A decision is expected this evening on whether a controversial toilet extension at St Lawrence Church will go ahead.

Plans for the doorway of the 800-year-old church had started after planning permission was granted, but strong opposition persuaded the church's rector to halt the work until a decision could be made at tonight's parish assembly.

Supporters of the plans say the extension will provide access for disabled people and a toilet, but those against say it will spoil the historic fabric of the building.

Eight deputies have experienced harassment and intimidation, three have been subject to physical abuse and two say they've been stalked.

Of the 68% of deputies who have been abused four reported the incident to police.

Guernsey Police say they've had three complaints made by deputies this term alone.
