Vale parishioners are being encouraged to complete a survey that will help inform new proposals about how the whole Bridge area could be improved – from road signage to housing development or new marinas.

Following a deferred election to elect four douzeniers to the Vale Douzaine, the votes have been counted and the results declared. They are as follows:

The Vale parish is holding an election for four douzeniers tomorrow, Wednesday the 15th. There are six candidates and if you live in the Vale and are on the electoral roll, you need to go to the polling station at the Vale Douzaine Room between 8am and 8pm to vote.

Hougue Jehannet, the road running through the Vale power station, should be closed permanently, the Royal Court has decided.

Changes are needed to the way deferred elections for douzeniers can be requested at parish meetings, Vale Senior Constable Richard Leale has said. He is now pressing the authorities to consider amending the law on this.

Guernsey's Royal Court is expected to hear on Monday an application to close permanently Hougue Jehannet, the road behind the Vale Power Station. This follows court papers being presented yesterday.

The dates for two significant parish events have been published – the annual Service of Remembrance and the deferred election for the election of douzeniers.

A contested election will be held in the Vale next week as six candidates have come forward for the four seats that are up for re-election on the douzaine.

Details of the forthcoming parish meeting have been published in La Gazette Officielle and the date of this year's is Wednesday 1 November. The main business is for the election of parochial officials.

A court hearing scheduled for Monday to decide whether Hougue Jehannet, the road behind the power station, should close permanently has been delayed, the Vale Douzaine has been told.
