Welcome to Vale Parish

Plans by the new Vale Cemetery Committee to manage the large site in a more biodiverse manner appear to be paying off, committee president Denise Cohu has said.

A special tea party organised by the Vale Douzaine to help celebrate Liberation Day 2023 has been hailed a great success.

Boat owners who are registered to use the Grande Havre and Bordeaux areas have been reminded to get their moorings shipshape for the season – and the deadline to do so is the end of this month.

Not enough consideration has historically been given to the cumulative impacts of development in the island for infrastructure like roads, drainage and schools, the president of Environment and Infrastructure has confirmed in a wide-ranging conversation with Senior Constable Richard Leale – but she says it is a central focus now in the north of the island, given all the proposed development there.

Dog walkers in the Vale are being urged to be responsible when it comes to clearing up after their pets. The reminder follows bags of waste being left in the amenity field behind the Douzaine Room in Rue Maraitaine, which the parish is now having to spend ratepayer funds on to have removed and disposed of properly.
