.990 --> 01:02:08.919 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: if I can, aboutā€¦ you mentioned local plan data, 511 \ 01:02:09.160 --> 01:02:17.560 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: I'm just trying to get myā€¦ briefly my head around what that means. So, in Weymouth, we just had a neighbourhood plan made. It's now been handed over to Dorset 512 \ 01:02:17.640 --> 01:02:34.050 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Dorset Council, does that mean the associated mapping data that was partā€¦ that is part of that neighbourhood plan is an example of a data set that we could request they make available toā€¦ to us in turn, if that makes sense locally? 513 \ 01:02:34.390 --> 01:02:40.020 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Well, the way that I meant it to be, Rob, is thatā€¦ 514 \ 01:02:40.170 --> 01:02:40.650 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Nick. 515 \ 01:02:40.650 --> 01:02:57.390 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: neighborhood plans have to conform to the local plan, so it really, really helps ifā€¦ I mean, the reasonā€¦ sorry, most people usually get hold of Parish Online in the first place, because they have to create a neighborhood plan, and it's the best way of doing so. 516 \ 01:02:57.780 --> 01:03:12.909 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Once you've started down the road of creating your neighbourhood plan, it has to conform with the local plan. So it's really, really helpful if the local plan is available in parish online, because then you've got the two together and you can 517 \ 01:03:12.980 --> 01:03:22.240 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: compare the maps and make sure that you aren't doing something that the local plan says you should not be doing, or vice versa. So, it really helps if the 518 \ 01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:37.160 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: county or whoever has produced your local plan would export it to Parish Online, so when you're doing your neighborhood plan, you can make sure that it complies, and you're making sure you're aligning the boundaries with whatever the local plan wants. 519 \ 01:03:37.720 --> 01:03:38.430 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: It varies. 520 \ 01:03:38.430 --> 01:03:38.880 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Oh my god. 521 \ 01:03:38.880 --> 01:03:53.669 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And you really, really, really don'tā€¦ I mean, for people like Andrew, who's done this, you don't want to have to recreate the local plan in your neighbourhood plan by drawing it yourself. It's much, much easier to get it if the Council publishes it for you. 522 \ 01:03:54.280 --> 01:03:55.000 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Soā€¦ 523 \ 01:03:55.000 --> 01:03:56.040 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Yeah, tight. 524 \ 01:03:56.040 --> 01:04:19.889 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: What I'm trying to say is that the more that councils can work out that it's to everyone's advantage for publishing the data, the better off we'll all be. And there is a huge educational gap, Rob. The vast majority of people at county level, or even district level, have no idea that their little parish councils underneath them 525 \ 01:04:19.890 --> 01:04:44.760 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: have access to a full-fledged GIS, and so it's news to them that a lot of them will not export any data for various reasons, like silos, or they think it's very important that they hang on to the data, but the ones that have been told that, you know, this is really, really helpful, and you can see it for themselves, then they go all out. I mean, I was in South Somerset until I moved to the Isle of Wight. 526 \ 01:04:44.760 --> 01:05:09.750 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And they actually decided to take on XMAP as their regional GIS, the South Somerset District Council took on an XMAP. And when we said, well, could we see it? They said, well, what do you want to see? And I said, all of it. And it literally took them less than an afternoon to send out 90 layers of information. But we've got all the tree preservation orders, we've got the conservation areas. 527 \ 01:05:09.750 --> 01:05:17.979 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: We've got the brown sites, we've got the green sites, the sites of special scientific interest, which I don't think come from the councils, that comes from anotherā€¦ 528 \ 01:05:17.980 --> 01:05:27.229 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: national level, but, it really was extraordinary how simple it was for them, and how marvelous it was for us. 529 \ 01:05:27.230 --> 01:05:51.639 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And the beauty of them putting out, for instance, their planning applications was you could go back for 15 years and see what had been done on that particular site in the past, which was actually very useful for councils trying to