Vale Douzaine will act sympathetically towards parishioners who might be experiencing financial difficulty in meeting parish rates during the coronavirus crisis, Senior Constable Richard Leale has said.

A revised Remède has been issued by the Rector and Churchwardens of the Vale in response to the financial difficulties being caused by the coronavirus pandemic and seeks to reduce the amount of money needed by them this year by around 25%.

A Vale Douzenier has helped to highlight the plight of the self-employed and sole traders during the island's lockdown response to the Covid-19 epidemic.

Guernsey has a unique opportunity with Renewable Energy, Green Finance and Digital Skills to secure an advanced, long-term, prosperous economy based on the north of the island, Vale Douzeniers have been told.

ANY proposals for the permanent closure of the road behind the Vale power station linking North Side with Summerfield Road will be strongly opposed by Vale Deputy Mary Lowe.

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.
