Summary

Team Attendance and Biosphere Reserve Discussion

Andrew, tristram, and Jacky discussed team member attendance. Jacky joined and left the meeting, while Amanda Davis's attendance was anticipated for her ideas. They noted the need to revisit topics due to new members and a Zoom sign-in issue that Andrew suggested examining. Chris, their Zoom manager, was absent due to a sailing trip. Andrew mentioned his role in setting up meeting invitations. He discussed creating a biosphere reserve in the Forest of Dean, with upcoming events including talks by Ed Gemel and Mike Ackles, and the involvement of Chris Mcflyne. The team considered applying the biosphere reserve concept to other areas. Andrew and Jacky discussed revisiting topics like parish councils, flood risk, allotments, and village halls. Andrew shared a case study about retrofitting a village hall, interesting Jacky. Jacky proposed parish councils creating mini forests, prompting Amanda to suggest discussing the process of acquiring and managing woodlands.

Sustainable Lighting for Sports Associations

The team discussed the importance of sustainable lighting for sports associations and its impact on the environment and wildlife. Amanda shared her expertise on lighting and planning issues, while Jacky highlighted the successful switch to LED lights by the Local Sports Association. David proposed creating checklists and toolkits to assist Parish Councils in navigating sustainable lighting complexities. Andrew agreed, suggesting the use of a template for recording good practices and the conversion of this template into a wiki for easy access and interlinking of information. The team also discussed the potential for anyone to edit the pages, with the responsibility falling to a designated adult to ensure accuracy and remove any inappropriate content.

Allotment Collaboration and Carbon Reduction Strategy

tristram and Andrew proposed a collaboration with the Allotment Society to enhance and promote allotments, with plans to secure funding from various sources. Amanda shared that her Parish Environment Committee was revising their allotment policies to be more inclusive and environmentally friendly, including the introduction of beekeeping. The group agreed to pursue these leads and continue discussions with relevant parties. Additionally, the involvement of community experts in parish councils, particularly in relation to biodiversity net gain and climate and environment initiatives, was discussed. Lastly, David presented a strategy to reduce carbon emissions, with a focus on major areas like transport and domestic generation, and Amanda sought clarification on its district council perspective and whether it included a food and drink component.

Targeted Approach for Reducing CO2 Emissions

David and tristram discussed the need for a targeted approach to reducing CO2 emissions, with a focus on key contributors at the district and parish levels. David introduced the concept of Campaign Planning from the military to simplify project planning and emphasized the importance of collaboration across different sectors. They agreed on the potential benefits of having a set of plans that could be adapted to meet individual towns and parishes, and the possibility of converting these into task lists. Both highlighted the need for a more structured approach to community energy projects and other initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions, and the importance of leveraging existing collaboration and links to parishes and districts.

Project Direction and Collaboration Plans

David agreed to send over his presentation to Andrew, while Amanda expressed her appreciation for the structure and direction of the project. She suggested focusing on small, manageable steps to make a big difference at the local level, and proposed listing a series of potential topics for future discussions. David and tristram shared their experiences as parish councilors and emphasized the need for collaboration between the district and parish councils. The team also discussed the potential for vertical connections up through the districts and counties.

Green Investments and Community-Led Projects

Stuart proposed that local authority pension funds could be used to invest in green projects, with Andrew agreeing that such investments should ideally yield a decent return. Jacky introduced the successful renewable energy project of Harbory, a community group turned community interest company, as an example of how community-led efforts can thrive with the right support. Andrew discussed ongoing activities and the application for a lottery bid to cover costs, while tristram suggested identifying priority areas for methodology and guidance in the content group and the potential of using engineered wood for construction. Lastly, Andrew emphasized the importance of engaging with new government ministers to promote the interests of the Town Parish Council sector, which he felt had been marginalized.

Gloucestershire Association Lobbying for Government Support

Amanda discussed the motions passed by the Gloucestershire Association of Harris and Town Councils, which called for lobbying the government on issues related to new homes, estate management, and biodiversity net gain requirements. She highlighted the need for public ownership of ponds and flood management systems to ensure proper maintenance and prevent flooding. Andrew mentioned the new director of policy and external services at SLCC and the potential for SLCC to add weight to their campaigning and lobbying efforts. The conversation ended with plans to improve communication methods to reach the growing number of members and a report from Peterborough Environment and City Trust scheduled for the following week.

1
00:13:05.010 --> 00:13:06.120
tristram cary: Hello! Andrew.

2
00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:10.949
Andrew Maliphant: Christian. Thanks. Your email. Very good jacky appeared and then disappeared again. So I expect she'll be back.

3
00:13:10.950 --> 00:13:13.260
tristram cary: Just just us. That's extraordinary.

4
00:13:13.260 --> 00:13:13.580
Andrew Maliphant: Well.

5
00:13:13.830 --> 00:13:14.330
tristram cary: Let's see.

6
00:13:14.330 --> 00:13:19.340
Andrew Maliphant: This is the difference between here she comes. The difference between having a clear topic and a general discussion.

7
00:13:19.340 --> 00:13:20.906
tristram cary: Yes. Yeah.

8
00:13:21.690 --> 00:13:23.659
Andrew Maliphant: No idea how many of us they would be.

9
00:13:25.030 --> 00:13:26.290
Andrew Maliphant: Hi! Jackie!

10
00:13:26.290 --> 00:13:27.555
Jacky Lawrence: Hello!

11
00:13:28.820 --> 00:13:31.646
Andrew Maliphant: Amanda Davis doesn't turn up, but we'll see

12
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:33.240
Jacky Lawrence: Oh, she's.

13
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:40.309
Andrew Maliphant: No, she's got some ideas for for the program. So yeah, she mentioned it last time.

14
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.919
Andrew Maliphant: Thank you, David. Good to see you here what I'll do. I'll put up the list so we could start thinking about it.

15
00:13:47.540 --> 00:13:48.340
Andrew Maliphant: We've got what we.

16
00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:49.760
tristram cary: There's a bar.

17
00:13:50.340 --> 00:13:53.269
Andrew Maliphant: And my work. We've done quite a lot.

18
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:55.529
tristram cary: Yeah, it's totally good, isn't.

19
00:14:01.540 --> 00:14:06.670
Jacky Lawrence: Don't you think there'll come a time when we have to revisit ones that have already been done, cause we'll get new people on.

20
00:14:06.670 --> 00:14:16.490
Andrew Maliphant: Well, we're already having. We've got carbon literacy coming again on the 14th from the Carbon Literacy project. Yes, if there's any that we think, oh, go away

21
00:14:17.610 --> 00:14:23.540
Andrew Maliphant: any that we think need particularly refreshing. Let's let's let's think about that. Certainly. Yeah.

22
00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:26.992
Andrew Maliphant: yeah, David, understand about signing in what's

23
00:14:28.196 --> 00:14:28.903
Andrew Maliphant: Chris?

24
00:14:31.470 --> 00:14:51.660
Andrew Maliphant: Sorry, Graham, who who manages these zoom sessions? He! He's been thwarted from being spending more time with us this month through adverse winds on his ending trip, and so he hasn't. He was only with us a couple of days for it to go back to Spain, so he hasn't looked again at the issue that we have with signing in with it, with the zoom.

25
00:14:51.730 --> 00:14:53.952
Andrew Maliphant: I've had a look at it myself.

26
00:14:55.220 --> 00:15:16.559
Andrew Maliphant: This is about advanced registration. I haven't been able to pick it out. We will have to look at that more closely. We may have to ring Zoom to work out what it is. I'm wondering. I'm wondering out loud whether in terms of the advanced registration that there's a there's a sort of file folder for it within zoom, and we've filled up the you know the storage space.

27
00:15:16.570 --> 00:15:19.179
Andrew Maliphant: That's only a single guess on my part.

28
00:15:19.521 --> 00:15:24.940
Andrew Maliphant: But yeah, it's we need to get back to how easy it was to join in before.

29
00:15:26.670 --> 00:15:27.500
Jacky Lawrence: Got in

30
00:15:27.630 --> 00:15:30.359
Jacky Lawrence: through signing in for next week's again.

31
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:31.939
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah, that's right, yeah.

32
00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:35.099
Jacky Lawrence: And got straight in by doing that registered for the event.

33
00:15:35.250 --> 00:15:36.070
Jacky Lawrence: Once.

34
00:15:36.070 --> 00:15:42.519
Andrew Maliphant: Once we've yeah, once once the meeting is started it's easy to log straight in, and we found that out.

35
00:15:43.305 --> 00:15:52.689
Andrew Maliphant: but to say, unfortunately, Chris, I keep trying to say Chris Graham was only with us for a couple of days. before he had to go back again.

36
00:15:53.050 --> 00:16:02.129
Andrew Maliphant: as he was say, was helping to sail the sale. The ship out out to Spain came back to do some work, and then he had to fly back again to shale ship back again, so that's where he is.

37
00:16:02.520 --> 00:16:05.609
Andrew Maliphant: But he should be with us by the end of August. I'll be well.

38
00:16:09.640 --> 00:16:11.440
tristram cary: Is Joel's going to join us. Do you think.

39
00:16:11.920 --> 00:16:12.400
Andrew Maliphant: Pause.

40
00:16:15.090 --> 00:16:16.140
Andrew Maliphant: I don't know.

41
00:16:18.014 --> 00:16:22.650
Andrew Maliphant: I've been rather being a bit of a caretaker chairman of the sort of setting out the invitations every.

42
00:16:23.185 --> 00:16:23.720
David Morgan-Jones: I'm.

43
00:16:25.791 --> 00:16:29.170
Andrew Maliphant: people tend not to say whether they're coming or not. They just tend to turn up.

44
00:16:30.636 --> 00:16:35.073
Andrew Maliphant: Hopefully, also, what we'll what I'll do at the end of this session, however long it takes is

45
00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:42.990
Andrew Maliphant: I'll email what we've talked about and email, the you know, these notes I've got here around the whole team.

46
00:16:43.130 --> 00:16:51.385
Andrew Maliphant: I'll audience and we'll speak. Give people opportunity to make any other suggestions. Let's say I know Amanda was going to be speaking to somebody else about it.

47
00:16:52.340 --> 00:16:54.360
Andrew Maliphant: see where we go from there.

48
00:16:56.130 --> 00:16:56.930
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

49
00:16:59.350 --> 00:17:05.990
Andrew Maliphant: So, as I say, it may be just the 4 of us. I don't know but I think the idea as well as the new stuff

50
00:17:06.695 --> 00:17:09.024
Andrew Maliphant: Trisha was suggested. Something on

51
00:17:10.109 --> 00:17:11.869
Andrew Maliphant: a timber construction.

52
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:16.029
Andrew Maliphant: Let's see if I can find my notes. From what Amanda said last time.

53
00:17:17.700 --> 00:17:19.020
tristram cary: About timber, construction.

54
00:17:19.020 --> 00:17:21.711
Andrew Maliphant: No, not about about.

55
00:17:22.790 --> 00:17:25.829
Andrew Maliphant: there was some. She was got climate, anxiety. There we are.

56
00:17:27.569 --> 00:17:35.430
Andrew Maliphant: So I'll add that to the list. Obviously, that is a valid sort of item.

57
00:17:36.120 --> 00:17:36.970
Andrew Maliphant: Adam.

58
00:17:37.450 --> 00:17:40.119
Andrew Maliphant: and keep being told that young people have got

59
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:41.900
Andrew Maliphant: concerns about.

60
00:17:42.250 --> 00:17:44.225
Andrew Maliphant: It's possibly even more than

61
00:17:45.770 --> 00:17:49.700
Andrew Maliphant: those of us who silver in our heads. We'll see. There we are.

62
00:17:50.040 --> 00:17:56.170
Andrew Maliphant: So that was one suggestion. As you'll see the next 5 we I've managed to get some great volunteers along

63
00:17:56.940 --> 00:18:01.950
Andrew Maliphant: per paper. Environmental City Trust are coming on the 7.th

64
00:18:02.170 --> 00:18:05.520
Andrew Maliphant: The Carbon Literacy project itself is coming on the 14.th

65
00:18:05.600 --> 00:18:09.200
Andrew Maliphant: My friend Ed Gamel, who's a very good speaker indeed.

66
00:18:09.850 --> 00:18:12.010
Andrew Maliphant: but some practical approach on 21, st

67
00:18:12.090 --> 00:18:16.890
Andrew Maliphant: Mike Eccles, who's a regular attendant. These events is going to talk about all things they're doing in pay on. Why.

68
00:18:17.110 --> 00:18:20.509
Andrew Maliphant: and Chris Mcfarlane, one of the

69
00:18:20.650 --> 00:18:25.199
Andrew Maliphant: Cabinet members in the Forest of Dean District Council, have been heavily involved in this member of the Green party.

70
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.510
Andrew Maliphant: We have particular thing in the Forest of Dean about a biosphere.

71
00:18:29.108 --> 00:18:30.900
Andrew Maliphant: For us to dean.

72
00:18:30.910 --> 00:18:33.070
Andrew Maliphant: Some of us may or may not know.

73
00:18:33.330 --> 00:18:39.629
Andrew Maliphant: There were 2 reports made after the the Second World War about protected landscapes, national parks.

74
00:18:39.690 --> 00:18:44.310
Andrew Maliphant: America was 1st in with national parks idea. I think it was. Yellowstone is the 1st ever one

75
00:18:45.068 --> 00:18:53.540
Andrew Maliphant: and there are 2 reports looking at places where they should be national parks or brick landscapes in some sort or another.

76
00:18:53.810 --> 00:18:56.710
Andrew Maliphant: the Forrester Dean featured on both lists.

77
00:18:57.154 --> 00:19:00.309
Andrew Maliphant: But has never actually had any particular designation.

78
00:19:00.852 --> 00:19:06.489
Andrew Maliphant: Bits of the forest. There's a y Valley A and B, but not the forest itself.

79
00:19:06.620 --> 00:19:10.200
Andrew Maliphant: So its protection has been mostly because it's owned by the Crown.

80
00:19:10.632 --> 00:19:23.800
Andrew Maliphant: But there's the idea about having a Biosphere reserve is something that's come through locally and it will be interesting to hear from Chris how that develops, how that has developed. And of course, think about whether that might be applied as a concept

81
00:19:24.230 --> 00:19:25.740
Andrew Maliphant: elsewhere. Yeah.

82
00:19:26.760 --> 00:19:31.220
Andrew Maliphant: So, Jackie, you said, what are there other things that we might want to revisit?

83
00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:36.631
Jacky Lawrence: Yeah, I was just having a look at what the responsibilities or the roles of parish councils.

84
00:19:37.130 --> 00:19:44.739
Jacky Lawrence: So I was just having a look at the list of things we've already covered, and possibly things that might I mean, I can't recommend speakers.

85
00:19:45.256 --> 00:19:51.840
Jacky Lawrence: but I was just looking at this, so I know we've already done flood risk, haven't we? But allotments

86
00:19:52.485 --> 00:19:59.099
Jacky Lawrence: village halls, I mean, I don't know if there's any good case studies. There must be some village halls that are like net 0.

87
00:19:59.100 --> 00:20:07.639
Andrew Maliphant: Well, funny you should say that because I've got Liz Shayla, who is from Somerset, who we did a case study with her

88
00:20:08.413 --> 00:20:08.996
Andrew Maliphant: on

89
00:20:10.324 --> 00:20:12.420
Andrew Maliphant: retrofitting a village hall.

90
00:20:12.665 --> 00:20:18.539
Andrew Maliphant: It was an interesting story, because they went down a long way down the road, and that it discovered, because the All had a metal roof.

91
00:20:18.590 --> 00:20:21.370
Andrew Maliphant: There were practical issues with pulling panels on it.

92
00:20:21.370 --> 00:20:21.990
Jacky Lawrence: Yes.

93
00:20:21.990 --> 00:20:26.419
Andrew Maliphant: However, good news is. The next door to them was the scout hut.

94
00:20:26.580 --> 00:20:34.370
Andrew Maliphant: and they could put pals on the scouts. They've so that's altogether quite a fascinating story, so I'll I'll make a note of that

95
00:20:35.115 --> 00:20:38.769
Andrew Maliphant: to chase up that with with Liz. That'd be fine.

96
00:20:39.810 --> 00:20:52.409
Jacky Lawrence: There's just what there's another thing from from our experience where we we are. The Parish Council own a spinney, a small woodland which is outside or just on the edges of the parish boundary.

97
00:20:52.761 --> 00:21:03.689
Jacky Lawrence: And so one of the suggestions that they haven't said. But somebody else has said just one of the members of the public is, why don't they sell that and buy some land

98
00:21:04.140 --> 00:21:16.830
Jacky Lawrence: within the village envelope to plant tree and plant trees? So I don't know whether there's any experience of parish councils creating their own little mini forests, or something.

99
00:21:16.830 --> 00:21:20.030
Andrew Maliphant: Okay, sale and purchase, shall I? Yeah.

100
00:21:20.030 --> 00:21:21.690
Jacky Lawrence: Yeah, Andrew.

101
00:21:21.690 --> 00:21:26.453
Amanda Davis: I've got an idea on that one. It's Amanda here.

102
00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:46.799
Amanda Davis: North Leach, Pauline. Is the clerk there, and they they inherited, or they were they asked for and were gifted by Cotswold District Council, some woodland that they're now managing, that they didn't have before but there's more to it than that, and I wonder whether that might be of interest.

103
00:21:47.610 --> 00:21:49.329
Jacky Lawrence: Woodland management. Yes.

104
00:21:49.330 --> 00:21:59.720
Amanda Davis: It. Well, it was about how they got the track, how they got it, they how they came into ownership of it, and how they're now managing it and running it, and what what the issues have been.

105
00:22:00.810 --> 00:22:01.570
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

106
00:22:02.302 --> 00:22:05.980
Amanda Davis: North, Leach, you know that's just down the road from Boughton on the water.

107
00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:06.600
Andrew Maliphant: Indeed.

108
00:22:07.300 --> 00:22:22.002
Jacky Lawrence: Another thing that we've just supported as the climate and Environment Working group is the Local Sports Association. Changing their floodlights to Leds and getting a grant for it. So I'm sure there's lots of parish councils

109
00:22:22.530 --> 00:22:28.830
Jacky Lawrence: with sports associations close by them that might also want to use Leds.

110
00:22:29.900 --> 00:22:37.460
Amanda Davis: And a and also it's about the angling of the lights as well for dark sky status and for the owls and nightlife.

111
00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:44.669
Amanda Davis: If you've got a nature reserve next to you. So if it's anything on lighting, I've got a little bit of knowledge and contact on that.

112
00:22:44.830 --> 00:23:14.589
Amanda Davis: but it's a it's a an adjacent issue. It's a different issue to when Jackie's raising, which is about a program of replacing with Led. But this is this is about not just leds per se, but about the angling of them. So they angle downwards, or we just have experience where we've got a a plan, a new planning development instead of having floodlights on the top of their 2 story building angled down. They've done these posts where there's a light at the top, but they're like bollards.

113
00:23:14.710 --> 00:23:17.080
Amanda Davis: So they've kept the lighting much lower.

114
00:23:17.590 --> 00:23:39.310
Amanda Davis: So it's sort of planning issues for lighting and also lighting when you're next to a nature reserve. And one of the planning restrictions is that you can't have street lighting. So what do you do? And if you haven't thought about putting street lighting restrictions on when you've got on the edge of green space, etc. Thinking about dark sky status.

115
00:23:39.900 --> 00:23:48.490
Jacky Lawrence: It's not just that. It's the web lighting affects butterflies and moths, and their ability to like continue their species.

116
00:23:49.010 --> 00:24:03.630
Andrew Maliphant: Sport sport England, how developing a policy whereby they won't grow people unless they to clubs unless they are paying attention to some of these matters. We do have a link to the conservation officer there, so maybe that would be good person to come across David. You got your hand up, then.

117
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:09.460
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah, just a just a general observation and and and some thoughts.

118
00:24:09.820 --> 00:24:14.100
David Morgan-Jones: I mean, I've now that Tristan very kindly invited me in.

119
00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:23.910
David Morgan-Jones: this. This has been fascinating, and the amount of information that that we're I'm beginning to sort of absorb is, you know, almost sort of get my brain melting out my ears.

120
00:24:26.580 --> 00:24:28.820
David Morgan-Jones: I just wonder

121
00:24:29.610 --> 00:24:36.990
David Morgan-Jones: whether there is a way of taking all this fantastic stuff that people are advising and and talking about.

122
00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:42.328
David Morgan-Jones: I'm producing a series of checklists and toolkits.

123
00:24:43.310 --> 00:24:49.749
David Morgan-Jones: because it's so difficult to handle the huge amount of information that's now out there.

124
00:24:49.850 --> 00:24:52.499
David Morgan-Jones: And if you're quite a naive

125
00:24:52.800 --> 00:24:56.729
David Morgan-Jones: Parish Council, which I think the majority of Parish councils are.

126
00:24:57.410 --> 00:25:02.570
David Morgan-Jones: if they want to try and and start to make inroads into some of this stuff.

127
00:25:03.490 --> 00:25:10.309
David Morgan-Jones: Just a simple idiot's guide to so getting going would be incredibly helpful.

128
00:25:11.078 --> 00:25:37.950
David Morgan-Jones: With more detail information if you wanted it. So you know, lighting on sports fields is not going to be an issue for us, but it may well be for a number of others. So the ability to go, you know, lighting. Okay? And then go into the lighting checklist and all those sort of issues and problems associated with, you know that. And it's impact. I mean, I hadn't even thought about, you know, dark skies. But you're absolutely right. And then it's impact on.

129
00:25:38.303 --> 00:25:39.009
tristram cary: Local population.

130
00:25:39.010 --> 00:25:46.099
David Morgan-Jones: Too. You suddenly realize. Gosh, yeah. And then, maybe making sure you only have it on when you need to have it on

131
00:25:46.972 --> 00:25:51.200
David Morgan-Jones: that type of thing. So it's about, how do we begin to

132
00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:53.790
David Morgan-Jones: harness this knowledge

133
00:25:53.850 --> 00:25:56.040
David Morgan-Jones: in a way that really

134
00:25:56.642 --> 00:26:01.797
David Morgan-Jones: allows us to get on and start doing some stuff as opposed to talking about stuff.

