An updated agenda for the Vale Parish meeting has now been published in La Gazette Officielle requesting comments from ratepayers and electors on the proposed expenditure and revenue raising measures proposed for the year.

With coronavirus lockdown restrictions preventing parish meetings from going ahead, special emergency regulations have been approved to enable douzaines to raise money.

Islanders have been asked to stop using clothing and shoe bring-banks during the coronavirus crisis because they are not being emptied and are overflowing.

Two developments with a potential impact on the Vale have been highlighted by Senior Constable Richard Leale. The first is a request to close a road off the Bridge and the second is an appeal that has been lodged against a Planning decision to refuse building at the so-called 'Triangle Field' opposite Alliance.

Four major States committees have expressed enthusiasm for Leale's Yard being redeveloped and the Bridge area being regenerated, the Guernsey Press has reported.

A Vale Douzenier is playing a key part in fighting the coronavirus outbreak by helping to provide essential medical products for the worldwide emergency.

Parishioners are reminded that tomorrow is the last day for making comments on the Leale's Yard draft development brief.

Financial support from the States is available for Vale businesses and self employed individuals affected by the coronavirus outbreak. This follows the setting up of a Guernsey Payroll Co-Sharing Scheme and a grant scheme for small traders, which were announced today.
