Building on the controversial 'Triangle Field' opposite Alliance is probably all but inevitable, Vale's Senior Constable has said as he criticises States' silo mentality.

Nearly 200 parishioners face fines and being taken to Petty Debts Court over unpaid parish rates, the office warned today. A total of 190 bills remain outstanding despite reminders being posted out three weeks ago and the Douzaine has an obligation to collect the money owed for providing parish services.

Parishioners with hedges and/or streams on their property are reminded that the legal deadline for cutting them back and cleaning douits is fast approaching.

An appeal has been made by the Vale Douzaine for public spirited parishioners who would like to play a role in the island's first island-wide general election for People's Deputies.

For any Vale residents thinking of voting in the forthcoming and first island-wide general election of deputies, today is your last chance to register in order to do so.

Public art incorporating the Vale parish crest and two "lifetime" homes have been proposed in the revised development plans for the so-called Triangle Field opposite the entrance to Alliance.

Householders in the Vale are being reminded that they have until August 22 to pay their parish rates or else face possible court action to recover the money.

A quick reminder that the Vale Church's Beach Service has been rearranged for this evening with with the Salvation Army and Methodist Churches. It will be held at  5.00pm at Grande Havre and will take the form of a Songs of Praise. Should it be wet the congregations will meet at the Salvation Army instead.

A more holistic and joined up approach to traffic matters in the North of the island has been promised following a meeting between the Vale's Senior Constable and Development and Planning Authority (DPA) President Dawn Tindall.

There has been a positive reaction to calls by the Vale Douzaine for a joined up approach to be taken to traffic issues in the North of the island. The plea for a holistic view by planners has now been picked up by the island's media.