135
00:26:02.120 --> 00:26:05.320
Andrew Maliphant: You've just described the great Collaborations Mission, David.

136
00:26:06.130 --> 00:26:17.029
Andrew Maliphant: which is absolutely spot on. And and no, I'm not. You know it's true. What we're looking to do is is to make joining up the dots, make what we call making the climate jungle more navigable

137
00:26:17.050 --> 00:26:31.060
Andrew Maliphant: because you're right. There's too much stuff out there. And of course, every time somebody has a bright idea, yeah, the jungle gets thicker. Yeah, exactly. So what I've got on the screen now is the template we've developed for recording such good practice.

138
00:26:31.100 --> 00:26:38.006
Andrew Maliphant: and we're actively working on. We've got a small team working on populating this. I'll see if I've got the one about

139
00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:44.249
Andrew Maliphant: Let me get rid of that one. I've got the one about. We've done about allotments and

140
00:26:47.580 --> 00:26:49.260
Andrew Maliphant: Where is it? Okay.

141
00:26:49.910 --> 00:26:53.319
Andrew Maliphant: we've we should be assigned a worked example, which is

142
00:26:54.030 --> 00:26:54.940
Andrew Maliphant: a

143
00:26:56.212 --> 00:27:03.820
Andrew Maliphant: actually, while I wrote myself. But then, since it's been marked markedly improved by several other people.

144
00:27:04.330 --> 00:27:05.349
Andrew Maliphant: Here we go

145
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:09.690
Andrew Maliphant: right.

146
00:27:09.890 --> 00:27:11.069
Andrew Maliphant: I can't approve.

147
00:27:15.820 --> 00:27:20.090
Andrew Maliphant: Alright. So creating new allotments. Here it is.

148
00:27:20.380 --> 00:27:26.896
Andrew Maliphant: It's already been suggested. This would have been improved by having some graphics in it. But there we go. So creating new allotments.

149
00:27:27.814 --> 00:27:33.109
Andrew Maliphant: so I mean, any project like this obviously needs to have a leader. We can agree on that

150
00:27:33.210 --> 00:27:39.309
Andrew Maliphant: parish town councils. That's 1 of the few statutory duties we have as parish and town councils to look into finding new allotments.

151
00:27:39.410 --> 00:27:51.160
Andrew Maliphant: There are funding sources. There's a National Allotment Society who obviously can advise and anybody want to try and find your nearest local council with allotments.

152
00:27:51.170 --> 00:27:54.860
Andrew Maliphant: There's some skills that require. These are the resources.

153
00:27:56.601 --> 00:28:07.009
Andrew Maliphant: some people say, even if it's poor soil, you can add more soil on top of it. But anyway, this is this is sort of a checklist materials that you need. Certainly fencing potentially a notice board

154
00:28:07.700 --> 00:28:08.760
Andrew Maliphant: possibly sheds

155
00:28:09.122 --> 00:28:13.360
Andrew Maliphant: planning authority, approval for change of use depending on where or what it is?

156
00:28:13.878 --> 00:28:28.860
Andrew Maliphant: Contractors, if you not need, do we need contractors, or can we do it ourselves? We might need contractors, we may be able to do it ourselves if we're gonna have water on site, which is a clinical thing, you know. Do we need to? Is it got water on the site? Do we need to lay pipes.

157
00:28:28.930 --> 00:28:32.639
Andrew Maliphant: and that so there we are. And so in terms of the steps to success.

158
00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:36.629
Andrew Maliphant: There we? There we go, find a suitable site, negotiate, purchase all.

159
00:28:36.630 --> 00:28:49.759
David Morgan-Jones: Andrew Andrew, would this be possible? i i i'm I'm I'm asking what would be really, really helpful, I think, is if we could convert these word documents into a Wiki

160
00:28:49.890 --> 00:28:51.260
David Morgan-Jones: Wikipedia type.

161
00:28:51.605 --> 00:28:51.950
Amanda Davis: Yes.

162
00:28:51.950 --> 00:28:52.730
David Morgan-Jones: Structure.

163
00:28:53.350 --> 00:28:54.179
Andrew Maliphant: Absolutely. Yes.

164
00:28:54.180 --> 00:29:06.180
David Morgan-Jones: So so that you could, because you've got the lovely structure. Now. It's just a question of creating the the Wiki pages, and of course they're then all interlinked. So when you're looking at.

165
00:29:06.180 --> 00:29:06.750
Andrew Maliphant: Smith.

166
00:29:06.993 --> 00:29:18.916
David Morgan-Jones: So so of course, if you got volunteers is a whole bunch of health and safety stuff, you're gonna have to do. So we could link to health and safety page that just says, you know, this is the health and safety stuff you need to make sure you've

167
00:29:19.210 --> 00:29:24.699
David Morgan-Jones: tick boxes. Do you have the licensing? Do you have the appropriate insurance?

168
00:29:25.162 --> 00:29:26.610
David Morgan-Jones: Blah blah blah blah.

169
00:29:27.060 --> 00:29:34.710
tristram cary: David, is there a poly? Is there a worry? If you do that, as I understand it, that could be open for people to come and add to and put comments on. Yeah.

170
00:29:34.710 --> 00:29:37.010
David Morgan-Jones: No, you can do whatever you like.

171
00:29:37.010 --> 00:29:37.340
tristram cary: Okay.

172
00:29:37.340 --> 00:29:41.159
David Morgan-Jones: Either. Have it completely. Read, only

173
00:29:42.010 --> 00:29:56.633
David Morgan-Jones: you can so you can assign permissions to different people. So if you've got somebody who is the ninja on allotments. You can assign a person with permissions to update and do that

174
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:16.059
David Morgan-Jones: if you want to, you can add comments so you can if people've got something they can write in comments or email to the the owner of that page. Or you can do a Wikipedia full thing which is basically totally democratic where people can go in and edit the pages. But

175
00:30:16.150 --> 00:30:28.700
David Morgan-Jones: each page has somebody, a responsible adult who can go in there and rip out the rubbish that somebody might have put in there. If it's proved to be inaccurate or just salacious nonsense!

176
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:30.290
Amanda Davis: Fact, checker.

177
00:30:30.570 --> 00:30:34.279
Andrew Maliphant: Yes, we've got again. The

178
00:30:34.350 --> 00:30:37.309
Andrew Maliphant: the advice that we've already inherited from

179
00:30:37.380 --> 00:30:51.100
Andrew Maliphant: great collaborations in its original format. The advice that we're developing now links to other places. Those are all going to be part of a wiki we're looking at using a piece of software called Get book for that.

180
00:30:51.150 --> 00:30:57.729
Andrew Maliphant: And we're looking into that as we speak. So you're absolutely right in terms of access. Our general approach is that

181
00:30:57.950 --> 00:31:02.520
Andrew Maliphant: the old golden standard people only need to have 3 clicks of the mouse to find what they want.

182
00:31:02.550 --> 00:31:11.799
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah. So one click of a mouse is going to the wiki, the database, whatever you want to call it and say, I want set. You know, community orchards press the button. You know that that.

183
00:31:11.800 --> 00:31:31.719
tristram cary: Can I can. I just brought. I think that example of the allotments is is a really good one, Andrew, but it's it's slightly worrying to me that you created that page you took that on. Could we not also work, for instance, with the Allotment Society, who are very keen to promote. You know better allotments and more of them, and all that stuff.

184
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:32.040
Andrew Maliphant: Well.

185
00:31:32.040 --> 00:31:36.719
tristram cary: And could could they not? Could they not sort of help us and lead on that? And could we not?

186
00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:39.979
tristram cary: Could we not also apply for some funding

187
00:31:40.520 --> 00:31:55.050
tristram cary: from I don't know who on a much smaller scale, say, you know, we want 20,000 pounds to to to create this guide at with the with the Allotment Society, and maybe Defra, you know, who are also keen on it, and and say that we're not doing it all, you know in our spare time.

188
00:31:55.320 --> 00:31:56.220
Andrew Maliphant: Right?

189
00:31:56.360 --> 00:31:57.245
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

190
00:31:58.850 --> 00:32:04.420
tristram cary: And I think there's a lead. There's a sort of natural Government Department lead for pretty well all these things.

191
00:32:04.420 --> 00:32:12.180
Andrew Maliphant: Yes, indeed. I've have written to Government ministers on Monday. I haven't had any plans yet, but we will see what transpires. As you know, Tristan.

192
00:32:12.632 --> 00:32:13.436
Andrew Maliphant: I think

193
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:21.289
Andrew Maliphant: the in terms of funding. We've got a lottery bit about to go in shortly, which will also.

194
00:32:21.290 --> 00:32:21.640
Jacky Lawrence: You.

195
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:41.099
Andrew Maliphant: For that. The thing about lottery, Bundy is it is a lottery. We never know we're gonna get it or not. But it. It's quite a a large bid we're putting in once, that is, off off my desk and into the system that we start looking at other funds, and in terms of National Lotman society. You'll see. I've already suggested that I speak to them about coming and talking to us. So that's fine.

196
00:32:41.100 --> 00:32:41.589
tristram cary: Yeah. Good.

197
00:32:41.590 --> 00:32:42.410
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah. Jack.

198
00:32:42.410 --> 00:32:44.060
David Morgan-Jones: Amanda have got their hands up.

199
00:32:44.060 --> 00:32:45.020
Andrew Maliphant: Yes, Jackie.

200
00:32:45.368 --> 00:33:03.860
Jacky Lawrence: So I've got something to add to your allotment thing. So on on Monday our Parish Council are discussing whether to purchase the weed, suppressing membrane to create another 3 allotments in the land that they're already using. That's been like lots of left fallow for ages. So it was just just that.

201
00:33:04.280 --> 00:33:05.130
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

202
00:33:07.460 --> 00:33:12.180
Andrew Maliphant: Okay, yeah, thank you. Yes, lovely job. That's on the list. Amanda.

203
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:25.999
Amanda Davis: Yeah, I'm on our Parish Environment Committee, which is responsible for allotments. And we've been doing quite a lot to see if we can review our allotments, policies so that we can run them in a more

204
00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:32.779
Amanda Davis: friendly way, in a more enabling way for nature, for allotment, holders, etc. Rather than the

205
00:33:32.990 --> 00:33:39.419
Amanda Davis: you must do this. You shouldn't do that and so we've had these for the 1st time.

206
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:43.259
Amanda Davis: So we've got beekeeping policy on the allotments.

207
00:33:43.440 --> 00:34:11.100
Amanda Davis: and I don't say it's perfect, it's further or perfect. I was arguing, or there is amendments to it, but I think it's 1 of those things that little steps, you know. So we went with the lowest common denominator, in my opinion, which says things like, you know, if you've got an angry heart, you've got to take everything away. No, you can't have a maximum. You've got to have a what does it say? Something like you've got to have a maximum of 2 minds.

208
00:34:11.100 --> 00:34:36.760
Amanda Davis: but when you get an angry hive you've got to have a 3rd or a 4th to separate, or to allow the 2 queens that are falling out to move a bit. You know it's kind of it's not perfect, but it's a start. And we used to say, No, these no, that's all. People might get so long because we didn't know what we were talking about, because we're volunteers. We're not gatekeepers, and we found beekeepers in our style community. So I think it's

209
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:43.399
Amanda Davis: it's something about I think 2 things. One is beekeeping allotments, which is a subject in itself.

210
00:34:43.409 --> 00:34:43.739
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah.

211
00:34:43.739 --> 00:34:47.919
Amanda Davis: And the other one is how to use community experts

212
00:34:48.369 --> 00:34:52.229
Amanda Davis: to enable parish councils as amateurs.

213
00:34:55.580 --> 00:34:56.400
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

214
00:34:57.430 --> 00:34:58.750
Andrew Maliphant: involving

215
00:34:59.010 --> 00:35:00.090
Andrew Maliphant: Hello, cool

216
00:35:00.520 --> 00:35:01.750
Andrew Maliphant: community.

217
00:35:02.780 --> 00:35:04.650
Andrew Maliphant: I call it. Talk it. X topic.

218
00:35:04.650 --> 00:35:07.459
Amanda Davis: Yeah, yes, I'll get under it. So it's a bit of a.

219
00:35:07.640 --> 00:35:22.179
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah, I mean, that's particularly relevant to some of the things we've been saying about biodiversity net gain, because all of a sudden talent Parish councils have to respond to these things within planning applications. And it really helps. If you've got some local people that can can step in there.

220
00:35:24.130 --> 00:35:47.720
Amanda Davis: And he also plays to. Was it David Tristram or David who said about you know the allotment of society, for example, Uniform Association. It's kind of knowing who the experts are out there and working alongside them. But I think it's still got to be us running this show, because it's from a parish townhouse perspective, isn't it? We are the experts on that.

221
00:35:47.720 --> 00:35:57.169
tristram cary: But they do, but they do have a lot of expertise on allotments, and they lecture all around the country on how to do it, and they they would have somebody. I'm ashore who'd know about bees and be able to advise.

222
00:35:57.685 --> 00:36:05.409
Amanda Davis: Who are the experts as well. So my point is, there are experts out there.

223
00:36:05.450 --> 00:36:22.440
Amanda Davis: but you still got to have a lead, and I think we've got to retain the lead on this because our focus is parish and town councils. So it's like any matrix we're deciding which route to go down, but we've got to bump into lots of experts along the way.

224
00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:28.400
tristram cary: Amanda. I don't know if it's just me, but I find you very difficult to hear you. You've turned into a dalek.

225
00:36:29.700 --> 00:36:31.429
Jacky Lawrence: Lots of echo. Yes.

226
00:36:32.260 --> 00:36:35.540
Amanda Davis: Right? Okay, you're not the 1st person for that.

227
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:39.170
Andrew Maliphant: I'm glad I haven't said that. Yeah.

228
00:36:39.170 --> 00:36:43.180
Amanda Davis: I might have more than one zoom open, perhaps.

229
00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:44.150
Andrew Maliphant: And

230
00:36:44.300 --> 00:36:45.200
Andrew Maliphant: yes, it

231
00:36:45.600 --> 00:36:46.689
Andrew Maliphant: say I'm doing.

232
00:36:47.013 --> 00:36:47.660
Jacky Lawrence: Was neat.

233
00:36:47.660 --> 00:36:48.946
Andrew Maliphant: Exterminate, sorry.

234
00:36:49.590 --> 00:36:56.349
Jacky Lawrence: For for community experts. Our Parish Council got this working group working party. They're called.

235
00:36:56.620 --> 00:37:00.590
Jacky Lawrence: And so they put a call out to people in the community

236
00:37:01.069 --> 00:37:13.649
Jacky Lawrence: for people that wanted to get involved in the climate and environment working party. So we chaired by a parish councillor. There is the project clerk from the Parish Council. There is an X

237
00:37:14.010 --> 00:37:17.929
Jacky Lawrence: chair of the Parish Council, and every there are. The other 3 of us

238
00:37:18.060 --> 00:37:20.610
Jacky Lawrence: are just members of the public.

239
00:37:20.630 --> 00:37:28.009
Jacky Lawrence: And so everybody that applied to join this needed to show that they'd got some sort of expertise in a particular area.

240
00:37:28.020 --> 00:37:29.100
Andrew Maliphant: Okay? Bye.

241
00:37:29.100 --> 00:37:51.420
Jacky Lawrence: So one person sort of like works in transport, but's got particular interest in community orchards and cycling and active travel. I've got a particular interest in energy. And the other person is an an architect. So is interested in buildings and thermal imaging and that sort of thing.

242
00:37:51.450 --> 00:38:00.540
Jacky Lawrence: So we've got a working party that helps and supports the Parish Council in doing climate and environment, things.

243
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.780
Andrew Maliphant: Right. Thank you, David.

244
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:08.549
David Morgan-Jones: It's 1 between about between.

245
00:38:08.570 --> 00:38:09.550
Amanda Davis: Like cope.

246
00:38:09.890 --> 00:38:12.090
David Morgan-Jones: I've have. I got an echo as well.

247
00:38:12.090 --> 00:38:13.319
Andrew Maliphant: Nearly did. Yeah.

248
00:38:14.540 --> 00:38:15.770
David Morgan-Jones: I wonder what's going on?

249
00:38:17.240 --> 00:38:17.979
David Morgan-Jones: A.

250
00:38:18.300 --> 00:38:26.049
David Morgan-Jones: I've got a question for both Tristram and also you, Andrew. It's more a question of how do we use technology

251
00:38:27.940 --> 00:38:31.780
David Morgan-Jones: to do web based technology to create links

252
00:38:31.950 --> 00:38:35.880
David Morgan-Jones: between all these various initiatives.

253
00:38:36.170 --> 00:38:39.960
David Morgan-Jones: to provide a much more coherent overview.

254
00:38:40.120 --> 00:38:47.630
David Morgan-Jones: What? What is available. I mean, what really struck me was the presentation on

255
00:38:48.685 --> 00:38:53.210
David Morgan-Jones: community buying and generation of electricity, for example.

256
00:38:53.470 --> 00:38:54.220
Andrew Maliphant: Yep. Yeah.

257
00:38:54.516 --> 00:39:03.413
David Morgan-Jones: Then the the one that unfortunately I missed, which was to do with I think, was last week's which I really wanted to to to listen, but couldn't make

258
00:39:04.890 --> 00:39:08.118
David Morgan-Jones: So sort of combining all these ideas.

259
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:16.810
David Morgan-Jones: would it be okay if I just shared a couple of slides with you, cause I think it might be slightly easy if you perhaps saw where I was trying to come from.

260
00:39:16.810 --> 00:39:23.140
Andrew Maliphant: Sure. No making links to other users is very much part of our plan as well. We're not trying to rewrite everything. No.

261
00:39:23.140 --> 00:39:25.079
tristram cary: But everybody's turned into a dollar.

262
00:39:26.310 --> 00:39:27.750
Andrew Maliphant: I I think we'll put.

263
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:33.420
Jacky Lawrence: I think, when everybody's not on mute, we hear everybody else's words.

264
00:39:35.650 --> 00:39:38.149
David Morgan-Jones: Can you? Can you see that

265
00:39:38.290 --> 00:39:39.450
David Morgan-Jones: that screen?

266
00:39:39.720 --> 00:39:40.320
David Morgan-Jones: Yep.

267
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:41.320
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah, because that.

268
00:39:41.550 --> 00:39:57.530
David Morgan-Jones: Okay. Sorry. This is actually doing a bit of a helicopter view. So and there's a few slides I need to just bring in to sort of provide a logic to, to the, to the thoughts we're having, and why? I think that what we're doing is so vitally important.

269
00:39:59.140 --> 00:40:15.071
David Morgan-Jones: so for heart. What we've we've agreed is that we need to identify what our target figure is, so that we we've got a hands around something as opposed to a nebulous we've got to reduce to 0. We need to start from somewhere.

270
00:40:16.370 --> 00:40:18.663
David Morgan-Jones: Now. Hampshire

271
00:40:20.330 --> 00:40:25.140
David Morgan-Jones: have identified the key major areas where

272
00:40:25.600 --> 00:40:40.830
David Morgan-Jones: we have carbon emissions. So you can see from the slide there. Transport is is the biggest by far. And, in fact, when we drill into hot. It actually goes up to about 50% of the Co. 2 in the district is from transport.

273
00:40:41.990 --> 00:40:49.052
David Morgan-Jones: The next big area is domestic generation, and then you can see on the slide where the rest of it comes from.

274
00:40:49.830 --> 00:40:50.580
David Morgan-Jones: So

275
00:40:52.700 --> 00:40:58.290
David Morgan-Jones: The best way to eat an elephant is in small bite sized chunks is the classic sort of thing.

276
00:40:58.877 --> 00:41:00.159
David Morgan-Jones: or or say

277
00:41:00.649 --> 00:41:08.170
David Morgan-Jones: unless, of course, you're a vegan like one of the offices in the Hampshire doesn't like be using that phrase. But there we go. Yes.

278
00:41:08.170 --> 00:41:10.370
Andrew Maliphant: Why we moved to navigating the jungle. David.

279
00:41:10.370 --> 00:41:16.730
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah. Yeah. So sorry, Amanda, were you just wanted to question something on on that slide?

280
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:30.910
Amanda Davis: Yeah, I did the unmute. Yeah. 1st of all, can I check? Are you talking about it from the District Council perspective?

281
00:41:30.910 --> 00:41:31.620
David Morgan-Jones: Yes.

282
00:41:31.970 --> 00:41:38.237
Amanda Davis: Okay? So that's 1 difference. Whereas with Paris and Town Council perspectives.

283
00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:40.850
David Morgan-Jones: I'll come. I'll come to that in a second.

284
00:41:40.850 --> 00:41:51.500
Amanda Davis: I wasn't challenging you. I just wanted to understand what you were showing us. And then can you tell me whether you're within a possible national landscape or not.

285
00:41:51.680 --> 00:41:52.889
David Morgan-Jones: Haven't got a clue.

286
00:41:52.890 --> 00:41:57.970
Amanda Davis: Okay? So then, the next question is, food and drink.

287
00:41:58.710 --> 00:42:01.189
Amanda Davis: Did you have Google drink in this.

288
00:42:01.190 --> 00:42:13.479
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah, the the when you look in that, when you unpacked household, it's split into a whole bunch of different components which food and drink. There's a whole bunch of stuff that makes this up.

289
00:42:13.773 --> 00:42:18.469
Amanda Davis: Okay, thank you. I understand. It's a lot better now. That's really helpful. Thank you.

290
00:42:19.038 --> 00:42:33.000
David Morgan-Jones: This is still quite crude, and we need to do a lot more work to to zone in on where the big contributors are particularly for the district, and then we need to do it if we can.

291
00:42:33.180 --> 00:42:41.410
David Morgan-Jones: down at each parish. So each parish has its own sort of understanding where where it's its CO. 2 is coming from

292
00:42:42.310 --> 00:42:42.990
David Morgan-Jones: now.

293
00:42:43.710 --> 00:42:47.730
David Morgan-Jones: in the military there is a technique called campaign planning.

