Five Vale households are about to be taken to court for not paying their rates, Senior Constable Richard Leale has confirmed as the Douzaine gets tough on defaulters.

It's September and so time to remind parishioners that by law all hedges and streams need to be cut and cleared no later than the 30th so they can be inspected by Vale Douzeniers. Here’s the official explanation:

Attempts by the Vale Douzaine to get improvements to one of the worst surfaced roads in the parish – and possibly the island – have been highlighted in the Guernsey Press Parish Matters column.

Moves by the States to remove unused craft from the headland at Les Amarreurs and restore the vegetation binding the sand dunes there have been welcomed by the parish's Constables.

What's been described by some as the worst road in the island looks set for improvement following pressure from the Vale Douzaine.

Public funds will be used to help kick-start the regeneration of Leale's Yard, Policy and Resources said yesterday. It has authorised up to £400,000 to be used to revitalise four areas, including the long derelict Bridge site.

All 10 island parishes have widespread concerns about the way Guernsey's planning laws currently work, the Guernsey Douzaine Council has said.

Claims by Development & Planning Authority president Dawn Tindall that just four homes were built in the North of the island last year show how out of touch she is with parish concerns about over-development and the loss of open space, says the Vale's Senior Constable.

Vale parishioners have a week left to comment on plans to build at the "Triangle Field" at the entrance of Alliance, parish deputy Sarah Hansmann Rouxel has said.
