  1. Politician wants transport ministry for Guernsey

    BBC Radio Guernsey

    A Guernsey politician believes creating a transport ministry could improve the way the States deal with land, sea and air links.

    Deputy John Gollop, who sits on the Transport Licensing Authority, says transport in the Bailiwick is currently managed by too many States bodies - often with conflicting interests.

    Deputy Gollop believes the system could be more effective "under one umbrella".

    Deputy John Gollop

    There are many other places around the world - even small places - that have had a transport ministry and Guernsey is one place that doesn't. We have a most extraordinary corporate governance because policy and resources control the purse strings.

    The States is yet to comment.

  3. Bullying a 'major concern' in Jersey says survey

    BBC Radio Jersey

    Children as young as three in Jersey are worried about school or nursery because they fear they will be bullied or left out, according to a recent survey by Jersey's first Children's Commissioner, Deborah McMillan.

    She visited more than 2,000 people - adults and children - at various schools across the island.

    Of those she spoke to, 50% said there needed to be "more places to play", with children from the age of seven to 18 also stating that preventing bullying would make life better for young people living in Jersey.

    The majority of adults (70%) that were surveyed - who work with or on behalf of young children - said bullying was a "major concern".

    Mrs McMillan says the next step will be to produce a more detailed report of the findings and she will then explain the actions she'll take to solve the problems that have been raised.

    Guernsey's Miles Munro was just one hundredth of a second off a place in the semi-finals of the 50m freestyle at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

    The 21-year-old finished sixth in his heat time of 22.94 seconds and was 0.01 behind New Zealand's Sam Perry who was 16th-fastest after the heats.

    But he could still compete if one of the semi-finalists pulls out before they start at around 11:30 BST.

    Meanwhile Jersey's Harry Shalamon ended his Commonwealth Games with a win in the first heat of the 50m freestyle in a time of 24.01 seconds, but he was seventh in his 200m backstroke heat and failed to progress.

    Guernsey's Tatiana Tostevin also had heartache as she too narrowly missed out on a chance of progressing in the 50m backstroke semi-finals.

    The 14-year-old was last in her heat in a time of 30.19 seconds, but her time was just 0.05 seconds off a place as a reserve for the next round.

    Jersey's Gemma Atherley won her heat in 30.91 seconds in the same event.