294
00:42:48.140 --> 00:42:57.670
David Morgan-Jones: It's a bit like a very. It tries to simplify project planning and make it in in so slightly more understandable

295
00:42:57.680 --> 00:43:07.009
David Morgan-Jones: way of actually taking some really complex, challenging ideas and putting them to in a way that people can understand it. So

296
00:43:08.300 --> 00:43:11.080
David Morgan-Jones: can you see that chart?

297
00:43:11.890 --> 00:43:12.680
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah.

298
00:43:12.870 --> 00:43:22.129
David Morgan-Jones: So what we've got here is is a vague timeline, and we've kept it very vague because we need to do a lot more work to understand what we're trying to do.

299
00:43:22.150 --> 00:43:33.679
David Morgan-Jones: So we're at the moment here with 4, 436 kilotons. CO. 2. We want to try and get down to 0 whatever 0 means. And then we've got 2.

300
00:43:34.490 --> 00:43:41.830
David Morgan-Jones: Do that in a way in which the Council can cope with it, and the Parish councils can cope with it, because we can't do everything at once.

301
00:43:43.430 --> 00:43:45.550
David Morgan-Jones: and there is a

302
00:43:46.720 --> 00:43:56.620
David Morgan-Jones: a a planning process which basically means that you try and understand the problem first.st And I think what the great collaboration does is really, really helps with that.

303
00:43:56.810 --> 00:43:59.120
David Morgan-Jones: So you need to really understand the problem.

304
00:43:59.520 --> 00:44:03.770
David Morgan-Jones: then you need to define what you're going to do to solve that problem.

305
00:44:04.020 --> 00:44:05.900
David Morgan-Jones: And then you need to execute

306
00:44:06.300 --> 00:44:09.800
David Morgan-Jones: whether it's a strategic plan or a plan in order to get stuff done.

307
00:44:10.630 --> 00:44:14.850
David Morgan-Jones: So the symbols here are basically we've got to understand.

308
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:16.870
David Morgan-Jones: We've then got a plan.

309
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:24.030
David Morgan-Jones: and then we've got to execute. And then we've got a monitor, so that whatever we're doing actually shows that we're doing something useful

310
00:44:24.910 --> 00:44:29.940
David Morgan-Jones: now, where the great collaboration really really is helpful is

311
00:44:31.070 --> 00:44:33.453
David Morgan-Jones: is in the understand bit

312
00:44:34.120 --> 00:44:34.830
David Morgan-Jones: good.

313
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:35.760
David Morgan-Jones: And

314
00:44:36.140 --> 00:44:37.045
David Morgan-Jones: what

315
00:44:38.010 --> 00:44:41.830
David Morgan-Jones: what we're missing is the all the interlinks.

316
00:44:42.220 --> 00:44:43.859
David Morgan-Jones: So, for example.

317
00:44:44.680 --> 00:44:45.820
David Morgan-Jones: when we

318
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:51.709
David Morgan-Jones: we were looking, so we just, I'll just cover off quickly the sort of the the thing. So we've got public sector.

319
00:44:52.020 --> 00:44:57.159
David Morgan-Jones: and the reason we put that the top is because hearts are already doing a huge amount to try and resolve that now

320
00:44:57.980 --> 00:45:10.419
David Morgan-Jones: we then thought the easiest want to tackle and to get our teeth into it is the domestic, because there's lots of stuff we can do, particularly at Parish council level to start to do that.

321
00:45:10.780 --> 00:45:18.350
David Morgan-Jones: Then there is transport of which we have a proportion which we can control at district, and there's a lot that has to be done nationally.

322
00:45:18.810 --> 00:45:22.529
David Morgan-Jones: Then there's the industrial and commercial and agriculture, and as

323
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:30.939
David Morgan-Jones: district, and then pass councils, there are bits we have responsibility for, and there are bits we don't. So, for example, all the schools.

324
00:45:31.538 --> 00:45:39.789
David Morgan-Jones: and some of the public buildings like that is is a County Council issue, not a parish, or a town or

325
00:45:39.810 --> 00:45:40.940
David Morgan-Jones: district

326
00:45:42.595 --> 00:45:47.290
David Morgan-Jones: and then there are starting to be as we begin to think this through

327
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:51.839
David Morgan-Jones: one of the things that we you identify is that

328
00:45:52.290 --> 00:46:04.969
David Morgan-Jones: if you want to start doing some of this stuff, one of the things you're gonna have to access is electricity. So if we want to reduce our CO, 2 footprint by removing boilers. So we need to put in more

329
00:46:07.620 --> 00:46:19.240
David Morgan-Jones: sals, heat pumps, sals, heat pumps need electricity to function. So how do we generate more electricity without actually you know, really hammering the grid

330
00:46:19.701 --> 00:46:29.890
David Morgan-Jones: and that's that wonderful presentation that was given a couple of weeks ago. Where we got that company that came in to do the generation local generation electricity?

331
00:46:31.375 --> 00:46:32.120
David Morgan-Jones: So.

332
00:46:32.190 --> 00:46:39.440
David Morgan-Jones: And then you've got the whole biodiversity component, which is about greening increasing sequestration of CO. 2,

333
00:46:39.510 --> 00:46:43.470
David Morgan-Jones: which becomes part of a wider net 0 plan.

334
00:46:43.980 --> 00:46:48.850
David Morgan-Jones: But there are lots of wider interconnections, both legitimately

335
00:46:48.870 --> 00:46:50.722
David Morgan-Jones: and from local

336
00:46:52.227 --> 00:47:15.189
David Morgan-Jones: sort of activities. And I've only put a couple down there. There are loads, and we need to do some more work to work at this biodiversity, policy and and and legislation, this tree strategy that that Hampshire done. There's a whole bunch of other stuff that we need to stitch into this, because what we mustn't try and do is try and do things in isolation. They will need to be seen as part of an interconnected jigsaw puzzle

337
00:47:15.210 --> 00:47:17.340
David Morgan-Jones: that we're all trying to pull together.

338
00:47:18.073 --> 00:47:20.550
David Morgan-Jones: And then, of course, there are resources.

339
00:47:20.710 --> 00:47:26.900
David Morgan-Jones: And this is where your bit on banking, for example, and funding potential funding became so hugely helpful.

340
00:47:28.939 --> 00:47:29.659
David Morgan-Jones: because

341
00:47:30.600 --> 00:47:35.017
David Morgan-Jones: one of the bits we were going to do didn't quite have time to do. We were going to

342
00:47:35.830 --> 00:47:38.030
David Morgan-Jones: war game through.

343
00:47:38.765 --> 00:47:47.590
David Morgan-Jones: The issue which I'll go on to the next one, which is a much more detailed one about moving into the domestic CO, 2 component. And so, looking at the sap.

344
00:47:50.950 --> 00:47:57.559
David Morgan-Jones: schools! And how we can improve our understanding of what our sap scores are across each parish.

345
00:47:58.922 --> 00:48:06.100
David Morgan-Jones: And Tristan's team on the parish online. I mean, they're they're the ability to see

346
00:48:06.300 --> 00:48:17.305
David Morgan-Jones: the sap score of each house and rather depressingly we looked at our parish and found that we didn't have a lot of sap schools because people be living those houses for so long.

347
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:23.740
David Morgan-Jones: so the next question is, is, how the hell do we get everybody to get an updated sap score of their house?

348
00:48:24.010 --> 00:48:29.799
David Morgan-Jones: And so you then find, think? Well, if I'm not gonna sell my property, why should I pay for a sap school?

349
00:48:31.066 --> 00:48:41.890
David Morgan-Jones: You might think well, I might do a sap school because I'm really keen. And I'm really want to contribute to this program. But a lot of people are gonna go around and go. No, it's cost too much, not gonna do it.

350
00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:46.920
David Morgan-Jones: So then how do you actually pull in funding to do the sap schools?

351
00:48:46.950 --> 00:48:51.440
David Morgan-Jones: And then, okay, you've identified. There are problems. There are things that they could do.

352
00:48:51.750 --> 00:48:56.220
David Morgan-Jones: How do you encourage them to then do them? Particularly if it's going to cost them money?

353
00:48:56.680 --> 00:49:07.640
David Morgan-Jones: So there's a whole bunch of stuff there, and having that sort of funding model. And and and put looking at how how we fund this becomes really, really, really important.

354
00:49:09.720 --> 00:49:11.810
David Morgan-Jones: so I think

355
00:49:12.500 --> 00:49:15.500
David Morgan-Jones: what I'm after. And I'm sorry. It's a slightly long

356
00:49:16.001 --> 00:49:20.329
David Morgan-Jones: explanation is as we go through each of the

357
00:49:21.870 --> 00:49:24.919
David Morgan-Jones: understand phases, what we need to do is

358
00:49:25.050 --> 00:49:27.989
David Morgan-Jones: get hold of that information that you've got.

359
00:49:28.865 --> 00:49:29.260
David Morgan-Jones: and

360
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:50.240
David Morgan-Jones: begin to start to tie it in to various components. So when we're looking at at sort of like local power electricity, I mean the ability to then link directly into that initiative coming off. I can't remember whether it was Essex or Kent, or wherever it was to be able to tie into that, and then grab hold of that

361
00:49:50.703 --> 00:50:03.046
David Morgan-Jones: and to to to then be able to pull that in and work out how we're going to exploit that to then drive some of the the energy generation components at A at a

362
00:50:03.420 --> 00:50:22.400
David Morgan-Jones: parish district county level doesn't really matter. So there's a whole bunch of stuff that's about, how do we tile this information in so that we can then start pushing down these particular routes in order to improve, to, to, to to achieve that target. Sorry, Tristan. I'll shut up now.

363
00:50:23.702 --> 00:50:30.890
Andrew Maliphant: No, th. That's a pretty expose of the of the things that we we need to produce and and bring together. Trish!

364
00:50:30.890 --> 00:50:33.193
tristram cary: Yeah, sure it is. I just wanted to say,

365
00:50:33.540 --> 00:50:40.929
tristram cary: David, that you've you said that the great collaboration has been enormously helpful in understanding the problem, your 1st blue bubble.

366
00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:45.640
tristram cary: but it I think it should also be extremely important for the next one of creating a plan.

367
00:50:45.994 --> 00:50:51.290
David Morgan-Jones: Well, if we could, if we could. Yeah, I completely agree with you, Tristan. If we can generate

368
00:50:51.390 --> 00:50:59.769
David Morgan-Jones: a set of plans which then could be taken off, the shelf, dusted and tweaked to meet individual towns and parishes.

369
00:51:00.060 --> 00:51:02.260
David Morgan-Jones: Then, if that saves

370
00:51:02.390 --> 00:51:07.050
David Morgan-Jones: 80% of the intellectual activity that needs to be undertaken.

371
00:51:07.110 --> 00:51:15.900
David Morgan-Jones: then brilliant, or if we convert them into task lists, or or a set of sort of tasks that can be be undertaken

372
00:51:16.590 --> 00:51:20.439
David Morgan-Jones: as as we evolve, that'd be superb. And if we could use

373
00:51:20.520 --> 00:51:23.440
David Morgan-Jones: the great collaboration as a way of

374
00:51:24.670 --> 00:51:26.389
David Morgan-Jones: documenting it.

375
00:51:27.366 --> 00:51:29.600
David Morgan-Jones: putting it into the website

376
00:51:29.730 --> 00:51:40.250
David Morgan-Jones: updating, as we understand how to do things better, and we learn how to nuance it, because you know a town, and might be very different to a rural parish.

377
00:51:40.874 --> 00:51:44.769
David Morgan-Jones: Or we add the flavors depending on which which one you are.

378
00:51:44.900 --> 00:51:47.770
David Morgan-Jones: So yeah, no, Tristan, absolutely.

379
00:51:47.770 --> 00:52:02.877
tristram cary: And I. I just wanted to develop that theme a bit. Because I another thing that strikes me about the Wednesday sessions we've had is that there? There they are of 2 very different sorts. There is. There are some things like community energy generation which David was talking about.

380
00:52:03.320 --> 00:52:15.910
tristram cary: Alex Templeton Csco. Company, you know. That's a sort of very, very major thing that will make a massive contribution if we can start to get community energy projects that are funded by a 3rd party.

381
00:52:16.250 --> 00:52:26.809
tristram cary: and everybody in the parish can join in. Which is what Alex is Amy at, you know that's that's a huge bit. And then there are other presentations we've had which are

382
00:52:26.900 --> 00:52:44.199
tristram cary: very much, very much. They're very different. They're more personal. 20 is plenty is a sort of good example. It's it's a great thing, but it's not. It's that's not itself a sort of top level initiative that that every council is going to have to tackle. And what I would like to suggest is that we we, if we identify the

383
00:52:44.340 --> 00:52:50.289
tristram cary: key things that we need to concentrate, on, which, which is, are things like home insulation.

384
00:52:50.900 --> 00:53:17.930
tristram cary: community energy. So you've insulated the houses. You then got to produce clean energy, and then woodland planning and house construction. And by the way home construction is another thing. We're going to have to add, David, I think, to these lists, because I think every council is going to have increased housing, and we've got to make that housing as green as we can and have standard building standards that make sure that what we're doing is not going to contribute further to the problem.

385
00:53:18.620 --> 00:53:34.770
tristram cary: And what I'd like to suggest is that if we could identify these top level strands and they're probably 10 of them at the very top level. We we should then engage the the public sector body responsible for that. So for for you know, for clean it for well, for domestic

386
00:53:34.770 --> 00:53:51.830
tristram cary: insulation is, I don't know who it is, actually, but for green energy, you know, this is the Department of Energy, and I think we should we should use the power we've got with the great collaboration and our links to so many parishes and districts to put together a sort of plan to say, we want to develop

387
00:53:51.940 --> 00:53:56.289
tristram cary: a methodology for this this process.

388
00:53:56.580 --> 00:54:09.040
tristram cary: and we want your support and probably your financial support, because all the government departments have budgets to help with these things, and I think we should be if we're very directed. And we say we've got we've got the great collaboration we've got the

389
00:54:09.341 --> 00:54:31.990
tristram cary: we can. We can produce, you know, parish volunteers or groups of volunteers to trial stuff. We've got a requirement which is underwritten by nalk, and the the society of local council clerks. So we're sort of taking a very central position in something which at the moment is very amorphous. And there's a just a massive waste of energy going on, a waste of money going on with everybody, trying to reinvent the wheel.

390
00:54:31.990 --> 00:54:32.930
David Morgan-Jones: Oh, absolutely!

391
00:54:32.930 --> 00:54:48.660
tristram cary: I think we should. We should really take this great collaboration to do that, and to have a much more structured way. To say, this is the problem we're trying to solve. We want your support Defra, or whoever it is, department of Energy. And here's what we want to do and give us money.

392
00:54:48.660 --> 00:54:49.510
David Morgan-Jones: I think the other thing.

393
00:54:49.510 --> 00:54:51.920
tristram cary: Domestic develop. The methodology, too.

394
00:54:52.070 --> 00:54:54.190
David Morgan-Jones: I think the other thing Tristram is

395
00:54:55.300 --> 00:54:59.639
David Morgan-Jones: is is creating. I don't know whether it's possible to do this, Andrew, but

396
00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:06.040
David Morgan-Jones: subject matter, app subject matter, expert groups.

397
00:55:06.710 --> 00:55:07.080
Andrew Maliphant: Yep.

398
00:55:07.080 --> 00:55:13.049
David Morgan-Jones: So, for example, if we wanted to, as a parish, look at.

399
00:55:13.130 --> 00:55:15.589
David Morgan-Jones: Sorry, not as a parish as a district.

400
00:55:16.133 --> 00:55:20.066
David Morgan-Jones: Maybe even a county level. Look at how to enhance

401
00:55:20.510 --> 00:55:22.330
David Morgan-Jones: energy generation.

402
00:55:23.110 --> 00:55:27.140
David Morgan-Jones: What we need is is a group of people who can come together

403
00:55:27.250 --> 00:55:28.679
David Morgan-Jones: to talk about

404
00:55:29.040 --> 00:55:39.949
David Morgan-Jones: the different forms of generation, so that might be solar. It might be wind. If you've got that, it might be hydro, it might be microheat and power using waste

405
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:46.289
David Morgan-Jones: burning waste. It might be micro nuclear or mini nuclear doesn't really matter.

406
00:55:46.625 --> 00:56:09.059
David Morgan-Jones: And then how do you store that energy? So community storage systems? So that when we're like today or particularly yesterday, we were generating huge amounts of solar energy, but most of it would have been wasted into that. Well would not waste it, but have dissipated into the grid and so it's that sort of thing that when we starting to think about that, and then align.

407
00:56:10.435 --> 00:56:11.190
David Morgan-Jones: Budgets!

408
00:56:11.962 --> 00:56:19.150
David Morgan-Jones: Because we're talking 5, 10 year planning cycles here for this type of activity. We have the Smes that will help

409
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:22.120
David Morgan-Jones: shape the thinking and the planning.

410
00:56:22.330 --> 00:56:23.690
David Morgan-Jones: so that

411
00:56:24.020 --> 00:56:36.949
David Morgan-Jones: we are getting the best of the best. And again, as as Tristan alluded to earlier, we're not constantly reinventing wheels in our own little biospheres. Which is what we have a tendency to do.

412
00:56:37.630 --> 00:56:39.934
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah. Anyway, I'll close my my thing down.

413
00:56:40.510 --> 00:56:40.870
Andrew Maliphant: Thank you.

414
00:56:40.870 --> 00:56:41.759
David Morgan-Jones: Very much over there.

415
00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:46.710
Andrew Maliphant: If you could send over that presentation. If you're able to do that, David, that would be brilliant to capture some of those slides that would be fantastic.

416
00:56:46.710 --> 00:56:48.959
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. No. Problem.

417
00:56:48.960 --> 00:57:02.829
Andrew Maliphant: Yes, and you're you're talking yourself into some regular regular working with this, I'm afraid. So there you go. We will. Yeah, we will be in touch. Amanda. I I'm so pleased we're having this session because we've had so many great ideas, so much feedback already. Amanda.

418
00:57:05.123 --> 00:57:12.956
Amanda Davis: Yeah, thank you. David, are you? Are you authoring so that way you can take construct to the criticism.

419
00:57:13.330 --> 00:57:14.200
David Morgan-Jones: Course. Yeah. No.

420
00:57:14.200 --> 00:57:17.800
Amanda Davis: Called me to account for it. In a sense.

421
00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:18.530
David Morgan-Jones: No! No! This.

422
00:57:18.530 --> 00:57:19.520
Amanda Davis: Just, this is.

423
00:57:19.520 --> 00:57:20.569
David Morgan-Jones: This is very.

424
00:57:20.570 --> 00:57:33.909
Amanda Davis: So the subject, not of you and your work. But I really do want to say that. I couldn't help but feel that with the different hats I wear. I come to this with the parishioner Council hat

425
00:57:34.210 --> 00:57:54.480
Amanda Davis: as a councillor and as a clock. I I often get invited to the District Council or bigger strategic issues. I'm a politically economist and sort of national infrastructure project, professional, but I often feel gossip as a parishion town Council

426
00:57:54.510 --> 00:58:00.669
Amanda Davis: person with that hassle, but others are telling me what to do, how to do it or taking over.

427
00:58:00.770 --> 00:58:11.150
Amanda Davis: and I very much feel that what great collaborations done for me is to empower me, and a passion to have council level, to say to the others, actually.

428
00:58:11.470 --> 00:58:25.960
Amanda Davis: for once I feel in control, I feel empowered. I feel invited, and we're in drancy. Thank you very much, and we've done a whole lot of work to do. I think what your

429
00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:35.142
Amanda Davis: your slide shows us is a nice, neat summary of exactly what you said about. Let's not

430
00:58:36.700 --> 00:58:49.300
Amanda Davis: Let's not duplicate the the intellectual efforts, and maybe even go as far as we invest in a lot of cool things. That's really an efficient way of using public resources.

431
00:58:49.678 --> 00:59:13.309
Amanda Davis: And I fully agree that it's always nice to understand a strategic tent, if you like, or jungle order that we're operating in our parish and town council level. But I guess I just wanted to bring the conversation back a little to the you know. What have we got a lot of? We've got playgrounds. We've got cemeteries. We've got allotments. We've sometimes got buildings.

432
00:59:13.490 --> 00:59:15.639
Amanda Davis: We've certainly got people

433
00:59:15.850 --> 00:59:31.440
Amanda Davis: who've got their own houses and etc. And I'm just kind of bringing it down from that overarching strategic level that I normally deal with in my professional world to the parish in Town Council, very local level, that a lot of people run away when they're here.

434
00:59:31.470 --> 00:59:53.320
Amanda Davis: those big strategic issues, because it's just too big. And we can't make a difference. And I think what great collaboration does is show us the little things so that we can make a big, big difference with. Because I think you make the point about how you beat the elephant. Yeah. And we quickly turn into the jungle. So my point about the elephant to use that analogy is that

435
00:59:53.410 --> 00:59:57.270
Amanda Davis: I think some people in our parish attacks at the sphere

436
00:59:57.300 --> 01:00:04.739
Amanda Davis: do. I have experience at affinity bulletin. We disbanded our environment working group because

437
01:00:04.860 --> 01:00:06.140
Amanda Davis: basically

438
01:00:06.300 --> 01:00:19.799
Amanda Davis: we wanted to do a lot of things. But there was nobody to do it, and we ran out of 2 min, and we just never got around to the next meeting, so it was easy to just expand it because we weren't quite ready. And I think that's taking on too much.

439
01:00:19.810 --> 01:00:33.089
Amanda Davis: And what we really need to do is focus in on the one or 2 little steps and then start to build a movement at grass roots level among those that don't even know where to start, and.

440
01:00:33.360 --> 01:00:34.980
David Morgan-Jones: Amanda, can I just come back?

441
01:00:35.250 --> 01:00:37.634
Amanda Davis: Oh, she'll be glad.

442
01:00:38.230 --> 01:00:49.075
David Morgan-Jones: No, no, no, no, just give a bit of background. Tristan and I have been joining. We're both parish counselors. So we? We look at

443
01:00:49.820 --> 01:00:53.020
David Morgan-Jones: We both went to Hart District Council

444
01:00:53.540 --> 01:00:54.530
David Morgan-Jones: 2

445
01:00:54.780 --> 01:00:59.369
David Morgan-Jones: story engage in this program, and they, too, are fully aware

446
01:00:59.620 --> 01:01:02.180
David Morgan-Jones: that they want to try and

447
01:01:02.210 --> 01:01:03.760
David Morgan-Jones: engage

448
01:01:03.820 --> 01:01:05.989
David Morgan-Jones: the parishes as equal partners.

