Forshaw Heath & Earlswood BoD in Warwickshire

Well as crime has been on my mind for the last couple of weeks and it has always appeared difficult to find any meaningful crime stats. I have at long last found the information used by the Police lurking on the Police.uk website. It is not live data and runs approx 6 to 8 weeks in arrears for example October 2020 is now visible. This is a totally interactive tool, easy to use and has a great dashboard, what is good about this tool it also provides outcomes. The default is for the whole of the Alcester North area however it is simple to find out where the hot spots are and which crimes have been included. So for those of you keeping an eye on the stats this may well be the tool to use. To get to the information  just click the link  below Alcester North Crime Data

Well it is the 3rd or fourth time I have wanted to scribble general thoughts and ramblings. I am currently feeling Sad, Confused, Annoyed and totally at the end of my tether with absolutely everything just in one short week we have had the following. A survey from PC asking us if we would notice a slight increase of the cost per week of our Parish Council Precept. A survey from the Police and Crime Commissioner  potentially asking the same question but for the Warwickshire Constabulary. Malthouse Lane Park now looks like a prison camp (Personal Opinion Only) so much for the openness of the Greenbelt. We have had two horrific crimes within a week - Neither of which we as a wider community would have known about if it weren't for local word of mouth, SM and groups and not from official sources ie Police, MSM except for the Daily Mail  A niggling and real Nitpicking moment  is when on the  3rd of December 2020  @20:07 hrs  I still don't see  Octobers Pari...

Oh crikey, I can't tell you how useful this tool is for anyone having to take and produce minutes. I only wish I had known about it whilst conducting Team Meetings whilst having to run a meeting and rely on memory to produce accurate minutes. What a flipping godsend it would have been, let alone the time it would have saved. It recognises different speakers, It has the ability to transcribe in real-time or you can record the meeting and upload the MP3 voice file at a later date, Once the meting is transcribed you have the ability to edit any transcription it may have misunderstood whilst listening to the meeting, You can add the speaker's names download the text file, The free version gives you 600 minutes a month ie 10 hours of meetings, it allows 3 mp3 voice file uploads. It only transcribes 40 minutes at a time. From a different instance of a browser, it can record meetings (voice) and type at the same time. It saves both voice and text files. This is an ideal tool for anyon...
