Dozens of homes remain without power after storm

About 80 homes remain without power across the island

Dozens of homes remain without power in Jersey as disruption from Storm Ciarán persists.

Jersey Electricity said it had made "significant strides" in its restoration plan but about 80 properties still had no power.

The Government of Jersey said Hautlieu School and parts of the Samares School remained closed due to damage.

It said Hautlieu could reopen on Thursday if the roof was repaired in time, but Samares was not likely to fully reopen until Monday. Victoria College reopened on Tuesday, it added.

• Tornado hit eastern parts of Jersey during storm

• Volunteers help clean up parts of Jersey

• Fund set up to support displaced islanders

• Storm petrels blown hundreds of miles to Jersey

A recovery co-ordination group has been set up to help co-ordinate the clean-up operations to roads, homes and infrastructure, as well as support the community and displaced residents.

Islanders were no longer advised to work from home but authorities continued to urge motorists to travel with care.

Many roads across the island remain blocked or restricted, with officials concerned about overhanging branches, unstable trees and dangerous walls causing further problems.

The government said inspectors would be looking at potential hazards and working to remove them, while landowners were also asked to inspect their own properties for any potential risks to the public.

Chief Minister Kristina Moore said the government was paying for 50 islanders to stay at the Radisson Hotel, which had gone down from 180 since the storm hit.

She said: "I doubt there are many islanders who haven’t been impacted in at least some way, and the commitment to re-building will need to last beyond the past few days and the coming few weeks.

"Whilst we of course suffered injuries to some islanders, and displacement to a great many others, we thankfully managed to come through without any fatalities."

The government said all those who had been to hospital due to the storm had now been discharged safely.

Mariners have been advised that several marker boys usually moored to the sea bed were missing or damaged.

Jersey Coastguard said buoys were missing or had drifted from East Rock, Passage Rock, Les Fours North and Gorey Fairway, and the Demi des Pas lighthouse has stopped working.

The government said the Household Recycling and Household Green Waste facilities at La Collette would reopen to islanders on Wednesday, and that it was expected to be "extremely busy".

Many island roads remain blocked or restricted in the wake of the storm

Meanwhile, many island organisations were struggling to recover from the storm.

Volunteers at Jersey Petanque Club said they could not get inside their building at Les Quennevais.

The building, which lost its roof, houses all of the club's equipment and furniture.

Club chairman Peter Blampied said the site had been deemed a "danger zone".

"Bits of roof could still be coming off at windy times," he said.

"We cannot get into our club to save the equipment that's in there, so it's very sad."

The Jersey Wanderers have also been prevented from playing after its site at St Peter was devastated.

Mark Woodford, from the club, said: "We're waiting on a tree surgeon, and we know it's going to take some time because there's far more pressing matters at the moment.

"But until we get that... we're not going to be able to play games on that pitch."

Residents looking for tradespeople to carry out repair work were urged stay vigilant against scams.

Anne King, from the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner, said people asking for lots of personal details should trigger alarm bells.

She said: "If they're putting you under pressure, trying to get you to make a really fast decision about something, that could be a sign that something is not quite right."

Construction businesses from outside of Jersey will be allowed to operate in the island for 30 days without a business license to help with a quicker recovery.

The change to the permits will be in place until 3 December.
