Welcome to Vale Parish

Demolition of the Leale's Yard site off the Bridge could start within the next 12 months, the States of Guernsey has told parishioners.

A deferred election for new douzeniers is to be held later this month after parishioners voted for this at last week's parish meeting. The official minutes of the gathering have now been published and cover a number of topics.

All parishioners have been invited to the Vale Remembrance Service, which is being held this Sunday.

With the Vale Parish Meeting being held tomorrow evening and six candidates standing for four douzaine seats plus one seat to complete an unexpired term, those seeking election have set out here their reasons for standing.

Stopping households from using a popular weedkiller has reduced the amount of pollution in water collected from the north of the island, Guernsey Water has said. But the ban has also been blamed for the worse state of roadsides and verges.