449
01:01:06.370 --> 01:01:11.719
David Morgan-Jones: So, but to be honest with you, it would just became it was a model

450
01:01:12.060 --> 01:01:20.070
David Morgan-Jones: they hadn't. There was no structural function and a lot. And what's happened now is that actually, it'll probably be just Tristan I turning up

451
01:01:20.449 --> 01:01:26.320
David Morgan-Jones: because everybody's got utterly bored and they don't, and rather like you said they don't know where to start.

452
01:01:26.450 --> 01:01:30.559
David Morgan-Jones: So what we're trying to do is

453
01:01:30.680 --> 01:01:32.460
David Morgan-Jones: come up with a structure.

454
01:01:32.600 --> 01:01:36.920
David Morgan-Jones: and then the next workshop will be with the parish councillors

455
01:01:37.140 --> 01:01:47.239
David Morgan-Jones: to work out what it is we can do and what we want to do, what we well, what we can do. And how do we engage in this at a at a parish level?

456
01:01:47.450 --> 01:01:51.919
David Morgan-Jones: So there's a lot of work to be done to unpack this down to the next level.

457
01:01:52.542 --> 01:02:01.559
David Morgan-Jones: And it's very much a collaborative process, because there is just no way that the District Council can. Actually, you know, we've got

458
01:02:01.640 --> 01:02:08.320
David Morgan-Jones: one and a half people working on a program that an industry would take probably several 100

459
01:02:09.004 --> 01:02:14.109
David Morgan-Jones: to deliver a project of this complexity. Size? And so

460
01:02:14.160 --> 01:02:18.950
David Morgan-Jones: no, this is just the beginning of a journey which we need to shape and develop

461
01:02:19.110 --> 01:02:21.249
David Morgan-Jones: so absolutely. Get where you're coming from.

462
01:02:21.550 --> 01:02:38.139
tristram cary: Sorry. Can I also just jump in? I'm so sorry, Stuart and Jackie, but I think I think it's I was very frustrated as a parish council that we weren't getting support from the District Council, for instance. They've got an ecology officer, and they're building a trees plan, but they wouldn't. They wouldn't tell us, I said, why aren't we working together?

463
01:02:38.270 --> 01:02:50.619
tristram cary: And I think with the district is also becoming aware that if it wants to engage with communities. It needs to work through the parishes. So I think we're getting a much better understanding of how to stop that being obstructive and make it collaborative.

464
01:02:50.870 --> 01:03:03.010
Amanda Davis: I think I'm probably coming from a political geography where, because of the funding was restricted at districts and charity levels in terms of always reaching the cap and beyond

465
01:03:03.413 --> 01:03:19.120
Amanda Davis: with the council tax, and it was always parish. Now, councils, you're gonna do more. You're gonna do it this way. You're gonna fund it, you know. So I think that's the context of me expressing what I was expressing.

466
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:38.479
Amanda Davis: And may I also just get permission, please, to list a whole series of things going right back to ground level for now to list a series of suggestions for the topics or the next answer session. Can I just pop them into the chat in case I need to leave before the end.

467
01:03:38.480 --> 01:03:40.330
Andrew Maliphant: Put them in the chat, please, Amanda, thank you very much.

468
01:03:40.330 --> 01:03:53.339
Amanda Davis: As opposed to project manager, program, manager, and all that stuff they did. I thoroughly approval for the way that it's set out, and I love that, but that's not what you see.

469
01:03:53.340 --> 01:03:54.250
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

470
01:03:54.250 --> 01:03:57.339
Amanda Davis: I really appreciate what you've done there. Thank you very much.

471
01:03:57.510 --> 01:04:15.380
Andrew Maliphant: In our, in our regional pilot. We are looking at ways of not just the horizontal, like all horizontal links with connect parishes and communities, but also vertical up through the districts and counties as well. And we have got a team working on that. And certainly, David will get back to hopefully to share more thoughts on that.

472
01:04:16.350 --> 01:04:22.239
Stuart Withington: Hi, thanks. Really sorry I missed the talk bit of a medical emergency with mother-in-law.

473
01:04:22.240 --> 01:04:24.042
Andrew Maliphant: It. It wasn't. It wasn't a talk.

474
01:04:24.300 --> 01:04:24.790
Stuart Withington: This.

475
01:04:25.385 --> 01:04:26.575
Andrew Maliphant: Miss nothing.

476
01:04:27.523 --> 01:04:34.590
Stuart Withington: What? What whatever? I I think part of the problem that I'm experiencing is that there is no

477
01:04:34.780 --> 01:04:38.280
Stuart Withington: upfront funding for the Green Project.

478
01:04:38.380 --> 01:04:42.669
Stuart Withington: and I I realize that a lot of them don't require any funding

479
01:04:43.846 --> 01:04:46.830
Stuart Withington: but retrofitting houses.

480
01:04:46.950 --> 01:04:50.809
Stuart Withington: fitting solar panels, doing all the sort of bigger stuff

481
01:04:50.950 --> 01:04:55.940
Stuart Withington: which is actually going to make a difference to Co. 2.

482
01:04:55.950 --> 01:05:04.533
Stuart Withington: There's no funding for therefore the council, my council think well, we? We can't get involved.

483
01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:09.729
Stuart Withington: But just looking at the most recent figures I've got.

484
01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:13.279
Stuart Withington: Hampshire County Council has got a hundred and

485
01:05:13.520 --> 01:05:17.150
Stuart Withington: 36 million pounds invested in fossil fuels.

486
01:05:18.310 --> 01:05:24.087
Stuart Withington: surely. And I think that the new government has been hinting about this with

487
01:05:24.590 --> 01:05:26.860
Stuart Withington: local authority pension funds

488
01:05:27.291 --> 01:05:31.490
Stuart Withington: that these funds ought to be used in a different way

489
01:05:31.680 --> 01:05:35.259
Stuart Withington: that benefits the environment rather than trushing the environment.

490
01:05:35.360 --> 01:05:36.430
Stuart Withington: So

491
01:05:36.510 --> 01:05:39.070
Stuart Withington: could we be working towards

492
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:45.010
Stuart Withington: maybe getting some of the millions which, sitting in our pension funds.

493
01:05:45.040 --> 01:05:50.890
Stuart Withington: invested in the sort of green technologies locally.

494
01:05:51.470 --> 01:05:53.320
Stuart Withington: and I think most.

495
01:05:54.211 --> 01:06:03.590
Stuart Withington: Local authority pensions are governed by a local board which includes councillors from the County Council.

496
01:06:03.930 --> 01:06:09.560
Stuart Withington: and it's them that have delegated the authority to the pools, the

497
01:06:10.410 --> 01:06:21.269
Stuart Withington: many suits in the city, and this, that and the other. And I, I think we need to so try and wrestle back control of at least part of this to fund our ambitions.

498
01:06:21.490 --> 01:06:37.609
Andrew Maliphant: Right, I think what we've said all along is. And this is another great example of it. Stuart, is that as we're developing some of this practical stuff on the ground issues for campaigning will arise. This is one of them, isn't it? And so then it becomes a question of how that is pursued. So yeah.

499
01:06:37.610 --> 01:06:44.339
Stuart Withington: Yeah, and and green investments should ultimately make a a decent return.

500
01:06:44.820 --> 01:06:52.600
Andrew Maliphant: I'm speaking to people at Middlesex University on this issues of green finance. They've been working on it as well, and Alex Templeton, who came to talk

501
01:06:52.956 --> 01:07:05.029
Andrew Maliphant: on the the accounts, has has also got some some eyes in the fire there. So yeah, this, this whole issue of funding and better quality funding. Very much. So, yeah, thank you. Jacky.

502
01:07:05.610 --> 01:07:07.380
Andrew Maliphant: this is great. By the way.

503
01:07:07.380 --> 01:07:10.890
Jacky Lawrence: Following on from some of the things that David said made me think.

504
01:07:10.960 --> 01:07:20.809
Jacky Lawrence: Now you've met Bob Sherman. So it would just make me think if you're having like specialist talks, I don't think Bob could condense this into 15 min.

505
01:07:20.900 --> 01:07:25.080
Jacky Lawrence: But they started off with harbor energy initiative as a community group

506
01:07:25.270 --> 01:07:51.710
Jacky Lawrence: moved into an electric vehicle. Car Share Club moved into harbour e wheels and then had then. Now the the project they're working on at the moment is harbor future energy, and it will be a 7 kilowatt, vertical access, wind, turbine, 13 kilowatt, solar pv. Panel, a hundred 60 kilowatt battery, 22 charge points for people in the village that don't have off street parking for themselves.

507
01:07:51.710 --> 01:08:11.149
Jacky Lawrence: to raise money for harbour e wheels, which is electric vehicles taking people who can't drive anymore to medical appointments, etc. So it's transport. It's energy. It's community engagement. They started off as a community group, and they had to work to get the Parish Council to support them.

508
01:08:11.170 --> 01:08:37.919
Jacky Lawrence: and once they've got that support eventually they went for a royal rf, rural community energy funding stage one they got that which proved that it was a viable project. Then they got our Sef fund in Stage 2, which gave them the business plan, which then enabled the County Council to apply for a levy levy funding, and they've got nearly a million pounds to deliver this project now from the Government.

509
01:08:38.000 --> 01:08:44.370
Jacky Lawrence: So I just thought that, you know there's so many things he could talk about. Obviously I haven't asked him if he'd be willing.

510
01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:45.930
Andrew Maliphant: Good luck!

511
01:08:45.939 --> 01:08:47.479
Jacky Lawrence: But it's a suggestion.

512
01:08:47.479 --> 01:08:59.848
Andrew Maliphant: Sure I put harbor in brackets against the idea of the community group discussion, because what you've described sounds to me like something that started somewhere that this kept itself going. That's built, smoothed on, that's fine funding, and so forth.

513
01:09:00.149 --> 01:09:04.229
Jacky Lawrence: Community interest company now rather than just an ordinary community group.

514
01:09:04.229 --> 01:09:19.629
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah. So they've gone. They've been through quite a long journey, quite a a gamut of quite a number of different skills, initiatives and working together. Brilliant. Yes. So, okay, yeah. I I think I've I'm on the regular mailing list from from. I'll be on the I'll have it. Have a chat.

515
01:09:19.949 --> 01:09:26.369
Andrew Maliphant: Okay? Thanks again. Amanda for the items in the chat, which I'll we'll

516
01:09:26.839 --> 01:09:28.106
Andrew Maliphant: go on

517
01:09:29.759 --> 01:09:32.343
Andrew Maliphant: bookable bus service. Yep,

518
01:09:33.159 --> 01:09:34.489
Andrew Maliphant: And I cut

519
01:09:34.549 --> 01:09:51.179
Andrew Maliphant: the creation ongoing activity. Yes, I think what we've got at the moment. David, and everybody with great collaborations. We've got 3 working groups we've got 4 for include fundraising. One is about the technical side and the websites and development, and the It side.

520
01:09:51.179 --> 01:10:06.639
Andrew Maliphant: one is about the content, the guidance, putting things into each terms. And the 3rd one is about publicity and communication. And at the moment it seems in in terms of this whole agenda. The way you tell them is top of the list in terms of how we get information out

521
01:10:06.759 --> 01:10:31.509
Andrew Maliphant: and how we engage people. So that is another important area to take care of. We're applying in our lottery bid to cover all of these bases once that bid which has been getting. I've got a lot of feedback on that. That's my job this afternoon to rewrite it. Then we'll be looking again at other sources of funding for all the different elements. Trish you put your hand up.

522
01:10:32.440 --> 01:10:40.349
tristram cary: Yeah, can I? Just I've I think I'm repeating myself a bit. But in the content group I don't. I think it would be really good to identify

523
01:10:40.500 --> 01:10:42.369
tristram cary: in priority orders.

524
01:10:42.500 --> 01:10:56.189
tristram cary: in part over rather the areas where we do want a methodology and the guidance. And and we should maybe bid for funds for that specific thing rather than a general pot of money, which is what you're you're going for at the moment

525
01:10:56.430 --> 01:11:02.440
tristram cary: I think that would be really useful, and I just wanted to also say that in my list of things I added.

526
01:11:03.172 --> 01:11:04.740
tristram cary: building in timber.

527
01:11:04.900 --> 01:11:07.580
tristram cary: and there is, I don't know if you know. But there's a defra

528
01:11:08.995 --> 01:11:10.160
tristram cary: guidance

529
01:11:10.360 --> 01:11:30.590
tristram cary: saying that the government wants to increase the use of timber in construction because concrete is a massively carbon damaging thing to build in, and with new, with engineered wood. You can now make buildings that are tall and strong, and you can make timber as strong as steel and rock proof.

530
01:11:30.590 --> 01:11:49.350
tristram cary: and I don't think that's really understood. And as the housing target is going up to 370, 0 0 0 a year. If we could start to build in timber, it would sequester timber carbon rather, which is good. It would encourage woodland development to make working woods to develop panels.

531
01:11:49.350 --> 01:12:11.689
tristram cary: and I think it would be a very nice topic to to discuss, and that should be, you know, when when we come to David's plan, I think construction of new housing is going to be an important line with important climate implications. So I think we should have a way to encourage neighbourhood plans and and district and local plans to include the encouragement of timber construction.

532
01:12:12.070 --> 01:12:12.465
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

533
01:12:13.160 --> 01:12:15.180
Andrew Maliphant: what? What? What? I've

534
01:12:16.400 --> 01:12:32.980
Andrew Maliphant: I I thought I should, for the great collaboration we should write to the new government ministers to get some points in with them. But also to make sure you know. Fly the flag for the Town Parish Council sector, which is Amanda's pointing out, can sometimes get

535
01:12:33.519 --> 01:12:37.800
Andrew Maliphant: marginalized is perhaps too strong a word, but it feels like it sometimes.

536
01:12:38.190 --> 01:12:43.323
Andrew Maliphant: so I I have written to Angela Gainer, Dana Angela Rayner.

537
01:12:43.840 --> 01:13:06.029
Andrew Maliphant: Oh dear! Oh dear! You could take the man out the seventies anyway. About I will survive. Yes, about planning policy. I've spoken. It ripped to Ed Miliband about energy and net 0. I have been on the government's local net. 0 Forum. I have no idea whether that's going to continue

538
01:13:06.345 --> 01:13:28.369
Andrew Maliphant: and we'll see how that goes. I've spoken to. I actually had a meeting with a couple of Defra officers this morning, which hopefully will give us some more links into the opposite side. But I wrote to these guys and I've written to Rachel Reeves as well. I've no idea whether I'll ever get any response from them. But at least we've got them on the on record. We said this, you send that and so forth.

539
01:13:28.697 --> 01:13:36.609
Andrew Maliphant: So I think that is another example of what you know, the the vertical approach we do need to link up to the Government where we can and how we do it.

540
01:13:36.810 --> 01:13:38.390
Andrew Maliphant: Amanda, you got your hand up.

541
01:13:39.040 --> 01:14:00.350
Amanda Davis: Thank you. Last. Was it last weekend? Possibly the weekend before the weekend before last Division Association? The Parish and Town Council had their agm, and they had the the chief officer from Nalk speaking, and we passed several motions which called on now to do things to lobby the government.

542
01:14:00.460 --> 01:14:29.070
Amanda Davis: It's around new homes, on large new developments around issues of estate management and watching the biodiversity net gain requirement as well doesn't just get pushed on to those homeowners who are having to pay for a State management company, so who may have no control, etc. And it's a secondary legislation that's required from the Leasehold and Freehold Act that went through on what day? The last day of the last Government

543
01:14:29.180 --> 01:14:48.290
Amanda Davis: and that got passed. So it's now going to the policy committee of Nalc to look again at that and strengthen their own policy that they passed. So then it would be the policy of Nalc. So it would be influencing all parish and town councils on guardians. So there's that one.

544
01:14:48.290 --> 01:15:03.829
Amanda Davis: It's also updates it in relation to the competition and market solidarity, finding which shows that the market is a massive, unequal marketplace, and the other needs are the largest strengthening and first-tier tribunals and other ways of.

545
01:15:03.830 --> 01:15:27.030
Amanda Davis: etc. But my point in raising that here is not about one of democracy and of regulation. It's more about how we manage our largest states and public open spaces. We haven't got direct control as councils, and then thinking about that, but thinking about flooding and attenuation policy.

546
01:15:27.090 --> 01:15:46.759
Amanda Davis: the Water Act, that you may or may not know in Wales that part of the Water Act was made live, that it said that no public call of attenuation funds, but the whole of the 3rd Citizen could not be in private ownership.

547
01:15:47.210 --> 01:16:08.729
Amanda Davis: So therefore, public ownership retains control and the responsibility for maintaining all of this flood protection if you like. But also it's the biodiversity. It's everything that goes around that space that looks after our ponds and our flood management and citizens. And in England that was never brought into force.

548
01:16:08.730 --> 01:16:17.670
Amanda Davis: So, although it's there in the act, it has not yet become the law in England, and if it was the case, and there are a whole load of state management companies

549
01:16:17.670 --> 01:16:39.550
Amanda Davis: that we no longer have those ponds in their control. And we're finding now that as the last 10 years we've had more and more of these ponds that were built, finding 10 years ago are functioning 5, 10 years ago are now failing to be maintained, are not functioning, and are causing, not flooding on the estate, but flooding in the rest of our Paritarian Council land

550
01:16:39.600 --> 01:16:49.189
Amanda Davis: and the homes, and we have 0 control over it that I've been banging on about the years and you know, loans surprise.

551
01:16:49.280 --> 01:16:59.299
Amanda Davis: We've actually got issues and we can't control it. So we passed that motion. It's very hotly contested, but it was passed on a 8 to 6 votes

552
01:16:59.800 --> 01:17:29.230
Amanda Davis: and corporate, which is really amazing, but it is now for now to look at, and whether its policy committee chooses or not, but to lobby the new government, to have the Water Act enacted in England to bring more control under public ownership. It's not so much about public ownership. It's about having more control, so that these parts are currently in private ownership

553
01:17:29.450 --> 01:17:48.120
Amanda Davis: cannot be left neglected and then end up either with notifiable. We've had plumbers, and instead of, you know, plants growing in the pond that then goes down through the drainage system and then contaminates a lot of areas that we don't have for the fun like Japanese can't weed. And this sort of thing

554
01:17:48.750 --> 01:17:55.779
Amanda Davis: and we've got no control over the source, because there's no way of reinforcing anything when you've got

555
01:17:56.470 --> 01:18:06.404
Amanda Davis: so I don't know whether that area, which is an area where I've been working on with an Rmp. With all sorts of other people. But that whole thing about how do we look at?

556
01:18:06.800 --> 01:18:12.590
Amanda Davis: It is an environment, it's diversity, it's planning law. It is everything that affects us.

557
01:18:13.216 --> 01:18:18.019
Amanda Davis: So I don't know whether that's something of interest as well, but certainly an update for us all.

558
01:18:18.240 --> 01:18:42.280
Andrew Maliphant: What I've what I've drafted is something about estate management brackets, public control. So I think that covers the point you're making as far as nalk is concerned, I imagine I'm not on the inside of nalk. I imagine that there will be re forging their campaigning and lobbying links with the new government as we speak. I know they have a spokeswoman in the House of Lords who has already been saying some

559
01:18:42.615 --> 01:18:50.320
Andrew Maliphant: important things. They do have on on the website a sort of manifesto link of the policies that they are seeking to

560
01:18:50.320 --> 01:19:01.180
Andrew Maliphant: promote and so we can be looking at those slcc on the other hasn't been very much of a policy organization before. It's been very much role

561
01:19:01.673 --> 01:19:07.880
Andrew Maliphant: there is that, but particularly perhaps through the climate side. There is some

562
01:19:07.940 --> 01:19:20.499
Andrew Maliphant: ways in which associates can add a bit of weight to the wheel. The there's going to be a new director of policy and External Services chap called Michael King, who's currently a town clerk at Whitby.

563
01:19:20.580 --> 01:19:37.530
Andrew Maliphant: in the in Yorkshire, and he's going to be in post at Soc. At the end of August. Maybe he'll be my boss. I have spoken to him so that there will be, and that person, I imagine, will also get a seat, because that was the past practice on the Nell Policy Committee. So there are ways.

564
01:19:37.530 --> 01:19:52.899
Andrew Maliphant: There are ways, and there are means. There are ways through with this. But I think what we've been talking about today generally is, what is the agenda? What are the issues, what are the approaches, the practical approaches to making a difference, partly in terms of planning, partly in terms of policy, but also in terms of action on the ground.

565
01:19:53.289 --> 01:20:08.779
Andrew Maliphant: And I think, actually, from from my perspective, this has been an enormously helpful and supportive session, because it's actually boosted all the things that we've been talking about doing, wanting to doing in the process of doing, and very much appears that they are still very valid.

566
01:20:08.990 --> 01:20:10.600
Andrew Maliphant: So that's great to have

567
01:20:11.301 --> 01:20:26.177
Andrew Maliphant: David, I will keep in. Get in touch through at some super point. About some of some of this stuff. And I think the only thing I know about campaigning planning was from the books of Jack Masters. But that's going back a bit. Yes, you know, I told him.

568
01:20:27.140 --> 01:20:31.520
Andrew Maliphant: in the regimental Museum of Gloucestershire. The which is sort of the

569
01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:51.758
Andrew Maliphant: sort of sort of partly the Rifles Magazine. They've got a button from one of John Narciss uniforms. No, it's a belt buckle, it's a belt buckle. So this is. This is you know, this was a a man of some stature and renown, and it's sufficiently well known that they probably put his belt buckle on display in in zoom. Okay, take nothing.

570
01:20:52.060 --> 01:20:52.669
tristram cary: I'm good. Yeah.

571
01:20:52.933 --> 01:21:05.590
Andrew Maliphant: Thanks so much for saying thanks, everybody, for all that links we've got a list, then of what in the next items that are coming up. I will circulate this around our collective list. There's quite a lot of us is over 400 of us.