say, well, should we be letting these people do this or do that? And have the historic information there was really helpful. And it's a huge amount of data, which you have to do nothing but take a look at it. 530 \ 01:05:52.510 --> 01:06:16.499 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: fabulous. So the more you can persuade your Dorset Council to export their data, the better off they'll be. And the key point, I think, to them is because they all say they haven't got the time, they haven't got the resources, and you can turn around and say you don't need them, because Geosphere will do the work at no charge. All they've got, or your obligation, is to find out who 531 \ 01:06:16.580 --> 01:06:18.680 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Is responsible for the data. 532 \ 01:06:18.860 --> 01:06:22.880 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And who to talk to to put Geosphere in touch with them. 533 \ 01:06:23.120 --> 01:06:32.419 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So, imagine Geosphere's working for 10,000 councils. They can't take the time to find out who the guy is who owns the information. That's your job. 534 \ 01:06:32.570 --> 01:06:47.840 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: But if you were, for instance, to come along to the session on Friday afternoon, I'm going to show you how to do that, how you identify the person responsible, and then how you get them to say, yes, of course, we'll export the data, whom do we talk to in Geosphere? 535 \ 01:06:47.840 --> 01:07:05.579 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Yeah, okay. I mean, I'm not actually on the council, I'm involved with the council. Coincidentally, we do have a councillor on the call, but I wonderā€¦ sorry, thisā€¦ I mean, this is quite an important question. It sounds like the implication is you need a certain amount of dedicated resource in your town parish council to maintain 536 \ 01:07:05.650 --> 01:07:18.029 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: parish online. I feel there might be a slight barrier in having a business case to say, we need a paid resource to do this, because it is so important. But I don't know what Helen's thoughts are on that. 537 \ 01:07:18.580 --> 01:07:22.129 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Weymouth are actually quite big users of Paris Online. You took. 538 \ 01:07:22.130 --> 01:07:23.960 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Oh, we have it! I didn't know we had it. 539 \ 01:07:23.960 --> 01:07:26.199 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Yes, 3 or 4 years ago, you took it. 540 \ 01:07:26.430 --> 01:07:28.340 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Interesting. 541 \ 01:07:28.340 --> 01:07:30.170 \ Andrew Maliphant: You're muted, Taylor. 542 \ 01:07:32.850 --> 01:07:47.150 \ Amanda Davis: Sorry to interrupt. Well, Helen's unmuting herself. I was just going to say, I know how good Weymouth is as a fellow clerk, but I'm up in Gloucestershire, so not only do they know how to use it and have it, but they use it very well. 543 \ 01:07:47.150 --> 01:07:52.389 \ Cllr Helen Toft Weymouth Town Council: Yes, they do use it, but they don't, share with councillors access to it. 544 \ 01:07:53.220 --> 01:07:59.640 \ Cllr Helen Toft Weymouth Town Council: And, share with councillors what they're actually doing, because they see it as an operational thing. 545 \ 01:07:59.780 --> 01:08:11.419 \ Cllr Helen Toft Weymouth Town Council: Rather thanā€¦ but I haveā€¦ I have, you know, when I first heard about it, Iā€¦ Iā€¦ I rushed to see that they were using it. Yeah, but Iā€¦ I think maybe we need to pursueā€¦ 546 \ 01:08:12.340 --> 01:08:18.970 \ Cllr Helen Toft Weymouth Town Council: councillors having access and may be able to suggest to Dorset that it's, rolled out everywhere. 547 \ 01:08:19.330 --> 01:08:36.439 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Well, in terms of your councillors having it, there is a facility to make the users of parachion Line read-only, so there's no danger that you can go in and mess up the data. They just give you a read-only account, and you can see everything that's there, but not make changes to it. 548 \ 01:08:36.439 --> 01:08:38.299 \ Cllr Helen Toft Weymouth Town Council: Okay, I shall ask for one of those, then. 549 \ 01:08:38.299 --> 01:08:39.739 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Thank you. I wouldā€¦ 550 \ 01:08:39.939 --> 01:08:44.629 \ Amanda Davis: That's very helpful to me, too. So, thank you, Helen, because I'm also a counsellor. 551 \ 01:08:44.639 --> 01:09:00.079 \ Amanda Davis: Not in the same council, but where I'm a parish councillor, there has been a little bit of reticence to let me have access to things, and I think now I understand why, and the fact that there is a read-only 552 \ 01:09:00.079 --> 01:09:05.009 \ Amanda Davis: way of being a user. I think I'll try that at Council tonight. Thank you. 553 \ 01:09:05.880 --> 01:09:16.289 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: And it seems crazy, I mean, I can understand the operational thing and the sensitivity for data, but, you know, if you've got all those layers available, that is 100% a strategic, tool. 554 \ 01:09:16.290 --> 01:09:18.410 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Absolutely, yes, agreed. 