RPA Online mapping changes

I submitted a change online for the first time a couple of days ago.
It wouldn’t accept my file so I waited 24hrs, still failed to upload it, keep clicking and eventually it accepted it!
There seems to be a bug in the system but perseverance paid off eventually but was a waste of time! (Made even more irritating that the change I had to do was due to a “remote mapping exercise“ where they combined 2 fields into one for no reason!)

When you look at all the mapping changes I have had on my farm in the last 20 years , that have no doubt cost thousands of pounds for the RPA to do, is it good value to the taxpayers ?

The farm is still within a hectare of the original maps that were drawn up in around 1960 !

Total waste of time and money

Just been notified of 3 changes today.
Mostly incorrect, but so minor not worth the time to correct.
There‘s no BPS now so it’s only environmental payments on 0.008ha. Big wow.
Now we have left EU it ought to be to nearest 2 decimal places. Who wants to know to the nearest meter squared!
Blood pressure pills anyone?
Not a help to OP I know :banghead:

Can not understand why rpa don't ask if changes are right before making them it would save a lot work having to change them back if the changes are wrong.
They removed all our permanent ineligible features once, we have at least 2 per field one with 16. Then helpfully said i had to RLE1 them all back.

Well the problem wasn't with RPA it was my computer ineptitude and Clive had no trouble doing it, will just be interesting to see how long it takes for the changes show in 'Mapping ' so that we can get on with our new application.