572
01:21:06.030 --> 01:21:20.770
Andrew Maliphant: Some of them may be finding difficulty getting into this. So this may may not be even getting some of the regular information, because, we're doing it through email rather than Mailchimp at the moment. And some stuff may be ending up in

573
01:21:20.800 --> 01:21:33.820
Andrew Maliphant: in in various spam folders. So our plan is to get this more onto the thing about Mailchimp. Some of these other naming software is that it reduces the risk of that. Things being shoveled into spam.

574
01:21:34.060 --> 01:21:44.499
Andrew Maliphant: So we'll see how we doing that? Because, I mean, with 400 more people on the circulation list, we think we get more than you know, we if we we rarely get more than 30 people attending. I think so

575
01:21:45.630 --> 01:21:49.779
Andrew Maliphant: any more for any more. Thanks, Stuart, any more from you, David.

576
01:21:50.120 --> 01:21:51.000
David Morgan-Jones: Thank you.

577
01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:52.279
Andrew Maliphant: Amanda any more today.

578
01:21:52.280 --> 01:22:12.530
Amanda Davis: Yeah, just a big thank you. And well done. And like, you know, loads of positives, because to keep anything new, fresh and shiny going for 30 weeks, and with loads of enthusiasm growing for the future. You know big congratulations to everybody, big pats on the back and loads of please keep it going.

579
01:22:12.530 --> 01:22:20.253
Andrew Maliphant: Okay? Well, Pat Graham on the back when he returns. Yeah, possibly to pump the seawater out of his lungs. Jackie, hey? Any more from you.

580
01:22:20.740 --> 01:22:23.459
Jacky Lawrence: No, no, just thank you.

581
01:22:23.460 --> 01:22:24.500
Stuart Withington: Okay, thanks. A lot.

582
01:22:24.500 --> 01:22:28.329
Andrew Maliphant: Holiday, and we'll hear from Peter Burt in Badminton City Trust next week.
WEBVTT

1
00:13:05.010 --> 00:13:06.120
tristram cary: Hello! Andrew.

2
00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:10.949
Andrew Maliphant: Christian. Thanks. Your email. Very good jacky appeared and then disappeared again. So I expect she'll be back.

3
00:13:10.950 --> 00:13:13.260
tristram cary: Just just us. That's extraordinary.

4
00:13:13.260 --> 00:13:13.580
Andrew Maliphant: Well.

5
00:13:13.830 --> 00:13:14.330
tristram cary: Let's see.

6
00:13:14.330 --> 00:13:19.340
Andrew Maliphant: This is the difference between here she comes. The difference between having a clear topic and a general discussion.

7
00:13:19.340 --> 00:13:20.906
tristram cary: Yes. Yeah.

8
00:13:21.690 --> 00:13:23.659
Andrew Maliphant: No idea how many of us they would be.

9
00:13:25.030 --> 00:13:26.290
Andrew Maliphant: Hi! Jackie!

10
00:13:26.290 --> 00:13:27.555
Jacky Lawrence: Hello!

11
00:13:28.820 --> 00:13:31.646
Andrew Maliphant: Amanda Davis doesn't turn up, but we'll see

12
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:33.240
Jacky Lawrence: Oh, she's.

13
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:40.309
Andrew Maliphant: No, she's got some ideas for for the program. So yeah, she mentioned it last time.

14
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.919
Andrew Maliphant: Thank you, David. Good to see you here what I'll do. I'll put up the list so we could start thinking about it.

15
00:13:47.540 --> 00:13:48.340
Andrew Maliphant: We've got what we.

16
00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:49.760
tristram cary: There's a bar.

17
00:13:50.340 --> 00:13:53.269
Andrew Maliphant: And my work. We've done quite a lot.

18
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:55.529
tristram cary: Yeah, it's totally good, isn't.

19
00:14:01.540 --> 00:14:06.670
Jacky Lawrence: Don't you think there'll come a time when we have to revisit ones that have already been done, cause we'll get new people on.

20
00:14:06.670 --> 00:14:16.490
Andrew Maliphant: Well, we're already having. We've got carbon literacy coming again on the 14th from the Carbon Literacy project. Yes, if there's any that we think, oh, go away

21
00:14:17.610 --> 00:14:23.540
Andrew Maliphant: any that we think need particularly refreshing. Let's let's let's think about that. Certainly. Yeah.

22
00:14:24.280 --> 00:14:26.992
Andrew Maliphant: yeah, David, understand about signing in what's

23
00:14:28.196 --> 00:14:28.903
Andrew Maliphant: Chris?

24
00:14:31.470 --> 00:14:51.660
Andrew Maliphant: Sorry, Graham, who who manages these zoom sessions? He! He's been thwarted from being spending more time with us this month through adverse winds on his ending trip, and so he hasn't. He was only with us a couple of days for it to go back to Spain, so he hasn't looked again at the issue that we have with signing in with it, with the zoom.

25
00:14:51.730 --> 00:14:53.952
Andrew Maliphant: I've had a look at it myself.

26
00:14:55.220 --> 00:15:16.559
Andrew Maliphant: This is about advanced registration. I haven't been able to pick it out. We will have to look at that more closely. We may have to ring Zoom to work out what it is. I'm wondering. I'm wondering out loud whether in terms of the advanced registration that there's a there's a sort of file folder for it within zoom, and we've filled up the you know the storage space.

27
00:15:16.570 --> 00:15:19.179
Andrew Maliphant: That's only a single guess on my part.

28
00:15:19.521 --> 00:15:24.940
Andrew Maliphant: But yeah, it's we need to get back to how easy it was to join in before.

29
00:15:26.670 --> 00:15:27.500
Jacky Lawrence: Got in

30
00:15:27.630 --> 00:15:30.359
Jacky Lawrence: through signing in for next week's again.

31
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:31.939
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah, that's right, yeah.

32
00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:35.099
Jacky Lawrence: And got straight in by doing that registered for the event.

33
00:15:35.250 --> 00:15:36.070
Jacky Lawrence: Once.

34
00:15:36.070 --> 00:15:42.519
Andrew Maliphant: Once we've yeah, once once the meeting is started it's easy to log straight in, and we found that out.

35
00:15:43.305 --> 00:15:52.689
Andrew Maliphant: but to say, unfortunately, Chris, I keep trying to say Chris Graham was only with us for a couple of days. before he had to go back again.

36
00:15:53.050 --> 00:16:02.129
Andrew Maliphant: as he was say, was helping to sail the sale. The ship out out to Spain came back to do some work, and then he had to fly back again to shale ship back again, so that's where he is.

37
00:16:02.520 --> 00:16:05.609
Andrew Maliphant: But he should be with us by the end of August. I'll be well.

38
00:16:09.640 --> 00:16:11.440
tristram cary: Is Joel's going to join us. Do you think.

39
00:16:11.920 --> 00:16:12.400
Andrew Maliphant: Pause.

40
00:16:15.090 --> 00:16:16.140
Andrew Maliphant: I don't know.

41
00:16:18.014 --> 00:16:22.650
Andrew Maliphant: I've been rather being a bit of a caretaker chairman of the sort of setting out the invitations every.

42
00:16:23.185 --> 00:16:23.720
David Morgan-Jones: I'm.

43
00:16:25.791 --> 00:16:29.170
Andrew Maliphant: people tend not to say whether they're coming or not. They just tend to turn up.

44
00:16:30.636 --> 00:16:35.073
Andrew Maliphant: Hopefully, also, what we'll what I'll do at the end of this session, however long it takes is

45
00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:42.990
Andrew Maliphant: I'll email what we've talked about and email, the you know, these notes I've got here around the whole team.

46
00:16:43.130 --> 00:16:51.385
Andrew Maliphant: I'll audience and we'll speak. Give people opportunity to make any other suggestions. Let's say I know Amanda was going to be speaking to somebody else about it.

47
00:16:52.340 --> 00:16:54.360
Andrew Maliphant: see where we go from there.

48
00:16:56.130 --> 00:16:56.930
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

49
00:16:59.350 --> 00:17:05.990
Andrew Maliphant: So, as I say, it may be just the 4 of us. I don't know but I think the idea as well as the new stuff

50
00:17:06.695 --> 00:17:09.024
Andrew Maliphant: Trisha was suggested. Something on

51
00:17:10.109 --> 00:17:11.869
Andrew Maliphant: a timber construction.

52
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:16.029
Andrew Maliphant: Let's see if I can find my notes. From what Amanda said last time.

53
00:17:17.700 --> 00:17:19.020
tristram cary: About timber, construction.

54
00:17:19.020 --> 00:17:21.711
Andrew Maliphant: No, not about about.

55
00:17:22.790 --> 00:17:25.829
Andrew Maliphant: there was some. She was got climate, anxiety. There we are.

56
00:17:27.569 --> 00:17:35.430
Andrew Maliphant: So I'll add that to the list. Obviously, that is a valid sort of item.

57
00:17:36.120 --> 00:17:36.970
Andrew Maliphant: Adam.

58
00:17:37.450 --> 00:17:40.119
Andrew Maliphant: and keep being told that young people have got

59
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:41.900
Andrew Maliphant: concerns about.

60
00:17:42.250 --> 00:17:44.225
Andrew Maliphant: It's possibly even more than

61
00:17:45.770 --> 00:17:49.700
Andrew Maliphant: those of us who silver in our heads. We'll see. There we are.

62
00:17:50.040 --> 00:17:56.170
Andrew Maliphant: So that was one suggestion. As you'll see the next 5 we I've managed to get some great volunteers along

63
00:17:56.940 --> 00:18:01.950
Andrew Maliphant: per paper. Environmental City Trust are coming on the 7.th

64
00:18:02.170 --> 00:18:05.520
Andrew Maliphant: The Carbon Literacy project itself is coming on the 14.th

65
00:18:05.600 --> 00:18:09.200
Andrew Maliphant: My friend Ed Gamel, who's a very good speaker indeed.

66
00:18:09.850 --> 00:18:12.010
Andrew Maliphant: but some practical approach on 21, st

67
00:18:12.090 --> 00:18:16.890
Andrew Maliphant: Mike Eccles, who's a regular attendant. These events is going to talk about all things they're doing in pay on. Why.

68
00:18:17.110 --> 00:18:20.509
Andrew Maliphant: and Chris Mcfarlane, one of the

69
00:18:20.650 --> 00:18:25.199
Andrew Maliphant: Cabinet members in the Forest of Dean District Council, have been heavily involved in this member of the Green party.

70
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:28.510
Andrew Maliphant: We have particular thing in the Forest of Dean about a biosphere.

71
00:18:29.108 --> 00:18:30.900
Andrew Maliphant: For us to dean.

72
00:18:30.910 --> 00:18:33.070
Andrew Maliphant: Some of us may or may not know.

73
00:18:33.330 --> 00:18:39.629
Andrew Maliphant: There were 2 reports made after the the Second World War about protected landscapes, national parks.

74
00:18:39.690 --> 00:18:44.310
Andrew Maliphant: America was 1st in with national parks idea. I think it was. Yellowstone is the 1st ever one

75
00:18:45.068 --> 00:18:53.540
Andrew Maliphant: and there are 2 reports looking at places where they should be national parks or brick landscapes in some sort or another.

76
00:18:53.810 --> 00:18:56.710
Andrew Maliphant: the Forrester Dean featured on both lists.

77
00:18:57.154 --> 00:19:00.309
Andrew Maliphant: But has never actually had any particular designation.

78
00:19:00.852 --> 00:19:06.489
Andrew Maliphant: Bits of the forest. There's a y Valley A and B, but not the forest itself.

79
00:19:06.620 --> 00:19:10.200
Andrew Maliphant: So its protection has been mostly because it's owned by the Crown.

80
00:19:10.632 --> 00:19:23.800
Andrew Maliphant: But there's the idea about having a Biosphere reserve is something that's come through locally and it will be interesting to hear from Chris how that develops, how that has developed. And of course, think about whether that might be applied as a concept

81
00:19:24.230 --> 00:19:25.740
Andrew Maliphant: elsewhere. Yeah.

82
00:19:26.760 --> 00:19:31.220
Andrew Maliphant: So, Jackie, you said, what are there other things that we might want to revisit?

83
00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:36.631
Jacky Lawrence: Yeah, I was just having a look at what the responsibilities or the roles of parish councils.

84
00:19:37.130 --> 00:19:44.739
Jacky Lawrence: So I was just having a look at the list of things we've already covered, and possibly things that might I mean, I can't recommend speakers.

85
00:19:45.256 --> 00:19:51.840
Jacky Lawrence: but I was just looking at this, so I know we've already done flood risk, haven't we? But allotments

86
00:19:52.485 --> 00:19:59.099
Jacky Lawrence: village halls, I mean, I don't know if there's any good case studies. There must be some village halls that are like net 0.

87
00:19:59.100 --> 00:20:07.639
Andrew Maliphant: Well, funny you should say that because I've got Liz Shayla, who is from Somerset, who we did a case study with her

88
00:20:08.413 --> 00:20:08.996
Andrew Maliphant: on

89
00:20:10.324 --> 00:20:12.420
Andrew Maliphant: retrofitting a village hall.

90
00:20:12.665 --> 00:20:18.539
Andrew Maliphant: It was an interesting story, because they went down a long way down the road, and that it discovered, because the All had a metal roof.

91
00:20:18.590 --> 00:20:21.370
Andrew Maliphant: There were practical issues with pulling panels on it.

92
00:20:21.370 --> 00:20:21.990
Jacky Lawrence: Yes.

93
00:20:21.990 --> 00:20:26.419
Andrew Maliphant: However, good news is. The next door to them was the scout hut.

94
00:20:26.580 --> 00:20:34.370
Andrew Maliphant: and they could put pals on the scouts. They've so that's altogether quite a fascinating story, so I'll I'll make a note of that

95
00:20:35.115 --> 00:20:38.769
Andrew Maliphant: to chase up that with with Liz. That'd be fine.

96
00:20:39.810 --> 00:20:52.409
Jacky Lawrence: There's just what there's another thing from from our experience where we we are. The Parish Council own a spinney, a small woodland which is outside or just on the edges of the parish boundary.

97
00:20:52.761 --> 00:21:03.689
Jacky Lawrence: And so one of the suggestions that they haven't said. But somebody else has said just one of the members of the public is, why don't they sell that and buy some land

98
00:21:04.140 --> 00:21:16.830
Jacky Lawrence: within the village envelope to plant tree and plant trees? So I don't know whether there's any experience of parish councils creating their own little mini forests, or something.

99
00:21:16.830 --> 00:21:20.030
Andrew Maliphant: Okay, sale and purchase, shall I? Yeah.

100
00:21:20.030 --> 00:21:21.690
Jacky Lawrence: Yeah, Andrew.

101
00:21:21.690 --> 00:21:26.453
Amanda Davis: I've got an idea on that one. It's Amanda here.

102
00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:46.799
Amanda Davis: North Leach, Pauline. Is the clerk there, and they they inherited, or they were they asked for and were gifted by Cotswold District Council, some woodland that they're now managing, that they didn't have before but there's more to it than that, and I wonder whether that might be of interest.

103
00:21:47.610 --> 00:21:49.329
Jacky Lawrence: Woodland management. Yes.

104
00:21:49.330 --> 00:21:59.720
Amanda Davis: It. Well, it was about how they got the track, how they got it, they how they came into ownership of it, and how they're now managing it and running it, and what what the issues have been.

105
00:22:00.810 --> 00:22:01.570
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

106
00:22:02.302 --> 00:22:05.980
Amanda Davis: North, Leach, you know that's just down the road from Boughton on the water.

107
00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:06.600
Andrew Maliphant: Indeed.

108
00:22:07.300 --> 00:22:22.002
Jacky Lawrence: Another thing that we've just supported as the climate and Environment Working group is the Local Sports Association. Changing their floodlights to Leds and getting a grant for it. So I'm sure there's lots of parish councils

109
00:22:22.530 --> 00:22:28.830
Jacky Lawrence: with sports associations close by them that might also want to use Leds.

110
00:22:29.900 --> 00:22:37.460
Amanda Davis: And a and also it's about the angling of the lights as well for dark sky status and for the owls and nightlife.

111
00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:44.669
Amanda Davis: If you've got a nature reserve next to you. So if it's anything on lighting, I've got a little bit of knowledge and contact on that.

112
00:22:44.830 --> 00:23:14.589
Amanda Davis: but it's a it's a an adjacent issue. It's a different issue to when Jackie's raising, which is about a program of replacing with Led. But this is this is about not just leds per se, but about the angling of them. So they angle downwards, or we just have experience where we've got a a plan, a new planning development instead of having floodlights on the top of their 2 story building angled down. They've done these posts where there's a light at the top, but they're like bollards.

113
00:23:14.710 --> 00:23:17.080
Amanda Davis: So they've kept the lighting much lower.

114
00:23:17.590 --> 00:23:39.310
Amanda Davis: So it's sort of planning issues for lighting and also lighting when you're next to a nature reserve. And one of the planning restrictions is that you can't have street lighting. So what do you do? And if you haven't thought about putting street lighting restrictions on when you've got on the edge of green space, etc. Thinking about dark sky status.

115
00:23:39.900 --> 00:23:48.490
Jacky Lawrence: It's not just that. It's the web lighting affects butterflies and moths, and their ability to like continue their species.

116
00:23:49.010 --> 00:24:03.630
Andrew Maliphant: Sport sport England, how developing a policy whereby they won't grow people unless they to clubs unless they are paying attention to some of these matters. We do have a link to the conservation officer there, so maybe that would be good person to come across David. You got your hand up, then.

117
00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:09.460
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah, just a just a general observation and and and some thoughts.

118
00:24:09.820 --> 00:24:14.100
David Morgan-Jones: I mean, I've now that Tristan very kindly invited me in.

119
00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:23.910
David Morgan-Jones: this. This has been fascinating, and the amount of information that that we're I'm beginning to sort of absorb is, you know, almost sort of get my brain melting out my ears.

120
00:24:26.580 --> 00:24:28.820
David Morgan-Jones: I just wonder

121
00:24:29.610 --> 00:24:36.990
David Morgan-Jones: whether there is a way of taking all this fantastic stuff that people are advising and and talking about.

122
00:24:37.760 --> 00:24:42.328
David Morgan-Jones: I'm producing a series of checklists and toolkits.

123
00:24:43.310 --> 00:24:49.749
David Morgan-Jones: because it's so difficult to handle the huge amount of information that's now out there.

124
00:24:49.850 --> 00:24:52.499
David Morgan-Jones: And if you're quite a naive

125
00:24:52.800 --> 00:24:56.729
David Morgan-Jones: Parish Council, which I think the majority of Parish councils are.

126
00:24:57.410 --> 00:25:02.570
David Morgan-Jones: if they want to try and and start to make inroads into some of this stuff.

127
00:25:03.490 --> 00:25:10.309
David Morgan-Jones: Just a simple idiot's guide to so getting going would be incredibly helpful.

128
00:25:11.078 --> 00:25:37.950
David Morgan-Jones: With more detail information if you wanted it. So you know, lighting on sports fields is not going to be an issue for us, but it may well be for a number of others. So the ability to go, you know, lighting. Okay? And then go into the lighting checklist and all those sort of issues and problems associated with, you know that. And it's impact. I mean, I hadn't even thought about, you know, dark skies. But you're absolutely right. And then it's impact on.

129
00:25:38.303 --> 00:25:39.009
tristram cary: Local population.

130
00:25:39.010 --> 00:25:46.099
David Morgan-Jones: Too. You suddenly realize. Gosh, yeah. And then, maybe making sure you only have it on when you need to have it on

131
00:25:46.972 --> 00:25:51.200
David Morgan-Jones: that type of thing. So it's about, how do we begin to

132
00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:53.790
David Morgan-Jones: harness this knowledge

133
00:25:53.850 --> 00:25:56.040
David Morgan-Jones: in a way that really

134
00:25:56.642 --> 00:26:01.797
David Morgan-Jones: allows us to get on and start doing some stuff as opposed to talking about stuff.

135
00:26:02.120 --> 00:26:05.320
Andrew Maliphant: You've just described the great Collaborations Mission, David.

136
00:26:06.130 --> 00:26:17.029
Andrew Maliphant: which is absolutely spot on. And and no, I'm not. You know it's true. What we're looking to do is is to make joining up the dots, make what we call making the climate jungle more navigable

137
00:26:17.050 --> 00:26:31.060
Andrew Maliphant: because you're right. There's too much stuff out there. And of course, every time somebody has a bright idea, yeah, the jungle gets thicker. Yeah, exactly. So what I've got on the screen now is the template we've developed for recording such good practice.

138
00:26:31.100 --> 00:26:38.006
Andrew Maliphant: and we're actively working on. We've got a small team working on populating this. I'll see if I've got the one about

139
00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:44.249
Andrew Maliphant: Let me get rid of that one. I've got the one about. We've done about allotments and

140
00:26:47.580 --> 00:26:49.260
Andrew Maliphant: Where is it? Okay.

141
00:26:49.910 --> 00:26:53.319
Andrew Maliphant: we've we should be assigned a worked example, which is

142
00:26:54.030 --> 00:26:54.940
Andrew Maliphant: a

143
00:26:56.212 --> 00:27:03.820
Andrew Maliphant: actually, while I wrote myself. But then, since it's been marked markedly improved by several other people.

144
00:27:04.330 --> 00:27:05.349
Andrew Maliphant: Here we go

145
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:09.690
Andrew Maliphant: right.

146
00:27:09.890 --> 00:27:11.069
Andrew Maliphant: I can't approve.

147
00:27:15.820 --> 00:27:20.090
Andrew Maliphant: Alright. So creating new allotments. Here it is.

148
00:27:20.380 --> 00:27:26.896
Andrew Maliphant: It's already been suggested. This would have been improved by having some graphics in it. But there we go. So creating new allotments.

149
00:27:27.814 --> 00:27:33.109
Andrew Maliphant: so I mean, any project like this obviously needs to have a leader. We can agree on that

150
00:27:33.210 --> 00:27:39.309
Andrew Maliphant: parish town councils. That's 1 of the few statutory duties we have as parish and town councils to look into finding new allotments.

