BIDB uk

Is Better Internet Dashboard broken?

It seems to have lost the ability to display the description of the works over the last couple of weeks...

https://bidb.uk/

No works showing at all for me (just as my area was getting interesting).

Nothing mentioned on their twitter since Dec/22

Yes, looking at it now it is very quiet around my postcode CH5 3HS Up until a couple of weeks ago it was showing numerous jobs of clearing ducts, new poles and replacing frames etc

Cheers!

He's had to change his source for roadworks he told me when I emailed him last week.

He said he's got a new source for roadworks from Scotland up and running and has a plan for England.

Unfortunately i'm based in Wales and there is no other central source he can use I don't think. 😭

Sounds like you need to do an FOI enquity into the Welsh Parliament for that, might be a better use of funds than the speed limits debate

Good to know msh is working on the data issue, its a very useful tool but depends on third party data.

Msh is a great tool without it effective activity is not possible!

Any news on BIDB being fully up and running again?

If anyone can provide the dev with a free API for the required missing source data then it would be.

I've been trying to find local planning applications related to fibre installation and can't seem to find the right search criteria. In the council's weekly list of new applications I can see them listed but the reference numbers don't work on their search page. Have sent an email to the planning dept.

In case anyone is interested it's Arun district council.
Their search page is https://www.arun.gov.uk/planning-application-search/
A planning application that I can't find is has reference PE/00304/23 - I think the PE stands for permitted development.
I found the reference number within their weekly list of new applications

Is an alternative that is currently working as expected