555 \ 01:09:19.290 --> 01:09:20.290 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Peter. 556 \ 01:09:20.660 --> 01:09:32.350 \ Peter Bates: My understanding is, and somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, that in fact, once a parish has actually got a license for parish online, anybody, whoā€¦ well. 557 \ 01:09:32.350 --> 01:09:55.230 \ Peter Bates: anybody who the administrator has actually given permission could actually, add content to data or not, so it doesn't actually have to be local parish councillors. You know, my understanding is the license will cover multiple users, and it'd be up to the overall administrator to be able to allocate, 558 \ 01:09:55.230 --> 01:10:10.070 \ Peter Bates: users, accordingā€¦ and I assume it's possible to allocate users, whether they are read-only or have access to certain datasets where they can actually add data to as well. 559 \ 01:10:12.310 --> 01:10:18.860 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: I'm sort of pausing for Tristram if he wanted to say anything, but you're on mute, Tristram. 560 \ 01:10:19.150 --> 01:10:20.620 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Christian, you're on mute. 561 \ 01:10:22.520 --> 01:10:23.530 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Okay. 562 \ 01:10:23.820 --> 01:10:45.780 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Peter, if you're not a member of the Council, then that's not quite so easy. We needā€¦ we can do it, but we need to get OS's permission to look at PSGA data, and you needā€¦ you need to haveā€¦ there's a sort of subcontractor form, so we're making that more automatic and easier to do. But if you want people who aren't in the council, say a community group, you need to ask Geosphere 563 \ 01:10:45.790 --> 01:10:48.590 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: ask support at Geosphere to help you do it. 564 \ 01:10:48.590 --> 01:10:53.130 \ Peter Bates: Okay, so there is a procedure to go through. 565 \ 01:10:53.130 --> 01:10:58.270 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: It's pretty simple, but we can't just give everybody licenses if they're not members of the Council. 566 \ 01:10:58.780 --> 01:11:00.260 \ Peter Bates: Okay, thanks. 567 \ 01:11:01.230 --> 01:11:21.099 \ Andrew Maliphant: what we say to parishā€¦ what I'm saying to parish clerks around the country is, for heaven's sake, don't try and do this all yourself anyway. Climate change, nature recovery, you know, huge, huge stuff. Get involved, your local residents, you'll find all kinds of experts locally. And, in past conversations, Graham and I have been talking about this, and say, yes. 568 \ 01:11:21.100 --> 01:11:39.269 \ Andrew Maliphant: there needs to be somebody within each parish that has some kind of overview of this, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the poor old busy bad parish clock. And the more examples, perhaps, we can show of that, then the better. And it's also what, actually what both Amanda and Helen have just been saying. 569 \ 01:11:39.330 --> 01:11:53.539 \ Andrew Maliphant: is that the sort of clutching of data is no respecter of sizes of organization, that it can be clutched at parish level, it can be clutched at county level, and of course, what used to be referred to in general parlance as the People's Republic of South Somerset. 570 \ 01:11:53.540 --> 01:11:59.360 \ Andrew Maliphant: We're very, very much more community-oriented than some other councils. Anyway, enough said. 571 \ 01:11:59.360 --> 01:12:10.449 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Just before we switch to Andrew, could I just make a plea to everybody, please? That, I'm delighted if you could suggest areas that you'd like to see recorded on the map. 572 \ 01:12:10.680 --> 01:12:23.780 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: So just because we've set out, sort of, the first 20 or 30 line items, there's no reason whatsoever not to have ideas that you want. So if there's something in your area, or something you think would be useful. 573 \ 01:12:23.780 --> 01:12:35.950 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: across the country, please just let me know, because we can tailor the surveys to cover any sorts of information at all. And we've just come up with the first few as an idea to get started, butā€¦ 574 \ 01:12:36.050 --> 01:12:43.189 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Beyond that And now we've killed Andrew. Do youā€¦ you removed your request, Andrew. 