151
00:27:39.410 --> 00:27:51.160
Andrew Maliphant: There are funding sources. There's a National Allotment Society who obviously can advise and anybody want to try and find your nearest local council with allotments.

152
00:27:51.170 --> 00:27:54.860
Andrew Maliphant: There's some skills that require. These are the resources.

153
00:27:56.601 --> 00:28:07.009
Andrew Maliphant: some people say, even if it's poor soil, you can add more soil on top of it. But anyway, this is this is sort of a checklist materials that you need. Certainly fencing potentially a notice board

154
00:28:07.700 --> 00:28:08.760
Andrew Maliphant: possibly sheds

155
00:28:09.122 --> 00:28:13.360
Andrew Maliphant: planning authority, approval for change of use depending on where or what it is?

156
00:28:13.878 --> 00:28:28.860
Andrew Maliphant: Contractors, if you not need, do we need contractors, or can we do it ourselves? We might need contractors, we may be able to do it ourselves if we're gonna have water on site, which is a clinical thing, you know. Do we need to? Is it got water on the site? Do we need to lay pipes.

157
00:28:28.930 --> 00:28:32.639
Andrew Maliphant: and that so there we are. And so in terms of the steps to success.

158
00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:36.629
Andrew Maliphant: There we? There we go, find a suitable site, negotiate, purchase all.

159
00:28:36.630 --> 00:28:49.759
David Morgan-Jones: Andrew Andrew, would this be possible? i i i'm I'm I'm asking what would be really, really helpful, I think, is if we could convert these word documents into a Wiki

160
00:28:49.890 --> 00:28:51.260
David Morgan-Jones: Wikipedia type.

161
00:28:51.605 --> 00:28:51.950
Amanda Davis: Yes.

162
00:28:51.950 --> 00:28:52.730
David Morgan-Jones: Structure.

163
00:28:53.350 --> 00:28:54.179
Andrew Maliphant: Absolutely. Yes.

164
00:28:54.180 --> 00:29:06.180
David Morgan-Jones: So so that you could, because you've got the lovely structure. Now. It's just a question of creating the the Wiki pages, and of course they're then all interlinked. So when you're looking at.

165
00:29:06.180 --> 00:29:06.750
Andrew Maliphant: Smith.

166
00:29:06.993 --> 00:29:18.916
David Morgan-Jones: So so of course, if you got volunteers is a whole bunch of health and safety stuff, you're gonna have to do. So we could link to health and safety page that just says, you know, this is the health and safety stuff you need to make sure you've

167
00:29:19.210 --> 00:29:24.699
David Morgan-Jones: tick boxes. Do you have the licensing? Do you have the appropriate insurance?

168
00:29:25.162 --> 00:29:26.610
David Morgan-Jones: Blah blah blah blah.

169
00:29:27.060 --> 00:29:34.710
tristram cary: David, is there a poly? Is there a worry? If you do that, as I understand it, that could be open for people to come and add to and put comments on. Yeah.

170
00:29:34.710 --> 00:29:37.010
David Morgan-Jones: No, you can do whatever you like.

171
00:29:37.010 --> 00:29:37.340
tristram cary: Okay.

172
00:29:37.340 --> 00:29:41.159
David Morgan-Jones: Either. Have it completely. Read, only

173
00:29:42.010 --> 00:29:56.633
David Morgan-Jones: you can so you can assign permissions to different people. So if you've got somebody who is the ninja on allotments. You can assign a person with permissions to update and do that

174
00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:16.059
David Morgan-Jones: if you want to, you can add comments so you can if people've got something they can write in comments or email to the the owner of that page. Or you can do a Wikipedia full thing which is basically totally democratic where people can go in and edit the pages. But

175
00:30:16.150 --> 00:30:28.700
David Morgan-Jones: each page has somebody, a responsible adult who can go in there and rip out the rubbish that somebody might have put in there. If it's proved to be inaccurate or just salacious nonsense!

176
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:30.290
Amanda Davis: Fact, checker.

177
00:30:30.570 --> 00:30:34.279
Andrew Maliphant: Yes, we've got again. The

178
00:30:34.350 --> 00:30:37.309
Andrew Maliphant: the advice that we've already inherited from

179
00:30:37.380 --> 00:30:51.100
Andrew Maliphant: great collaborations in its original format. The advice that we're developing now links to other places. Those are all going to be part of a wiki we're looking at using a piece of software called Get book for that.

180
00:30:51.150 --> 00:30:57.729
Andrew Maliphant: And we're looking into that as we speak. So you're absolutely right in terms of access. Our general approach is that

181
00:30:57.950 --> 00:31:02.520
Andrew Maliphant: the old golden standard people only need to have 3 clicks of the mouse to find what they want.

182
00:31:02.550 --> 00:31:11.799
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah. So one click of a mouse is going to the wiki, the database, whatever you want to call it and say, I want set. You know, community orchards press the button. You know that that.

183
00:31:11.800 --> 00:31:31.719
tristram cary: Can I can. I just brought. I think that example of the allotments is is a really good one, Andrew, but it's it's slightly worrying to me that you created that page you took that on. Could we not also work, for instance, with the Allotment Society, who are very keen to promote. You know better allotments and more of them, and all that stuff.

184
00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:32.040
Andrew Maliphant: Well.

185
00:31:32.040 --> 00:31:36.719
tristram cary: And could could they not? Could they not sort of help us and lead on that? And could we not?

186
00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:39.979
tristram cary: Could we not also apply for some funding

187
00:31:40.520 --> 00:31:55.050
tristram cary: from I don't know who on a much smaller scale, say, you know, we want 20,000 pounds to to to create this guide at with the with the Allotment Society, and maybe Defra, you know, who are also keen on it, and and say that we're not doing it all, you know in our spare time.

188
00:31:55.320 --> 00:31:56.220
Andrew Maliphant: Right?

189
00:31:56.360 --> 00:31:57.245
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

190
00:31:58.850 --> 00:32:04.420
tristram cary: And I think there's a lead. There's a sort of natural Government Department lead for pretty well all these things.

191
00:32:04.420 --> 00:32:12.180
Andrew Maliphant: Yes, indeed. I've have written to Government ministers on Monday. I haven't had any plans yet, but we will see what transpires. As you know, Tristan.

192
00:32:12.632 --> 00:32:13.436
Andrew Maliphant: I think

193
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:21.289
Andrew Maliphant: the in terms of funding. We've got a lottery bit about to go in shortly, which will also.

194
00:32:21.290 --> 00:32:21.640
Jacky Lawrence: You.

195
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:41.099
Andrew Maliphant: For that. The thing about lottery, Bundy is it is a lottery. We never know we're gonna get it or not. But it. It's quite a a large bid we're putting in once, that is, off off my desk and into the system that we start looking at other funds, and in terms of National Lotman society. You'll see. I've already suggested that I speak to them about coming and talking to us. So that's fine.

196
00:32:41.100 --> 00:32:41.589
tristram cary: Yeah. Good.

197
00:32:41.590 --> 00:32:42.410
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah. Jack.

198
00:32:42.410 --> 00:32:44.060
David Morgan-Jones: Amanda have got their hands up.

199
00:32:44.060 --> 00:32:45.020
Andrew Maliphant: Yes, Jackie.

200
00:32:45.368 --> 00:33:03.860
Jacky Lawrence: So I've got something to add to your allotment thing. So on on Monday our Parish Council are discussing whether to purchase the weed, suppressing membrane to create another 3 allotments in the land that they're already using. That's been like lots of left fallow for ages. So it was just just that.

201
00:33:04.280 --> 00:33:05.130
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

202
00:33:07.460 --> 00:33:12.180
Andrew Maliphant: Okay, yeah, thank you. Yes, lovely job. That's on the list. Amanda.

203
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:25.999
Amanda Davis: Yeah, I'm on our Parish Environment Committee, which is responsible for allotments. And we've been doing quite a lot to see if we can review our allotments, policies so that we can run them in a more

204
00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:32.779
Amanda Davis: friendly way, in a more enabling way for nature, for allotment, holders, etc. Rather than the

205
00:33:32.990 --> 00:33:39.419
Amanda Davis: you must do this. You shouldn't do that and so we've had these for the 1st time.

206
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:43.259
Amanda Davis: So we've got beekeeping policy on the allotments.

207
00:33:43.440 --> 00:34:11.100
Amanda Davis: and I don't say it's perfect, it's further or perfect. I was arguing, or there is amendments to it, but I think it's 1 of those things that little steps, you know. So we went with the lowest common denominator, in my opinion, which says things like, you know, if you've got an angry heart, you've got to take everything away. No, you can't have a maximum. You've got to have a what does it say? Something like you've got to have a maximum of 2 minds.

208
00:34:11.100 --> 00:34:36.760
Amanda Davis: but when you get an angry hive you've got to have a 3rd or a 4th to separate, or to allow the 2 queens that are falling out to move a bit. You know it's kind of it's not perfect, but it's a start. And we used to say, No, these no, that's all. People might get so long because we didn't know what we were talking about, because we're volunteers. We're not gatekeepers, and we found beekeepers in our style community. So I think it's

209
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:43.399
Amanda Davis: it's something about I think 2 things. One is beekeeping allotments, which is a subject in itself.

210
00:34:43.409 --> 00:34:43.739
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah.

211
00:34:43.739 --> 00:34:47.919
Amanda Davis: And the other one is how to use community experts

212
00:34:48.369 --> 00:34:52.229
Amanda Davis: to enable parish councils as amateurs.

213
00:34:55.580 --> 00:34:56.400
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

214
00:34:57.430 --> 00:34:58.750
Andrew Maliphant: involving

215
00:34:59.010 --> 00:35:00.090
Andrew Maliphant: Hello, cool

216
00:35:00.520 --> 00:35:01.750
Andrew Maliphant: community.

217
00:35:02.780 --> 00:35:04.650
Andrew Maliphant: I call it. Talk it. X topic.

218
00:35:04.650 --> 00:35:07.459
Amanda Davis: Yeah, yes, I'll get under it. So it's a bit of a.

219
00:35:07.640 --> 00:35:22.179
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah, I mean, that's particularly relevant to some of the things we've been saying about biodiversity net gain, because all of a sudden talent Parish councils have to respond to these things within planning applications. And it really helps. If you've got some local people that can can step in there.

220
00:35:24.130 --> 00:35:47.720
Amanda Davis: And he also plays to. Was it David Tristram or David who said about you know the allotment of society, for example, Uniform Association. It's kind of knowing who the experts are out there and working alongside them. But I think it's still got to be us running this show, because it's from a parish townhouse perspective, isn't it? We are the experts on that.

221
00:35:47.720 --> 00:35:57.169
tristram cary: But they do, but they do have a lot of expertise on allotments, and they lecture all around the country on how to do it, and they they would have somebody. I'm ashore who'd know about bees and be able to advise.

222
00:35:57.685 --> 00:36:05.409
Amanda Davis: Who are the experts as well. So my point is, there are experts out there.

223
00:36:05.450 --> 00:36:22.440
Amanda Davis: but you still got to have a lead, and I think we've got to retain the lead on this because our focus is parish and town councils. So it's like any matrix we're deciding which route to go down, but we've got to bump into lots of experts along the way.

224
00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:28.400
tristram cary: Amanda. I don't know if it's just me, but I find you very difficult to hear you. You've turned into a dalek.

225
00:36:29.700 --> 00:36:31.429
Jacky Lawrence: Lots of echo. Yes.

226
00:36:32.260 --> 00:36:35.540
Amanda Davis: Right? Okay, you're not the 1st person for that.

227
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:39.170
Andrew Maliphant: I'm glad I haven't said that. Yeah.

228
00:36:39.170 --> 00:36:43.180
Amanda Davis: I might have more than one zoom open, perhaps.

229
00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:44.150
Andrew Maliphant: And

230
00:36:44.300 --> 00:36:45.200
Andrew Maliphant: yes, it

231
00:36:45.600 --> 00:36:46.689
Andrew Maliphant: say I'm doing.

232
00:36:47.013 --> 00:36:47.660
Jacky Lawrence: Was neat.

233
00:36:47.660 --> 00:36:48.946
Andrew Maliphant: Exterminate, sorry.

234
00:36:49.590 --> 00:36:56.349
Jacky Lawrence: For for community experts. Our Parish Council got this working group working party. They're called.

235
00:36:56.620 --> 00:37:00.590
Jacky Lawrence: And so they put a call out to people in the community

236
00:37:01.069 --> 00:37:13.649
Jacky Lawrence: for people that wanted to get involved in the climate and environment working party. So we chaired by a parish councillor. There is the project clerk from the Parish Council. There is an X

237
00:37:14.010 --> 00:37:17.929
Jacky Lawrence: chair of the Parish Council, and every there are. The other 3 of us

238
00:37:18.060 --> 00:37:20.610
Jacky Lawrence: are just members of the public.

239
00:37:20.630 --> 00:37:28.009
Jacky Lawrence: And so everybody that applied to join this needed to show that they'd got some sort of expertise in a particular area.

240
00:37:28.020 --> 00:37:29.100
Andrew Maliphant: Okay? Bye.

241
00:37:29.100 --> 00:37:51.420
Jacky Lawrence: So one person sort of like works in transport, but's got particular interest in community orchards and cycling and active travel. I've got a particular interest in energy. And the other person is an an architect. So is interested in buildings and thermal imaging and that sort of thing.

242
00:37:51.450 --> 00:38:00.540
Jacky Lawrence: So we've got a working party that helps and supports the Parish Council in doing climate and environment, things.

243
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.780
Andrew Maliphant: Right. Thank you, David.

244
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:08.549
David Morgan-Jones: It's 1 between about between.

245
00:38:08.570 --> 00:38:09.550
Amanda Davis: Like cope.

246
00:38:09.890 --> 00:38:12.090
David Morgan-Jones: I've have. I got an echo as well.

247
00:38:12.090 --> 00:38:13.319
Andrew Maliphant: Nearly did. Yeah.

248
00:38:14.540 --> 00:38:15.770
David Morgan-Jones: I wonder what's going on?

249
00:38:17.240 --> 00:38:17.979
David Morgan-Jones: A.

250
00:38:18.300 --> 00:38:26.049
David Morgan-Jones: I've got a question for both Tristram and also you, Andrew. It's more a question of how do we use technology

251
00:38:27.940 --> 00:38:31.780
David Morgan-Jones: to do web based technology to create links

252
00:38:31.950 --> 00:38:35.880
David Morgan-Jones: between all these various initiatives.

253
00:38:36.170 --> 00:38:39.960
David Morgan-Jones: to provide a much more coherent overview.

254
00:38:40.120 --> 00:38:47.630
David Morgan-Jones: What? What is available. I mean, what really struck me was the presentation on

255
00:38:48.685 --> 00:38:53.210
David Morgan-Jones: community buying and generation of electricity, for example.

256
00:38:53.470 --> 00:38:54.220
Andrew Maliphant: Yep. Yeah.

257
00:38:54.516 --> 00:39:03.413
David Morgan-Jones: Then the the one that unfortunately I missed, which was to do with I think, was last week's which I really wanted to to to listen, but couldn't make

258
00:39:04.890 --> 00:39:08.118
David Morgan-Jones: So sort of combining all these ideas.

259
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:16.810
David Morgan-Jones: would it be okay if I just shared a couple of slides with you, cause I think it might be slightly easy if you perhaps saw where I was trying to come from.

260
00:39:16.810 --> 00:39:23.140
Andrew Maliphant: Sure. No making links to other users is very much part of our plan as well. We're not trying to rewrite everything. No.

261
00:39:23.140 --> 00:39:25.079
tristram cary: But everybody's turned into a dollar.

262
00:39:26.310 --> 00:39:27.750
Andrew Maliphant: I I think we'll put.

263
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:33.420
Jacky Lawrence: I think, when everybody's not on mute, we hear everybody else's words.

264
00:39:35.650 --> 00:39:38.149
David Morgan-Jones: Can you? Can you see that

265
00:39:38.290 --> 00:39:39.450
David Morgan-Jones: that screen?

266
00:39:39.720 --> 00:39:40.320
David Morgan-Jones: Yep.

267
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:41.320
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah, because that.

268
00:39:41.550 --> 00:39:57.530
David Morgan-Jones: Okay. Sorry. This is actually doing a bit of a helicopter view. So and there's a few slides I need to just bring in to sort of provide a logic to, to the, to the thoughts we're having, and why? I think that what we're doing is so vitally important.

269
00:39:59.140 --> 00:40:15.071
David Morgan-Jones: so for heart. What we've we've agreed is that we need to identify what our target figure is, so that we we've got a hands around something as opposed to a nebulous we've got to reduce to 0. We need to start from somewhere.

270
00:40:16.370 --> 00:40:18.663
David Morgan-Jones: Now. Hampshire

271
00:40:20.330 --> 00:40:25.140
David Morgan-Jones: have identified the key major areas where

272
00:40:25.600 --> 00:40:40.830
David Morgan-Jones: we have carbon emissions. So you can see from the slide there. Transport is is the biggest by far. And, in fact, when we drill into hot. It actually goes up to about 50% of the Co. 2 in the district is from transport.

273
00:40:41.990 --> 00:40:49.052
David Morgan-Jones: The next big area is domestic generation, and then you can see on the slide where the rest of it comes from.

274
00:40:49.830 --> 00:40:50.580
David Morgan-Jones: So

275
00:40:52.700 --> 00:40:58.290
David Morgan-Jones: The best way to eat an elephant is in small bite sized chunks is the classic sort of thing.

276
00:40:58.877 --> 00:41:00.159
David Morgan-Jones: or or say

277
00:41:00.649 --> 00:41:08.170
David Morgan-Jones: unless, of course, you're a vegan like one of the offices in the Hampshire doesn't like be using that phrase. But there we go. Yes.

278
00:41:08.170 --> 00:41:10.370
Andrew Maliphant: Why we moved to navigating the jungle. David.

279
00:41:10.370 --> 00:41:16.730
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah. Yeah. So sorry, Amanda, were you just wanted to question something on on that slide?

280
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:30.910
Amanda Davis: Yeah, I did the unmute. Yeah. 1st of all, can I check? Are you talking about it from the District Council perspective?

281
00:41:30.910 --> 00:41:31.620
David Morgan-Jones: Yes.

282
00:41:31.970 --> 00:41:38.237
Amanda Davis: Okay? So that's 1 difference. Whereas with Paris and Town Council perspectives.

283
00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:40.850
David Morgan-Jones: I'll come. I'll come to that in a second.

284
00:41:40.850 --> 00:41:51.500
Amanda Davis: I wasn't challenging you. I just wanted to understand what you were showing us. And then can you tell me whether you're within a possible national landscape or not.

285
00:41:51.680 --> 00:41:52.889
David Morgan-Jones: Haven't got a clue.

286
00:41:52.890 --> 00:41:57.970
Amanda Davis: Okay? So then, the next question is, food and drink.

287
00:41:58.710 --> 00:42:01.189
Amanda Davis: Did you have Google drink in this.

288
00:42:01.190 --> 00:42:13.479
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah, the the when you look in that, when you unpacked household, it's split into a whole bunch of different components which food and drink. There's a whole bunch of stuff that makes this up.

289
00:42:13.773 --> 00:42:18.469
Amanda Davis: Okay, thank you. I understand. It's a lot better now. That's really helpful. Thank you.

290
00:42:19.038 --> 00:42:33.000
David Morgan-Jones: This is still quite crude, and we need to do a lot more work to to zone in on where the big contributors are particularly for the district, and then we need to do it if we can.

291
00:42:33.180 --> 00:42:41.410
David Morgan-Jones: down at each parish. So each parish has its own sort of understanding where where it's its CO. 2 is coming from

292
00:42:42.310 --> 00:42:42.990
David Morgan-Jones: now.

293
00:42:43.710 --> 00:42:47.730
David Morgan-Jones: in the military there is a technique called campaign planning.

294
00:42:48.140 --> 00:42:57.670
David Morgan-Jones: It's a bit like a very. It tries to simplify project planning and make it in in so slightly more understandable

295
00:42:57.680 --> 00:43:07.009
David Morgan-Jones: way of actually taking some really complex, challenging ideas and putting them to in a way that people can understand it. So

296
00:43:08.300 --> 00:43:11.080
David Morgan-Jones: can you see that chart?

297
00:43:11.890 --> 00:43:12.680
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah.

298
00:43:12.870 --> 00:43:22.129
David Morgan-Jones: So what we've got here is is a vague timeline, and we've kept it very vague because we need to do a lot more work to understand what we're trying to do.

299
00:43:22.150 --> 00:43:33.679
David Morgan-Jones: So we're at the moment here with 4, 436 kilotons. CO. 2. We want to try and get down to 0 whatever 0 means. And then we've got 2.

300
00:43:34.490 --> 00:43:41.830
David Morgan-Jones: Do that in a way in which the Council can cope with it, and the Parish councils can cope with it, because we can't do everything at once.

301
00:43:43.430 --> 00:43:45.550
David Morgan-Jones: and there is a

302
00:43:46.720 --> 00:43:56.620
David Morgan-Jones: a a planning process which basically means that you try and understand the problem first.st And I think what the great collaboration does is really, really helps with that.

303
00:43:56.810 --> 00:43:59.120
David Morgan-Jones: So you need to really understand the problem.

304
00:43:59.520 --> 00:44:03.770
David Morgan-Jones: then you need to define what you're going to do to solve that problem.

305
00:44:04.020 --> 00:44:05.900
David Morgan-Jones: And then you need to execute

306
00:44:06.300 --> 00:44:09.800
David Morgan-Jones: whether it's a strategic plan or a plan in order to get stuff done.

307
00:44:10.630 --> 00:44:14.850
David Morgan-Jones: So the symbols here are basically we've got to understand.

308
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:16.870
David Morgan-Jones: We've then got a plan.

309
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:24.030
David Morgan-Jones: and then we've got to execute. And then we've got a monitor, so that whatever we're doing actually shows that we're doing something useful

310
00:44:24.910 --> 00:44:29.940
David Morgan-Jones: now, where the great collaboration really really is helpful is

311
00:44:31.070 --> 00:44:33.453
David Morgan-Jones: is in the understand bit

312
00:44:34.120 --> 00:44:34.830
David Morgan-Jones: good.

