Welcome to Vale Parish

The Vale Douzaine has today published its considered response to the wide-ranging draft Harbour Action Plan, which could direct future development and use of the island's two harbour areas.

Parishioner concerns that roads in the Vale are becoming overgrown because verges are left unweeded could be addressed by the Douzaine – but only at a cost to ratepayers, the Constable has warned.

A new report which aims to protect and enhance the island’s biodiversity and natural environment within a generation has been launched today – and has particular relevance for the Vale.

A Vale couple who asked planners for permission to create a tea plantation and glamping site on land off La Folie Lane with an associated workshop for drying the tea and acting as a community area for campers and others have had their application refused.

Vale Senior Constable Richard Leale has apologised for a software glitch that prevented access for nearly two weeks to the essential database that underpins much of the work done by the Douzaine office.