575 \ 01:12:43.540 --> 01:12:52.309 \ Andrew Clegg, Martock, Somerset: Yes, it's just a little note that XMAP has a very useful facility where you can give 576 \ 01:12:52.420 --> 01:12:55.379 \ Andrew Clegg, Martock, Somerset: Specific people, 577 \ 01:12:56.330 --> 01:13:10.919 \ Andrew Clegg, Martock, Somerset: full access to certain layers, but not all the layers. But Parish Online doesn't do that, and I'm just wondering whether that is something that Parish Online might like to consider, so that, 578 \ 01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:23.470 \ Andrew Clegg, Martock, Somerset: I use it a lot with Xmap, because I don't want people messing around with most of the layers, but on the other hand, I want certain people to put information on their particular layers. 579 \ 01:13:24.750 --> 01:13:29.339 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: Andrew, I'm very sympathetic with that view, and we're working on it. 580 \ 01:13:29.860 --> 01:13:48.500 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: One ofā€¦ one of the problems is when we started Parash Online, we wanted to make it a very simple system that everybody could drive, and it's, you know, that's justā€¦ it's another complication, and it involves different software, so you'd have to make some internal changes to the software base. So it's notā€¦ it's not easy, but I'm very sympathetic with that idea. 581 \ 01:13:50.230 --> 01:13:51.719 \ tristram cary Winchfield Hants: So I hope it'll arrive. 582 \ 01:13:51.720 --> 01:13:52.310 \ Andrew Clegg, Martock, Somerset: Pugh. 583 \ 01:13:52.620 --> 01:13:55.589 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Is there anybody else with any more questions, please? 584 \ 01:13:55.590 --> 01:13:57.259 \ Amanda Davis: I've got a quick one, if I may. 585 \ 01:13:57.510 --> 01:14:10.039 \ Amanda Davis: And that was just, you know when you said about, which, you suggest a way, if we had any thoughts, is there an interest in putting in locations of car clubs, like community car clubs? 586 \ 01:14:10.040 --> 01:14:12.499 \ Andrew Maliphant: I'll just show you what we've got at the moment, shall I, Amanda. 587 \ 01:14:12.500 --> 01:14:14.190 \ Amanda Davis: Yeah, that'd be really good, thank you. 588 \ 01:14:14.190 --> 01:14:15.149 \ Andrew Maliphant: There it is. 589 \ 01:14:15.320 --> 01:14:19.030 \ Andrew Maliphant: Allotments, there we go. This is about local groups. 590 \ 01:14:19.340 --> 01:14:28.939 \ Andrew Maliphant: And the criteria for it is at least 3 active volunteers that meet regularly, not something that's dormant, you know. Allotments, ocean, bike trains, car club, there you are, Community Energy. 591 \ 01:14:29.040 --> 01:14:30.949 \ Andrew Maliphant: Booty fridge, heatingā€¦ 592 \ 01:14:31.130 --> 01:14:43.620 \ Andrew Maliphant: Cycling club, liftshare, parish cluster, there's more than one cluster of parish going together, rights of way, groups, you know, people that tidy up rights of way, some great, very important sort of thing to do, and then there's also an other. 593 \ 01:14:43.820 --> 01:14:46.509 \ Andrew Maliphant: So that's the list we've got at the moment. 594 \ 01:14:47.480 --> 01:14:55.799 \ Andrew Maliphant: And you're going to ask me, where can I see a copy of that list, and I'm going to see if I can operate that, but I can goā€¦ I can put it in the chat, can't I? 595 \ 01:14:55.800 --> 01:14:56.649 \ Amanda Davis: Yeah, that'd be great. 596 \ 01:14:56.650 --> 01:15:09.599 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: in the chat is also on the map, so if you look at the map, you can just look at the layers that are there and see what you canā€¦ is already there, and what you can add to. There is a wonderful catch-all line there called Other, where you can put in whatever you like. 597 \ 01:15:10.570 --> 01:15:13.569 \ Amanda Davis: Yeah, I think flood wardens would be a really good one. 598 \ 01:15:13.780 --> 01:15:14.550 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Agreed. 599 \ 01:15:14.850 --> 01:15:15.740 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Agreed. 600 \ 01:15:15.910 --> 01:15:16.630 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Actually, I'llā€¦ 601 \ 01:15:16.680 --> 01:15:19.059 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: somebody else put a hand up, was it Rob? 602 \ 01:15:19.060 --> 01:15:26.200 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Yeah, it was me, sorry. I was just going to add to that very thought about flood wardens, going back to the community emergency planning. 603 \ 01:15:26.370 --> 01:15:37.910 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: conversation. I think knowing where community emergency plans or groups are active would be really useful. I don't know if people know, but you can register on Communities Prepared, your 604 \ 01:15:37.910 --> 01:15:48.000 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: community emergency planning group, so I don't know if they've got existing data that they can share, but I think knowing that there's a community emergency plan somewhere in your community. 605 \ 01:15:48.080 --> 01:15:54.240 \ Rob Cheeseman-also Weymouth!: Because emergencies by nature don't stick to a defined geographical area, could be a useful thing to see. 606 \ 01:15:55.580 --> 01:15:56.170 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Sweet. 607 \ 01:15:56.670 --> 01:16:03.589 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: Well, thank you all very much for your time. I am responding to a desperate brother. 608 \ 01:16:03.860 --> 01:16:18.650 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: who wants to be fed, but if anyone else wishes to continue the conversation, they're very welcome to carry on without me. Otherwise, thank you all so much for showing up, and for putting up with my idiases in presenting the information. I'll try and get that cracked by 4 the next time. 609 \ 01:16:18.650 --> 01:16:34.830 \ Graham Stoddart-Stones - Great Collaboration - Isle of Wight: And, see you all next time.

