Unexpected legal issues mean that Wednesday's planned election for two new Vale douzeniers has had to be postponed.

In case you missed it, a special parish meeting is to be held next Wednesday to elect new Douzeniers.

Next year is the 75th anniversary of Guernsey's Liberation, commemorating the Islands' freedom from German Occupation during World War II, and one of the points raised at the recent parish meeting was how the Vale might celebrate this milestone occasion.

Constables of the island’s two northern parishes have expressed reservations about the proposed development of a 15 acre site off Route Militaire that had been earmarked as a data park.

The Vale Parish Remembrance Service commemorating the Armistice will be held at 10am on Sunday 10 November at the war memorial just off the Bridge. Anyone attending will then be invited back to the Douzaine room for tea or coffee and biscuits while live coverage of the UK's Cenotaph service and two minutes' silence will be available on a big screen.

A move by Planners to protect more than 40 trees surrounding the so-called Triangle Field opposite the Braye Road entrance to Alliance has been welcomed by the Vale's Senior Constable.

Anyone fly tipping anywhere in the island will be pursued with the utmost possible rigour, according to the senior civil servant responsible for the island's waste strategy.

The popularity of the Vale Parish's website has been featured by the Guernsey Press, which reported today that the more than 60,000 'hits' were registered in a recent 12-week period.

The Vale Douzaine is looking for new douzeniers because two of its experienced members are standing down after giving years of valuable voluntary service to the parish.

A bad case of fly tipping has occurred at at a well known Vale beauty spot and has been reported to the police for investigation and action.
