Welcome to Vale Parish

A quick reminder that the Constables and Douzeniers will be starting their hedge and streams inspections next week after the official deadline of June 15 has expired. Those not cleaned or cut in accordance with the relevant legislation have to be reported for further action.

Are you interested in getting an allotment or taking up gardening? If so, Deputy Sasha Kazantseva-Miller would like to hear from you as she is trying to gauge the level of demand in the island.

Vale residents have been invited by the Development and Planning Authority to nominate the green fields and open spaces they would like to see preserved from development in the parish.

IT issues which affected the Constables' Office last week have now been resolved, thanks to some welcome help from Agilisys, which is working in partnership with the States to deliver the SMART Guernsey programme to improve access to public services.

The Vale's Constables' office is apologising to parishioners because an IT problem has stopped its telephone and email system from working – just as residents are trying to pay their rates bills.
