SCC are working with Parish Online, and there is also a footpath layer, which has rights of way mapped out. The usage of Parish Online is increasing, with national layers covering allotments and cemeteries. There are system links to smart phones. Photos and documents can be uploaded onto Parish Online. A question was raised with regards to fly tipping on Batts Lane, and if it is possible to report this sort of instance using Parish Online. Unfortunately, this needs to be reported directly to SSDC or the appropriate authority. However, Parish Online can create a precise geolocation for the incident. Public session closed at 7:40pm. The meeting opened at 7:40pm. 1 To receive apologies for absence (LGA 1972 S85 (1)) Cllr Fell sent apologies, family commitments.
