Guernsey's entire roadwork is to be surveyed to get an idea of the overall state of repair.

It's the first time it has happened since 2013.

Over the next eight days Traffic and Highway Services will look at 260 miles of road surface across the island to get an idea of the amount of work required to bring it up to standard and the budget needed over the next five years.

Traffic and Highway Services say it's a constant challenge to keep up with repairs especially with the high number of roads being dug up by utility companies.

There's been criticism in the States that not enough is being spent on road maintenance. Senior manager Peter Falla says they're working hard to make taxpayers' money go further and the survey will help prioritise work in the most cost effective way.

Jersey Football Association president Phil Austin says they will "not give up" in their bid to join Uefa after their case was heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Wednesday.

Their application to become a member nation was rejected by Uefa last year, but Jersey believe their bid needs to at least be put to members at congress.

"I'm surprised we've got so far down the line and we're certainly not going to give up now," Austin told BBC Radio Jersey.

"It's going to be difficult for us. Gibraltar got in because CAS gave strong directions to the [Uefa] congress, to the membership, that they felt the application should be accepted.

"Whether they do that for us I don't know - if they don't then it's going to be tough for us to get in because why should they allow another member in?"
