I made a layer with it joined to postcode district boundaries and the ONS population estimates, to give a measure of applications per 10,000 population. Data and source links here drive.google.com/drive/folde…

I'm intrigued as to the rationale behind naming your company this. There must be a reason - making it hard to find maybe? Certainly wouldn't make it easier for them to answer the phone though. I imagine them doing it in the style of the Bodyform advert find-and-update.company-info…

How many people live in the green belt in England? I get a figure of 1.2 million people, or just over 2% of the total population of England cc @pablobones More here: statsmapsnpix.com/2023/10/ho…

Updated map showing RAAC-affected schools as of 14/09, along with authority boundaries. Essex still way, way out in front with 57 of the 174 schools affected. Next highest is Birmingham with 6 pinea.app.carto.com/map/ac95…

My mistake - Kent has 8, making it the next highest

Out of interest, I also looked at where affected schools sit in the Indices of Multiple Deprivation. Perhaps surprisingly schools in the least deprived areas are more affected

Also, and given the post-war expansion it's maybe not surprising, but Essex CC has by far the greatest number of schools affected (54, fully 36% of all affected schools)

Insect twitter - we found this guy in Brighton. All our ID apps say it's a Buck Moth, but it's not commonly found in the UK. Any idea what it might otherwise be?

You could happily argue (I won't, yet) that this is a very un-Conservative announcement in favouring centralised, state-subsidised mitigation rather than allowing the market free rein to decide what the minimum they can get away with is. And I'm OK with that. 6/7

But please don't argue this is a charter for unmitigated pollution of protected waterways, as it's really not. Bad people can sometimes do OK things 7/7
