Parishioners have been asked by the States to give their views on parish kerbside collections and any visits they may have made to waste sites, such as the bring banks, the Household Waste & Recycling Centre, and the Chouet Green Waste Site.

Vacancies have arisen for one of the best outdoor jobs available in Guernsey – helping to maintain L'Ancresse Common, the largest area of open land in the island and used by thousands every year.

The Planning Department has approved its own development framework for the construction of more than 300 new homes on a St Sampson’s site situated at sea level and at risk of flooding. This comes just one week after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published warnings of increasingly extreme weather events, and it ignores multiple public representations, including that of St Sampson’s Douzaine, which details the potential dangers to public safety.

A new Vale douzenier was elected last night following a deferred ballot which attracted possibly the biggest ever turnout for such an event.