313
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:35.760
David Morgan-Jones: And

314
00:44:36.140 --> 00:44:37.045
David Morgan-Jones: what

315
00:44:38.010 --> 00:44:41.830
David Morgan-Jones: what we're missing is the all the interlinks.

316
00:44:42.220 --> 00:44:43.859
David Morgan-Jones: So, for example.

317
00:44:44.680 --> 00:44:45.820
David Morgan-Jones: when we

318
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:51.709
David Morgan-Jones: we were looking, so we just, I'll just cover off quickly the sort of the the thing. So we've got public sector.

319
00:44:52.020 --> 00:44:57.159
David Morgan-Jones: and the reason we put that the top is because hearts are already doing a huge amount to try and resolve that now

320
00:44:57.980 --> 00:45:10.419
David Morgan-Jones: we then thought the easiest want to tackle and to get our teeth into it is the domestic, because there's lots of stuff we can do, particularly at Parish council level to start to do that.

321
00:45:10.780 --> 00:45:18.350
David Morgan-Jones: Then there is transport of which we have a proportion which we can control at district, and there's a lot that has to be done nationally.

322
00:45:18.810 --> 00:45:22.529
David Morgan-Jones: Then there's the industrial and commercial and agriculture, and as

323
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:30.939
David Morgan-Jones: district, and then pass councils, there are bits we have responsibility for, and there are bits we don't. So, for example, all the schools.

324
00:45:31.538 --> 00:45:39.789
David Morgan-Jones: and some of the public buildings like that is is a County Council issue, not a parish, or a town or

325
00:45:39.810 --> 00:45:40.940
David Morgan-Jones: district

326
00:45:42.595 --> 00:45:47.290
David Morgan-Jones: and then there are starting to be as we begin to think this through

327
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:51.839
David Morgan-Jones: one of the things that we you identify is that

328
00:45:52.290 --> 00:46:04.969
David Morgan-Jones: if you want to start doing some of this stuff, one of the things you're gonna have to access is electricity. So if we want to reduce our CO, 2 footprint by removing boilers. So we need to put in more

329
00:46:07.620 --> 00:46:19.240
David Morgan-Jones: sals, heat pumps, sals, heat pumps need electricity to function. So how do we generate more electricity without actually you know, really hammering the grid

330
00:46:19.701 --> 00:46:29.890
David Morgan-Jones: and that's that wonderful presentation that was given a couple of weeks ago. Where we got that company that came in to do the generation local generation electricity?

331
00:46:31.375 --> 00:46:32.120
David Morgan-Jones: So.

332
00:46:32.190 --> 00:46:39.440
David Morgan-Jones: And then you've got the whole biodiversity component, which is about greening increasing sequestration of CO. 2,

333
00:46:39.510 --> 00:46:43.470
David Morgan-Jones: which becomes part of a wider net 0 plan.

334
00:46:43.980 --> 00:46:48.850
David Morgan-Jones: But there are lots of wider interconnections, both legitimately

335
00:46:48.870 --> 00:46:50.722
David Morgan-Jones: and from local

336
00:46:52.227 --> 00:47:15.189
David Morgan-Jones: sort of activities. And I've only put a couple down there. There are loads, and we need to do some more work to work at this biodiversity, policy and and and legislation, this tree strategy that that Hampshire done. There's a whole bunch of other stuff that we need to stitch into this, because what we mustn't try and do is try and do things in isolation. They will need to be seen as part of an interconnected jigsaw puzzle

337
00:47:15.210 --> 00:47:17.340
David Morgan-Jones: that we're all trying to pull together.

338
00:47:18.073 --> 00:47:20.550
David Morgan-Jones: And then, of course, there are resources.

339
00:47:20.710 --> 00:47:26.900
David Morgan-Jones: And this is where your bit on banking, for example, and funding potential funding became so hugely helpful.

340
00:47:28.939 --> 00:47:29.659
David Morgan-Jones: because

341
00:47:30.600 --> 00:47:35.017
David Morgan-Jones: one of the bits we were going to do didn't quite have time to do. We were going to

342
00:47:35.830 --> 00:47:38.030
David Morgan-Jones: war game through.

343
00:47:38.765 --> 00:47:47.590
David Morgan-Jones: The issue which I'll go on to the next one, which is a much more detailed one about moving into the domestic CO, 2 component. And so, looking at the sap.

344
00:47:50.950 --> 00:47:57.559
David Morgan-Jones: schools! And how we can improve our understanding of what our sap scores are across each parish.

345
00:47:58.922 --> 00:48:06.100
David Morgan-Jones: And Tristan's team on the parish online. I mean, they're they're the ability to see

346
00:48:06.300 --> 00:48:17.305
David Morgan-Jones: the sap score of each house and rather depressingly we looked at our parish and found that we didn't have a lot of sap schools because people be living those houses for so long.

347
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:23.740
David Morgan-Jones: so the next question is, is, how the hell do we get everybody to get an updated sap score of their house?

348
00:48:24.010 --> 00:48:29.799
David Morgan-Jones: And so you then find, think? Well, if I'm not gonna sell my property, why should I pay for a sap school?

349
00:48:31.066 --> 00:48:41.890
David Morgan-Jones: You might think well, I might do a sap school because I'm really keen. And I'm really want to contribute to this program. But a lot of people are gonna go around and go. No, it's cost too much, not gonna do it.

350
00:48:41.920 --> 00:48:46.920
David Morgan-Jones: So then how do you actually pull in funding to do the sap schools?

351
00:48:46.950 --> 00:48:51.440
David Morgan-Jones: And then, okay, you've identified. There are problems. There are things that they could do.

352
00:48:51.750 --> 00:48:56.220
David Morgan-Jones: How do you encourage them to then do them? Particularly if it's going to cost them money?

353
00:48:56.680 --> 00:49:07.640
David Morgan-Jones: So there's a whole bunch of stuff there, and having that sort of funding model. And and and put looking at how how we fund this becomes really, really, really important.

354
00:49:09.720 --> 00:49:11.810
David Morgan-Jones: so I think

355
00:49:12.500 --> 00:49:15.500
David Morgan-Jones: what I'm after. And I'm sorry. It's a slightly long

356
00:49:16.001 --> 00:49:20.329
David Morgan-Jones: explanation is as we go through each of the

357
00:49:21.870 --> 00:49:24.919
David Morgan-Jones: understand phases, what we need to do is

358
00:49:25.050 --> 00:49:27.989
David Morgan-Jones: get hold of that information that you've got.

359
00:49:28.865 --> 00:49:29.260
David Morgan-Jones: and

360
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:50.240
David Morgan-Jones: begin to start to tie it in to various components. So when we're looking at at sort of like local power electricity, I mean the ability to then link directly into that initiative coming off. I can't remember whether it was Essex or Kent, or wherever it was to be able to tie into that, and then grab hold of that

361
00:49:50.703 --> 00:50:03.046
David Morgan-Jones: and to to to then be able to pull that in and work out how we're going to exploit that to then drive some of the the energy generation components at A at a

362
00:50:03.420 --> 00:50:22.400
David Morgan-Jones: parish district county level doesn't really matter. So there's a whole bunch of stuff that's about, how do we tile this information in so that we can then start pushing down these particular routes in order to improve, to, to, to to achieve that target. Sorry, Tristan. I'll shut up now.

363
00:50:23.702 --> 00:50:30.890
Andrew Maliphant: No, th. That's a pretty expose of the of the things that we we need to produce and and bring together. Trish!

364
00:50:30.890 --> 00:50:33.193
tristram cary: Yeah, sure it is. I just wanted to say,

365
00:50:33.540 --> 00:50:40.929
tristram cary: David, that you've you said that the great collaboration has been enormously helpful in understanding the problem, your 1st blue bubble.

366
00:50:40.960 --> 00:50:45.640
tristram cary: but it I think it should also be extremely important for the next one of creating a plan.

367
00:50:45.994 --> 00:50:51.290
David Morgan-Jones: Well, if we could, if we could. Yeah, I completely agree with you, Tristan. If we can generate

368
00:50:51.390 --> 00:50:59.769
David Morgan-Jones: a set of plans which then could be taken off, the shelf, dusted and tweaked to meet individual towns and parishes.

369
00:51:00.060 --> 00:51:02.260
David Morgan-Jones: Then, if that saves

370
00:51:02.390 --> 00:51:07.050
David Morgan-Jones: 80% of the intellectual activity that needs to be undertaken.

371
00:51:07.110 --> 00:51:15.900
David Morgan-Jones: then brilliant, or if we convert them into task lists, or or a set of sort of tasks that can be be undertaken

372
00:51:16.590 --> 00:51:20.439
David Morgan-Jones: as as we evolve, that'd be superb. And if we could use

373
00:51:20.520 --> 00:51:23.440
David Morgan-Jones: the great collaboration as a way of

374
00:51:24.670 --> 00:51:26.389
David Morgan-Jones: documenting it.

375
00:51:27.366 --> 00:51:29.600
David Morgan-Jones: putting it into the website

376
00:51:29.730 --> 00:51:40.250
David Morgan-Jones: updating, as we understand how to do things better, and we learn how to nuance it, because you know a town, and might be very different to a rural parish.

377
00:51:40.874 --> 00:51:44.769
David Morgan-Jones: Or we add the flavors depending on which which one you are.

378
00:51:44.900 --> 00:51:47.770
David Morgan-Jones: So yeah, no, Tristan, absolutely.

379
00:51:47.770 --> 00:52:02.877
tristram cary: And I. I just wanted to develop that theme a bit. Because I another thing that strikes me about the Wednesday sessions we've had is that there? There they are of 2 very different sorts. There is. There are some things like community energy generation which David was talking about.

380
00:52:03.320 --> 00:52:15.910
tristram cary: Alex Templeton Csco. Company, you know. That's a sort of very, very major thing that will make a massive contribution if we can start to get community energy projects that are funded by a 3rd party.

381
00:52:16.250 --> 00:52:26.809
tristram cary: and everybody in the parish can join in. Which is what Alex is Amy at, you know that's that's a huge bit. And then there are other presentations we've had which are

382
00:52:26.900 --> 00:52:44.199
tristram cary: very much, very much. They're very different. They're more personal. 20 is plenty is a sort of good example. It's it's a great thing, but it's not. It's that's not itself a sort of top level initiative that that every council is going to have to tackle. And what I would like to suggest is that we we, if we identify the

383
00:52:44.340 --> 00:52:50.289
tristram cary: key things that we need to concentrate, on, which, which is, are things like home insulation.

384
00:52:50.900 --> 00:53:17.930
tristram cary: community energy. So you've insulated the houses. You then got to produce clean energy, and then woodland planning and house construction. And by the way home construction is another thing. We're going to have to add, David, I think, to these lists, because I think every council is going to have increased housing, and we've got to make that housing as green as we can and have standard building standards that make sure that what we're doing is not going to contribute further to the problem.

385
00:53:18.620 --> 00:53:34.770
tristram cary: And what I'd like to suggest is that if we could identify these top level strands and they're probably 10 of them at the very top level. We we should then engage the the public sector body responsible for that. So for for you know, for clean it for well, for domestic

386
00:53:34.770 --> 00:53:51.830
tristram cary: insulation is, I don't know who it is, actually, but for green energy, you know, this is the Department of Energy, and I think we should we should use the power we've got with the great collaboration and our links to so many parishes and districts to put together a sort of plan to say, we want to develop

387
00:53:51.940 --> 00:53:56.289
tristram cary: a methodology for this this process.

388
00:53:56.580 --> 00:54:09.040
tristram cary: and we want your support and probably your financial support, because all the government departments have budgets to help with these things, and I think we should be if we're very directed. And we say we've got we've got the great collaboration we've got the

389
00:54:09.341 --> 00:54:31.990
tristram cary: we can. We can produce, you know, parish volunteers or groups of volunteers to trial stuff. We've got a requirement which is underwritten by nalk, and the the society of local council clerks. So we're sort of taking a very central position in something which at the moment is very amorphous. And there's a just a massive waste of energy going on, a waste of money going on with everybody, trying to reinvent the wheel.

390
00:54:31.990 --> 00:54:32.930
David Morgan-Jones: Oh, absolutely!

391
00:54:32.930 --> 00:54:48.660
tristram cary: I think we should. We should really take this great collaboration to do that, and to have a much more structured way. To say, this is the problem we're trying to solve. We want your support Defra, or whoever it is, department of Energy. And here's what we want to do and give us money.

392
00:54:48.660 --> 00:54:49.510
David Morgan-Jones: I think the other thing.

393
00:54:49.510 --> 00:54:51.920
tristram cary: Domestic develop. The methodology, too.

394
00:54:52.070 --> 00:54:54.190
David Morgan-Jones: I think the other thing Tristram is

395
00:54:55.300 --> 00:54:59.639
David Morgan-Jones: is is creating. I don't know whether it's possible to do this, Andrew, but

396
00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:06.040
David Morgan-Jones: subject matter, app subject matter, expert groups.

397
00:55:06.710 --> 00:55:07.080
Andrew Maliphant: Yep.

398
00:55:07.080 --> 00:55:13.049
David Morgan-Jones: So, for example, if we wanted to, as a parish, look at.

399
00:55:13.130 --> 00:55:15.589
David Morgan-Jones: Sorry, not as a parish as a district.

400
00:55:16.133 --> 00:55:20.066
David Morgan-Jones: Maybe even a county level. Look at how to enhance

401
00:55:20.510 --> 00:55:22.330
David Morgan-Jones: energy generation.

402
00:55:23.110 --> 00:55:27.140
David Morgan-Jones: What we need is is a group of people who can come together

403
00:55:27.250 --> 00:55:28.679
David Morgan-Jones: to talk about

404
00:55:29.040 --> 00:55:39.949
David Morgan-Jones: the different forms of generation, so that might be solar. It might be wind. If you've got that, it might be hydro, it might be microheat and power using waste

405
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:46.289
David Morgan-Jones: burning waste. It might be micro nuclear or mini nuclear doesn't really matter.

406
00:55:46.625 --> 00:56:09.059
David Morgan-Jones: And then how do you store that energy? So community storage systems? So that when we're like today or particularly yesterday, we were generating huge amounts of solar energy, but most of it would have been wasted into that. Well would not waste it, but have dissipated into the grid and so it's that sort of thing that when we starting to think about that, and then align.

407
00:56:10.435 --> 00:56:11.190
David Morgan-Jones: Budgets!

408
00:56:11.962 --> 00:56:19.150
David Morgan-Jones: Because we're talking 5, 10 year planning cycles here for this type of activity. We have the Smes that will help

409
00:56:19.360 --> 00:56:22.120
David Morgan-Jones: shape the thinking and the planning.

410
00:56:22.330 --> 00:56:23.690
David Morgan-Jones: so that

411
00:56:24.020 --> 00:56:36.949
David Morgan-Jones: we are getting the best of the best. And again, as as Tristan alluded to earlier, we're not constantly reinventing wheels in our own little biospheres. Which is what we have a tendency to do.

412
00:56:37.630 --> 00:56:39.934
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah. Anyway, I'll close my my thing down.

413
00:56:40.510 --> 00:56:40.870
Andrew Maliphant: Thank you.

414
00:56:40.870 --> 00:56:41.759
David Morgan-Jones: Very much over there.

415
00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:46.710
Andrew Maliphant: If you could send over that presentation. If you're able to do that, David, that would be brilliant to capture some of those slides that would be fantastic.

416
00:56:46.710 --> 00:56:48.959
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. No. Problem.

417
00:56:48.960 --> 00:57:02.829
Andrew Maliphant: Yes, and you're you're talking yourself into some regular regular working with this, I'm afraid. So there you go. We will. Yeah, we will be in touch. Amanda. I I'm so pleased we're having this session because we've had so many great ideas, so much feedback already. Amanda.

418
00:57:05.123 --> 00:57:12.956
Amanda Davis: Yeah, thank you. David, are you? Are you authoring so that way you can take construct to the criticism.

419
00:57:13.330 --> 00:57:14.200
David Morgan-Jones: Course. Yeah. No.

420
00:57:14.200 --> 00:57:17.800
Amanda Davis: Called me to account for it. In a sense.

421
00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:18.530
David Morgan-Jones: No! No! This.

422
00:57:18.530 --> 00:57:19.520
Amanda Davis: Just, this is.

423
00:57:19.520 --> 00:57:20.569
David Morgan-Jones: This is very.

424
00:57:20.570 --> 00:57:33.909
Amanda Davis: So the subject, not of you and your work. But I really do want to say that. I couldn't help but feel that with the different hats I wear. I come to this with the parishioner Council hat

425
00:57:34.210 --> 00:57:54.480
Amanda Davis: as a councillor and as a clock. I I often get invited to the District Council or bigger strategic issues. I'm a politically economist and sort of national infrastructure project, professional, but I often feel gossip as a parishion town Council

426
00:57:54.510 --> 00:58:00.669
Amanda Davis: person with that hassle, but others are telling me what to do, how to do it or taking over.

427
00:58:00.770 --> 00:58:11.150
Amanda Davis: and I very much feel that what great collaborations done for me is to empower me, and a passion to have council level, to say to the others, actually.

428
00:58:11.470 --> 00:58:25.960
Amanda Davis: for once I feel in control, I feel empowered. I feel invited, and we're in drancy. Thank you very much, and we've done a whole lot of work to do. I think what your

429
00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:35.142
Amanda Davis: your slide shows us is a nice, neat summary of exactly what you said about. Let's not

430
00:58:36.700 --> 00:58:49.300
Amanda Davis: Let's not duplicate the the intellectual efforts, and maybe even go as far as we invest in a lot of cool things. That's really an efficient way of using public resources.

431
00:58:49.678 --> 00:59:13.309
Amanda Davis: And I fully agree that it's always nice to understand a strategic tent, if you like, or jungle order that we're operating in our parish and town council level. But I guess I just wanted to bring the conversation back a little to the you know. What have we got a lot of? We've got playgrounds. We've got cemeteries. We've got allotments. We've sometimes got buildings.

432
00:59:13.490 --> 00:59:15.639
Amanda Davis: We've certainly got people

433
00:59:15.850 --> 00:59:31.440
Amanda Davis: who've got their own houses and etc. And I'm just kind of bringing it down from that overarching strategic level that I normally deal with in my professional world to the parish in Town Council, very local level, that a lot of people run away when they're here.

434
00:59:31.470 --> 00:59:53.320
Amanda Davis: those big strategic issues, because it's just too big. And we can't make a difference. And I think what great collaboration does is show us the little things so that we can make a big, big difference with. Because I think you make the point about how you beat the elephant. Yeah. And we quickly turn into the jungle. So my point about the elephant to use that analogy is that

435
00:59:53.410 --> 00:59:57.270
Amanda Davis: I think some people in our parish attacks at the sphere

436
00:59:57.300 --> 01:00:04.739
Amanda Davis: do. I have experience at affinity bulletin. We disbanded our environment working group because

437
01:00:04.860 --> 01:00:06.140
Amanda Davis: basically

438
01:00:06.300 --> 01:00:19.799
Amanda Davis: we wanted to do a lot of things. But there was nobody to do it, and we ran out of 2 min, and we just never got around to the next meeting, so it was easy to just expand it because we weren't quite ready. And I think that's taking on too much.

439
01:00:19.810 --> 01:00:33.089
Amanda Davis: And what we really need to do is focus in on the one or 2 little steps and then start to build a movement at grass roots level among those that don't even know where to start, and.

440
01:00:33.360 --> 01:00:34.980
David Morgan-Jones: Amanda, can I just come back?

441
01:00:35.250 --> 01:00:37.634
Amanda Davis: Oh, she'll be glad.

442
01:00:38.230 --> 01:00:49.075
David Morgan-Jones: No, no, no, no, just give a bit of background. Tristan and I have been joining. We're both parish counselors. So we? We look at

443
01:00:49.820 --> 01:00:53.020
David Morgan-Jones: We both went to Hart District Council

444
01:00:53.540 --> 01:00:54.530
David Morgan-Jones: 2

445
01:00:54.780 --> 01:00:59.369
David Morgan-Jones: story engage in this program, and they, too, are fully aware

446
01:00:59.620 --> 01:01:02.180
David Morgan-Jones: that they want to try and

447
01:01:02.210 --> 01:01:03.760
David Morgan-Jones: engage

448
01:01:03.820 --> 01:01:05.989
David Morgan-Jones: the parishes as equal partners.

449
01:01:06.370 --> 01:01:11.719
David Morgan-Jones: So, but to be honest with you, it would just became it was a model

450
01:01:12.060 --> 01:01:20.070
David Morgan-Jones: they hadn't. There was no structural function and a lot. And what's happened now is that actually, it'll probably be just Tristan I turning up

451
01:01:20.449 --> 01:01:26.320
David Morgan-Jones: because everybody's got utterly bored and they don't, and rather like you said they don't know where to start.

452
01:01:26.450 --> 01:01:30.559
David Morgan-Jones: So what we're trying to do is

453
01:01:30.680 --> 01:01:32.460
David Morgan-Jones: come up with a structure.

454
01:01:32.600 --> 01:01:36.920
David Morgan-Jones: and then the next workshop will be with the parish councillors

455
01:01:37.140 --> 01:01:47.239
David Morgan-Jones: to work out what it is we can do and what we want to do, what we well, what we can do. And how do we engage in this at a at a parish level?

456
01:01:47.450 --> 01:01:51.919
David Morgan-Jones: So there's a lot of work to be done to unpack this down to the next level.

457
01:01:52.542 --> 01:02:01.559
David Morgan-Jones: And it's very much a collaborative process, because there is just no way that the District Council can. Actually, you know, we've got

458
01:02:01.640 --> 01:02:08.320
David Morgan-Jones: one and a half people working on a program that an industry would take probably several 100

459
01:02:09.004 --> 01:02:14.109
David Morgan-Jones: to deliver a project of this complexity. Size? And so

460
01:02:14.160 --> 01:02:18.950
David Morgan-Jones: no, this is just the beginning of a journey which we need to shape and develop

461
01:02:19.110 --> 01:02:21.249
David Morgan-Jones: so absolutely. Get where you're coming from.

