Moving commercial port activity away from St Sampson's Harbour could be a 'once in a generation' opportunity to transform the Bridge, the States said today. Proposals from the States' Trading Supervisory Board (STSB) would see the current harbour become a leisure only port, with additional facilities for private boats.

Proposals by Policy and Resources to work more closely with the island's parishes could be a significant part of the Government Work Plan and play a part in the drive to "right-size" the States.

An early warning about the forthcoming deadline for cleaning douits has been posted today by the States Trading Supervisory Board in its capacity as the Central Streams Committee.

A series of updates has come from the island's Waste Authority, which include making recycling containers more visible and trying to relieve congestion at the Longue Hougue recycling centre.

Vale residents are being asked what additional services they might like provided through the Douzaine as the States considers how best it might outsource some government functions to the parishes.

A special display has been created at the Vale Douzaine to mark and celebrate "acts of kindness through the ages". The theme was selected by the Heritage Festival Group to focus on the GuernseyTogether spirit demonstrated as the island responded to the difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

More than half a million pounds of Vale expenditure is to be discussed at the forthcoming parish meeting, the official publication has shown.

The Vale's parish meeting will now be held after Easter on Wednesday April 7 because of an unavoidable delay in preparing the official convening notice for La Gazette Officielle.

Vale's Senior Constable has added his support to a group of Le Picquerel residents objecting to a property developer proposing to build a new "home" on what is actually a garage driveway.
