I do have some concerns about the talk pages though.
Over time, I've asked quite a few questions on various talk pages, seeking
clarification
Discussions on the Talk page mentioned groups such as these
https://wsart.org.uk/, who assist Emergency Services (Police, Fire &
Ambulance) with water search & rescue.
Have mentioned them in the proposal as emergency_service=water

They drive into a site (building site, warehouse complex etc) at morning