GIS enables compatability and two-way sharing Where do layers come from Examples of nationwide (flooding), and why ours are only regional so far What others are doing ā€“ Norfolk examples XMAP and its relationship with PO ā€“ why counties should adopt Ć  la B\&NES Examples from our current XMAP Data supplied implies permission to publish (we are learning as we go along to add the things we got wrong in the earlier surveys) ā€“ eg personal email addresses, phone numbers ## Slide 3 What is Digital Mapping? Google Maps SatNav in your car Weather maps on TV ## Slide 4 How does it work An underlying base map (Ordnance Survey in the UK) Layers of data to be overlaid on the base Layers can be: Points (bus stops, exercise stops) Lines (footpaths, boundaries) Polygons (areas, buildings) Or any combination thereof Features ā€“ ie items in layers ā€“ can contain data and attachments Known as Geographical Information Systems (GIS) ā€“ ensuring compatability, and two-way data flow ## Slide 5 Typical digital map, with Ordnance Survey map on the right ā€“ note whole country available Collections of layers in the left column ## Slide 6 Have zoomed and scrolled into an area of Somerset (The Levels ā€“ known to flood) In left column, have toggled on Floods collection to open up Floods Layers ā€“ none selected ## Slide 7 Have turned on ā€˜Flood Zonesā€™ by clicking in its layer once (toggle ā€˜Onā€™) ## Slide 8 A major feature of digital mapping is that the layers all follow as you scroll/zoom Have added the Legend here for more information ## Slide 9 Where do layers come from? Government ā€“ particularly at county and district level Government agencies ā€“ eg Environment Agency, Land Registry Other organisations: Friends of the Earth, Historic England, Natural England, Sports England, NHS Self-generated: Great Collaboration, parish councils ## Slide 10 Uses being made of digital mapping Samples follow from the Local Nature Recovery Strategy in place in Norfolk and Suffolk ## Slide 11 ## Slide 12 ## Slide 13 ## Slide 14 ## Slide 15 ## Slide 16 What the Great Collaboration is doing Using XMAP ā€“ which is big brother to Parish Online Added one whole-country layer - flooding In pilot area of East Anglia, sent out two surveys to parishes in 2025 ā€“ one for Activities, one for Volunteer Groups Now published in the Knowledgebase, accessible via the website ## Slide 17 Access our Digital Mapping from the GC website, under ā€˜About The Projectā€™ ## Slide 18 If you know about how our mapping works, jump straight to the menu If not, check out the instructions first ## Slide 19 You have already seen the Floods menu, so choosing Activities instead ## Slide 20 System defaults to whole UK. Letā€™s focus on East Anglia for the moment Note that you can enter a Postcode to jump directly to a known place - You will likely need to scroll out a bit when you get there! ## Slide 21 Once we are in our chosen spot, click on the Layers box to see whatā€™s available ## Slide 22 Can select one or more layers from the list ā€“ letā€™s start with Community Allotments (click on it) ## Slide 23 Can either add another layer ā€“ say, Repair CafĆ©s ā€“ or toggle off Allotments, and then on CafĆ©s ## Slide 24 To find out more information on any one item, double click on it - we are going with the Repair CafĆ© in Whittlesey ## Slide 25 If there is more than one entry for the same place, you will get an extra choice ā€“ so here, we click on Repair CafĆ© ## Slide 26 A popup box opens with additional data ā€“ note that it is scrollable ## Slide 27 Additional Notes: Our data comes currently from our two surveys ā€“ we will update these and make them available to more people across the UK Data supplied implies permission to publish (we are learning as we go along to add the things we got wrong in the earlier surveys) ā€“ eg personal email addresses, phone numbers Some thoughts about XMAP and Parish Online on next page ## Slide 28 XMAP is big brother to Parish Online ā€“ suggested for parish and town councils Geoxphere will export our XMAP data to Parish Online if there is sufficient demand Parish Online most expediently purchased by Counties for all their parishes ā€“ major discounts thereby Parish Online will take all local (County/Unitary/District outputs Really, really a major timesaver for (next page): ## Slide 29 Planning Applications Tree Preservation Orders Conservation Areas Local Plans Etc etc etc ā€“ B\&NES exports 400 layers constantly to its parishes via Parish Online There is no cost to either party to export the data ā€“ Geoxphere does it for free --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
