Welcome to Vale Parish

A truck that has been abandoned at the Vale Castle car park for weeks and is now full of potentially toxic rubbish won't be moved at parish expense, Senior Constable Richard Leale has said.

Details of a planning application that could enable the extraction of up to 4.1 million tonnes of stone from Chouet headland in three phases have been published and Vale parishioners have until August 17 to make representations to the planning service about the proposal.

A problem of coastal erosion at La Fontenelle Bay near Beaucette is likely to be resolved before the winter storms come and make the situation worse, the Environment Committee has said in response to representations from the parish and Vale Commons Council, which is responsible for the area.

Disposing of a truck that appears to have been abandoned at the car park opposite the Vale Castle could leave the Vale Douzaine – and parish ratepayers – facing a bill of around £1,000, Senior Constable Richard Leale has revealed. The cost has been significantly increased because the small lorry has been filled with rubbish.

Dog owners using L'Ancresse Common have been warned that they need to keep their animals on a lead at all times and under close supervision. This reminder follows what has been described as a spate of attacks and aggressive behaviour from pets.
