People in Alderney are being urged to share their views on how the island can be improved.  

The island's government said it wanted to "focus on moving forward together as a community with our neighbours in the Bailiwick".

Ideas for the Island Plan can be entered online, external or on a paper copy at the island hall.

Islanders have until 8 November to make their views known.

The last Island Plan was produced in 2018 but Alderney States said "island life" was now "different" after the Covid-19 pandemic and Brexit.

States Member Ian Carter, who is the plan's lead author, said there was a "golden window of opportunity where a range of elements have come together that give this plan a greater chance of success than previous attempts".

Everyone including schoolchildren is being asked to identify priorities in six areas outlined by the States: the economy, energy, accessibility, community development, environment and governance.

The plan will be finalised in November and sent to the full States meeting in December for ratification.