462
01:02:21.550 --> 01:02:38.139
tristram cary: Sorry. Can I also just jump in? I'm so sorry, Stuart and Jackie, but I think I think it's I was very frustrated as a parish council that we weren't getting support from the District Council, for instance. They've got an ecology officer, and they're building a trees plan, but they wouldn't. They wouldn't tell us, I said, why aren't we working together?

463
01:02:38.270 --> 01:02:50.619
tristram cary: And I think with the district is also becoming aware that if it wants to engage with communities. It needs to work through the parishes. So I think we're getting a much better understanding of how to stop that being obstructive and make it collaborative.

464
01:02:50.870 --> 01:03:03.010
Amanda Davis: I think I'm probably coming from a political geography where, because of the funding was restricted at districts and charity levels in terms of always reaching the cap and beyond

465
01:03:03.413 --> 01:03:19.120
Amanda Davis: with the council tax, and it was always parish. Now, councils, you're gonna do more. You're gonna do it this way. You're gonna fund it, you know. So I think that's the context of me expressing what I was expressing.

466
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:38.479
Amanda Davis: And may I also just get permission, please, to list a whole series of things going right back to ground level for now to list a series of suggestions for the topics or the next answer session. Can I just pop them into the chat in case I need to leave before the end.

467
01:03:38.480 --> 01:03:40.330
Andrew Maliphant: Put them in the chat, please, Amanda, thank you very much.

468
01:03:40.330 --> 01:03:53.339
Amanda Davis: As opposed to project manager, program, manager, and all that stuff they did. I thoroughly approval for the way that it's set out, and I love that, but that's not what you see.

469
01:03:53.340 --> 01:03:54.250
David Morgan-Jones: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

470
01:03:54.250 --> 01:03:57.339
Amanda Davis: I really appreciate what you've done there. Thank you very much.

471
01:03:57.510 --> 01:04:15.380
Andrew Maliphant: In our, in our regional pilot. We are looking at ways of not just the horizontal, like all horizontal links with connect parishes and communities, but also vertical up through the districts and counties as well. And we have got a team working on that. And certainly, David will get back to hopefully to share more thoughts on that.

472
01:04:16.350 --> 01:04:22.239
Stuart Withington: Hi, thanks. Really sorry I missed the talk bit of a medical emergency with mother-in-law.

473
01:04:22.240 --> 01:04:24.042
Andrew Maliphant: It. It wasn't. It wasn't a talk.

474
01:04:24.300 --> 01:04:24.790
Stuart Withington: This.

475
01:04:25.385 --> 01:04:26.575
Andrew Maliphant: Miss nothing.

476
01:04:27.523 --> 01:04:34.590
Stuart Withington: What? What whatever? I I think part of the problem that I'm experiencing is that there is no

477
01:04:34.780 --> 01:04:38.280
Stuart Withington: upfront funding for the Green Project.

478
01:04:38.380 --> 01:04:42.669
Stuart Withington: and I I realize that a lot of them don't require any funding

479
01:04:43.846 --> 01:04:46.830
Stuart Withington: but retrofitting houses.

480
01:04:46.950 --> 01:04:50.809
Stuart Withington: fitting solar panels, doing all the sort of bigger stuff

481
01:04:50.950 --> 01:04:55.940
Stuart Withington: which is actually going to make a difference to Co. 2.

482
01:04:55.950 --> 01:05:04.533
Stuart Withington: There's no funding for therefore the council, my council think well, we? We can't get involved.

483
01:05:05.760 --> 01:05:09.729
Stuart Withington: But just looking at the most recent figures I've got.

484
01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:13.279
Stuart Withington: Hampshire County Council has got a hundred and

485
01:05:13.520 --> 01:05:17.150
Stuart Withington: 36 million pounds invested in fossil fuels.

486
01:05:18.310 --> 01:05:24.087
Stuart Withington: surely. And I think that the new government has been hinting about this with

487
01:05:24.590 --> 01:05:26.860
Stuart Withington: local authority pension funds

488
01:05:27.291 --> 01:05:31.490
Stuart Withington: that these funds ought to be used in a different way

489
01:05:31.680 --> 01:05:35.259
Stuart Withington: that benefits the environment rather than trushing the environment.

490
01:05:35.360 --> 01:05:36.430
Stuart Withington: So

491
01:05:36.510 --> 01:05:39.070
Stuart Withington: could we be working towards

492
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:45.010
Stuart Withington: maybe getting some of the millions which, sitting in our pension funds.

493
01:05:45.040 --> 01:05:50.890
Stuart Withington: invested in the sort of green technologies locally.

494
01:05:51.470 --> 01:05:53.320
Stuart Withington: and I think most.

495
01:05:54.211 --> 01:06:03.590
Stuart Withington: Local authority pensions are governed by a local board which includes councillors from the County Council.

496
01:06:03.930 --> 01:06:09.560
Stuart Withington: and it's them that have delegated the authority to the pools, the

497
01:06:10.410 --> 01:06:21.269
Stuart Withington: many suits in the city, and this, that and the other. And I, I think we need to so try and wrestle back control of at least part of this to fund our ambitions.

498
01:06:21.490 --> 01:06:37.609
Andrew Maliphant: Right, I think what we've said all along is. And this is another great example of it. Stuart, is that as we're developing some of this practical stuff on the ground issues for campaigning will arise. This is one of them, isn't it? And so then it becomes a question of how that is pursued. So yeah.

499
01:06:37.610 --> 01:06:44.339
Stuart Withington: Yeah, and and green investments should ultimately make a a decent return.

500
01:06:44.820 --> 01:06:52.600
Andrew Maliphant: I'm speaking to people at Middlesex University on this issues of green finance. They've been working on it as well, and Alex Templeton, who came to talk

501
01:06:52.956 --> 01:07:05.029
Andrew Maliphant: on the the accounts, has has also got some some eyes in the fire there. So yeah, this, this whole issue of funding and better quality funding. Very much. So, yeah, thank you. Jacky.

502
01:07:05.610 --> 01:07:07.380
Andrew Maliphant: this is great. By the way.

503
01:07:07.380 --> 01:07:10.890
Jacky Lawrence: Following on from some of the things that David said made me think.

504
01:07:10.960 --> 01:07:20.809
Jacky Lawrence: Now you've met Bob Sherman. So it would just make me think if you're having like specialist talks, I don't think Bob could condense this into 15 min.

505
01:07:20.900 --> 01:07:25.080
Jacky Lawrence: But they started off with harbor energy initiative as a community group

506
01:07:25.270 --> 01:07:51.710
Jacky Lawrence: moved into an electric vehicle. Car Share Club moved into harbour e wheels and then had then. Now the the project they're working on at the moment is harbor future energy, and it will be a 7 kilowatt, vertical access, wind, turbine, 13 kilowatt, solar pv. Panel, a hundred 60 kilowatt battery, 22 charge points for people in the village that don't have off street parking for themselves.

507
01:07:51.710 --> 01:08:11.149
Jacky Lawrence: to raise money for harbour e wheels, which is electric vehicles taking people who can't drive anymore to medical appointments, etc. So it's transport. It's energy. It's community engagement. They started off as a community group, and they had to work to get the Parish Council to support them.

508
01:08:11.170 --> 01:08:37.919
Jacky Lawrence: and once they've got that support eventually they went for a royal rf, rural community energy funding stage one they got that which proved that it was a viable project. Then they got our Sef fund in Stage 2, which gave them the business plan, which then enabled the County Council to apply for a levy levy funding, and they've got nearly a million pounds to deliver this project now from the Government.

509
01:08:38.000 --> 01:08:44.370
Jacky Lawrence: So I just thought that, you know there's so many things he could talk about. Obviously I haven't asked him if he'd be willing.

510
01:08:45.319 --> 01:08:45.930
Andrew Maliphant: Good luck!

511
01:08:45.939 --> 01:08:47.479
Jacky Lawrence: But it's a suggestion.

512
01:08:47.479 --> 01:08:59.848
Andrew Maliphant: Sure I put harbor in brackets against the idea of the community group discussion, because what you've described sounds to me like something that started somewhere that this kept itself going. That's built, smoothed on, that's fine funding, and so forth.

513
01:09:00.149 --> 01:09:04.229
Jacky Lawrence: Community interest company now rather than just an ordinary community group.

514
01:09:04.229 --> 01:09:19.629
Andrew Maliphant: Yeah. So they've gone. They've been through quite a long journey, quite a a gamut of quite a number of different skills, initiatives and working together. Brilliant. Yes. So, okay, yeah. I I think I've I'm on the regular mailing list from from. I'll be on the I'll have it. Have a chat.

515
01:09:19.949 --> 01:09:26.369
Andrew Maliphant: Okay? Thanks again. Amanda for the items in the chat, which I'll we'll

516
01:09:26.839 --> 01:09:28.106
Andrew Maliphant: go on

517
01:09:29.759 --> 01:09:32.343
Andrew Maliphant: bookable bus service. Yep,

518
01:09:33.159 --> 01:09:34.489
Andrew Maliphant: And I cut

519
01:09:34.549 --> 01:09:51.179
Andrew Maliphant: the creation ongoing activity. Yes, I think what we've got at the moment. David, and everybody with great collaborations. We've got 3 working groups we've got 4 for include fundraising. One is about the technical side and the websites and development, and the It side.

520
01:09:51.179 --> 01:10:06.639
Andrew Maliphant: one is about the content, the guidance, putting things into each terms. And the 3rd one is about publicity and communication. And at the moment it seems in in terms of this whole agenda. The way you tell them is top of the list in terms of how we get information out

521
01:10:06.759 --> 01:10:31.509
Andrew Maliphant: and how we engage people. So that is another important area to take care of. We're applying in our lottery bid to cover all of these bases once that bid which has been getting. I've got a lot of feedback on that. That's my job this afternoon to rewrite it. Then we'll be looking again at other sources of funding for all the different elements. Trish you put your hand up.

522
01:10:32.440 --> 01:10:40.349
tristram cary: Yeah, can I? Just I've I think I'm repeating myself a bit. But in the content group I don't. I think it would be really good to identify

523
01:10:40.500 --> 01:10:42.369
tristram cary: in priority orders.

524
01:10:42.500 --> 01:10:56.189
tristram cary: in part over rather the areas where we do want a methodology and the guidance. And and we should maybe bid for funds for that specific thing rather than a general pot of money, which is what you're you're going for at the moment

525
01:10:56.430 --> 01:11:02.440
tristram cary: I think that would be really useful, and I just wanted to also say that in my list of things I added.

526
01:11:03.172 --> 01:11:04.740
tristram cary: building in timber.

527
01:11:04.900 --> 01:11:07.580
tristram cary: and there is, I don't know if you know. But there's a defra

528
01:11:08.995 --> 01:11:10.160
tristram cary: guidance

529
01:11:10.360 --> 01:11:30.590
tristram cary: saying that the government wants to increase the use of timber in construction because concrete is a massively carbon damaging thing to build in, and with new, with engineered wood. You can now make buildings that are tall and strong, and you can make timber as strong as steel and rock proof.

530
01:11:30.590 --> 01:11:49.350
tristram cary: and I don't think that's really understood. And as the housing target is going up to 370, 0 0 0 a year. If we could start to build in timber, it would sequester timber carbon rather, which is good. It would encourage woodland development to make working woods to develop panels.

531
01:11:49.350 --> 01:12:11.689
tristram cary: and I think it would be a very nice topic to to discuss, and that should be, you know, when when we come to David's plan, I think construction of new housing is going to be an important line with important climate implications. So I think we should have a way to encourage neighbourhood plans and and district and local plans to include the encouragement of timber construction.

532
01:12:12.070 --> 01:12:12.465
Andrew Maliphant: Okay.

533
01:12:13.160 --> 01:12:15.180
Andrew Maliphant: what? What? What? I've

534
01:12:16.400 --> 01:12:32.980
Andrew Maliphant: I I thought I should, for the great collaboration we should write to the new government ministers to get some points in with them. But also to make sure you know. Fly the flag for the Town Parish Council sector, which is Amanda's pointing out, can sometimes get

535
01:12:33.519 --> 01:12:37.800
Andrew Maliphant: marginalized is perhaps too strong a word, but it feels like it sometimes.

536
01:12:38.190 --> 01:12:43.323
Andrew Maliphant: so I I have written to Angela Gainer, Dana Angela Rayner.

537
01:12:43.840 --> 01:13:06.029
Andrew Maliphant: Oh dear! Oh dear! You could take the man out the seventies anyway. About I will survive. Yes, about planning policy. I've spoken. It ripped to Ed Miliband about energy and net 0. I have been on the government's local net. 0 Forum. I have no idea whether that's going to continue

538
01:13:06.345 --> 01:13:28.369
Andrew Maliphant: and we'll see how that goes. I've spoken to. I actually had a meeting with a couple of Defra officers this morning, which hopefully will give us some more links into the opposite side. But I wrote to these guys and I've written to Rachel Reeves as well. I've no idea whether I'll ever get any response from them. But at least we've got them on the on record. We said this, you send that and so forth.

539
01:13:28.697 --> 01:13:36.609
Andrew Maliphant: So I think that is another example of what you know, the the vertical approach we do need to link up to the Government where we can and how we do it.

540
01:13:36.810 --> 01:13:38.390
Andrew Maliphant: Amanda, you got your hand up.

541
01:13:39.040 --> 01:14:00.350
Amanda Davis: Thank you. Last. Was it last weekend? Possibly the weekend before the weekend before last Division Association? The Parish and Town Council had their agm, and they had the the chief officer from Nalk speaking, and we passed several motions which called on now to do things to lobby the government.

542
01:14:00.460 --> 01:14:29.070
Amanda Davis: It's around new homes, on large new developments around issues of estate management and watching the biodiversity net gain requirement as well doesn't just get pushed on to those homeowners who are having to pay for a State management company, so who may have no control, etc. And it's a secondary legislation that's required from the Leasehold and Freehold Act that went through on what day? The last day of the last Government

543
01:14:29.180 --> 01:14:48.290
Amanda Davis: and that got passed. So it's now going to the policy committee of Nalc to look again at that and strengthen their own policy that they passed. So then it would be the policy of Nalc. So it would be influencing all parish and town councils on guardians. So there's that one.

544
01:14:48.290 --> 01:15:03.829
Amanda Davis: It's also updates it in relation to the competition and market solidarity, finding which shows that the market is a massive, unequal marketplace, and the other needs are the largest strengthening and first-tier tribunals and other ways of.

545
01:15:03.830 --> 01:15:27.030
Amanda Davis: etc. But my point in raising that here is not about one of democracy and of regulation. It's more about how we manage our largest states and public open spaces. We haven't got direct control as councils, and then thinking about that, but thinking about flooding and attenuation policy.

546
01:15:27.090 --> 01:15:46.759
Amanda Davis: the Water Act, that you may or may not know in Wales that part of the Water Act was made live, that it said that no public call of attenuation funds, but the whole of the 3rd Citizen could not be in private ownership.

547
01:15:47.210 --> 01:16:08.729
Amanda Davis: So therefore, public ownership retains control and the responsibility for maintaining all of this flood protection if you like. But also it's the biodiversity. It's everything that goes around that space that looks after our ponds and our flood management and citizens. And in England that was never brought into force.

548
01:16:08.730 --> 01:16:17.670
Amanda Davis: So, although it's there in the act, it has not yet become the law in England, and if it was the case, and there are a whole load of state management companies

549
01:16:17.670 --> 01:16:39.550
Amanda Davis: that we no longer have those ponds in their control. And we're finding now that as the last 10 years we've had more and more of these ponds that were built, finding 10 years ago are functioning 5, 10 years ago are now failing to be maintained, are not functioning, and are causing, not flooding on the estate, but flooding in the rest of our Paritarian Council land

550
01:16:39.600 --> 01:16:49.189
Amanda Davis: and the homes, and we have 0 control over it that I've been banging on about the years and you know, loans surprise.

551
01:16:49.280 --> 01:16:59.299
Amanda Davis: We've actually got issues and we can't control it. So we passed that motion. It's very hotly contested, but it was passed on a 8 to 6 votes

552
01:16:59.800 --> 01:17:29.230
Amanda Davis: and corporate, which is really amazing, but it is now for now to look at, and whether its policy committee chooses or not, but to lobby the new government, to have the Water Act enacted in England to bring more control under public ownership. It's not so much about public ownership. It's about having more control, so that these parts are currently in private ownership

553
01:17:29.450 --> 01:17:48.120
Amanda Davis: cannot be left neglected and then end up either with notifiable. We've had plumbers, and instead of, you know, plants growing in the pond that then goes down through the drainage system and then contaminates a lot of areas that we don't have for the fun like Japanese can't weed. And this sort of thing

554
01:17:48.750 --> 01:17:55.779
Amanda Davis: and we've got no control over the source, because there's no way of reinforcing anything when you've got

555
01:17:56.470 --> 01:18:06.404
Amanda Davis: so I don't know whether that area, which is an area where I've been working on with an Rmp. With all sorts of other people. But that whole thing about how do we look at?

556
01:18:06.800 --> 01:18:12.590
Amanda Davis: It is an environment, it's diversity, it's planning law. It is everything that affects us.

557
01:18:13.216 --> 01:18:18.019
Amanda Davis: So I don't know whether that's something of interest as well, but certainly an update for us all.

558
01:18:18.240 --> 01:18:42.280
Andrew Maliphant: What I've what I've drafted is something about estate management brackets, public control. So I think that covers the point you're making as far as nalk is concerned, I imagine I'm not on the inside of nalk. I imagine that there will be re forging their campaigning and lobbying links with the new government as we speak. I know they have a spokeswoman in the House of Lords who has already been saying some

559
01:18:42.615 --> 01:18:50.320
Andrew Maliphant: important things. They do have on on the website a sort of manifesto link of the policies that they are seeking to

560
01:18:50.320 --> 01:19:01.180
Andrew Maliphant: promote and so we can be looking at those slcc on the other hasn't been very much of a policy organization before. It's been very much role

561
01:19:01.673 --> 01:19:07.880
Andrew Maliphant: there is that, but particularly perhaps through the climate side. There is some

562
01:19:07.940 --> 01:19:20.499
Andrew Maliphant: ways in which associates can add a bit of weight to the wheel. The there's going to be a new director of policy and External Services chap called Michael King, who's currently a town clerk at Whitby.

563
01:19:20.580 --> 01:19:37.530
Andrew Maliphant: in the in Yorkshire, and he's going to be in post at Soc. At the end of August. Maybe he'll be my boss. I have spoken to him so that there will be, and that person, I imagine, will also get a seat, because that was the past practice on the Nell Policy Committee. So there are ways.

564
01:19:37.530 --> 01:19:52.899
Andrew Maliphant: There are ways, and there are means. There are ways through with this. But I think what we've been talking about today generally is, what is the agenda? What are the issues, what are the approaches, the practical approaches to making a difference, partly in terms of planning, partly in terms of policy, but also in terms of action on the ground.

565
01:19:53.289 --> 01:20:08.779
Andrew Maliphant: And I think, actually, from from my perspective, this has been an enormously helpful and supportive session, because it's actually boosted all the things that we've been talking about doing, wanting to doing in the process of doing, and very much appears that they are still very valid.

566
01:20:08.990 --> 01:20:10.600
Andrew Maliphant: So that's great to have

567
01:20:11.301 --> 01:20:26.177
Andrew Maliphant: David, I will keep in. Get in touch through at some super point. About some of some of this stuff. And I think the only thing I know about campaigning planning was from the books of Jack Masters. But that's going back a bit. Yes, you know, I told him.

568
01:20:27.140 --> 01:20:31.520
Andrew Maliphant: in the regimental Museum of Gloucestershire. The which is sort of the

569
01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:51.758
Andrew Maliphant: sort of sort of partly the Rifles Magazine. They've got a button from one of John Narciss uniforms. No, it's a belt buckle, it's a belt buckle. So this is. This is you know, this was a a man of some stature and renown, and it's sufficiently well known that they probably put his belt buckle on display in in zoom. Okay, take nothing.

570
01:20:52.060 --> 01:20:52.669
tristram cary: I'm good. Yeah.

571
01:20:52.933 --> 01:21:05.590
Andrew Maliphant: Thanks so much for saying thanks, everybody, for all that links we've got a list, then of what in the next items that are coming up. I will circulate this around our collective list. There's quite a lot of us is over 400 of us.

572
01:21:06.030 --> 01:21:20.770
Andrew Maliphant: Some of them may be finding difficulty getting into this. So this may may not be even getting some of the regular information, because, we're doing it through email rather than Mailchimp at the moment. And some stuff may be ending up in

573
01:21:20.800 --> 01:21:33.820
Andrew Maliphant: in in various spam folders. So our plan is to get this more onto the thing about Mailchimp. Some of these other naming software is that it reduces the risk of that. Things being shoveled into spam.

574
01:21:34.060 --> 01:21:44.499
Andrew Maliphant: So we'll see how we doing that? Because, I mean, with 400 more people on the circulation list, we think we get more than you know, we if we we rarely get more than 30 people attending. I think so

575
01:21:45.630 --> 01:21:49.779
Andrew Maliphant: any more for any more. Thanks, Stuart, any more from you, David.

576
01:21:50.120 --> 01:21:51.000
David Morgan-Jones: Thank you.

577
01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:52.279
Andrew Maliphant: Amanda any more today.

578
01:21:52.280 --> 01:22:12.530
Amanda Davis: Yeah, just a big thank you. And well done. And like, you know, loads of positives, because to keep anything new, fresh and shiny going for 30 weeks, and with loads of enthusiasm growing for the future. You know big congratulations to everybody, big pats on the back and loads of please keep it going.

579
01:22:12.530 --> 01:22:20.253
Andrew Maliphant: Okay? Well, Pat Graham on the back when he returns. Yeah, possibly to pump the seawater out of his lungs. Jackie, hey? Any more from you.

580
01:22:20.740 --> 01:22:23.459
Jacky Lawrence: No, no, just thank you.

581
01:22:23.460 --> 01:22:24.500
Stuart Withington: Okay, thanks. A lot.

582
01:22:24.500 --> 01:22:28.329
Andrew Maliphant: Holiday, and we'll hear from Peter Burt in Badminton City Trust next week.
