Easy Access To Initial 51 Public Boundary Commission Responses

Yesterday the good news came through that the Boundary Commission had acted on suggestions for greater transparency and have created a list of responses related to the Isle of Wight, so those interested could get an idea of how the public reacted to the initial boundary change suggestions.

Transparency camp sign photosMaking it easier for you
It’s a small step in the right direction, but still doesn’t give those interested an easy way to view the responses, as you have to individually search for each ID number.

We’ve done the boring bit for you and have gathered all of the data and transformed them into easy to follow links.

Three different way to view the data
Below you’ll be able to view the data organised in three different ways, just by clicking the tabs at the bottom –

  • Opinion order – Giving you a quick to understand way of seeing the public’s reaction
  • Name order – To see who responded and their opinion
  • Received order – The order the data was received by the Commission (probably the least interesting view, but how we received the data)

How to see details
If you want to understand the detail of the individual, just clicking on the entry in the last column will take you to the Web page on the Boundary Commission site, to read their entry.

Comment on the public’s comments
Without the risk of sounding too cyclical, once you’re read the full comments on the Boundary Commission site, there’s an opportunity for you to leave your own views on each of the comments left by the public.

BT have recently spent hundreds of millions on getting rights to football games; money that should have been used to fund their infrastructure.

The council must be totally bonkers.

BT could afford to spend £897m (more than doubling the cost of the contract) to outbid Sky for footy games, because our gov’t. is giving them £1.2bn of our money to deliver broadband to rural areas. (Private Eye again; bonkers not to read it!)

Are we all holding our breath> Do we actually EXPECT someone to tell us what is happening?

Can anyone clarify the individual nuances of e), f) and h)? I find those 3 rather confusing! I hope the IoWC understands them.

All of the conditions are immaterial. BT will do whatever they were going to, on their own timelines, however delayed they may be. If the IW Council comes after them what will happen is BT Legal Dept will tie the much smaller IW Council Legal Dept up in knots and say something about ‘best efforts’ as the creaking, decaying archaic copper network fails to deliver the NGA… Read more »

“(d) 100% of premises to receive a minimum of 2mpbs” Download is already better that that in most places: marginal increase in Upload. “(e) 97% of premises in the intervention area to have an NGA connection (min 30 mbps) POST project” ” f)87% of premises in the intervention area to have immediate access to superfast broadband speeds (min 24 mbps) POST project “(h) 96% of premises on… Read more »

Cicero – d) was an essential part of the ‘deal’ as it is the government’s ‘promise’ to the UK and thus could not be ignored in politics. POST project requires a clear termination date for the contract (is that the same as the project? – cue BT’s legal team). I was hoping someone could cut through the crap and sort out what:- “97% min 30mb” “87% min… Read more »

In a relatively timely fashion, and as a reminder of BT’s commitment to delivering on their timescales and promises our FTTC date has been slipped another month. They put a date up, until we’re a day past it, then it’s slipped by a month, two months, six months, who knows how long? For the past few months we’ve been promised FTTC would be order-able on 30th November.… Read more »
