It's "unacceptable" how long it's taken to invest in La Mare De Carteret High School, according to the president of Education Sport and Culture.

This comes after the committee's pledge to spend more than £700,000 to improve the school.

Deputy Matt Fallaize says investments should've been made sooner.

The school has been at the centre of numerous education debates in recent years, with some States members wanting to rebuild it completely.

You can start voting in Jersey's General Election today.

If you registered to vote before 9 April, you can vote at St Paul's Center in St Helier.

Pre-poll voting is designed for people who would not be able to vote on election day, or who may find it more convenient.

Deputy Greffier Lisa Hart said she hopes pre-poll voting will give more people a chance to have their say on who should run Jersey.

If you are going to vote today, remember to take a form of photo ID, such as your driving licence or passport.

Politicians must stop talking and start taking action to boost visitor numbers, according to the man at the centre of Jersey's new tourism campaign.

Richard Stevens, who runs Jersey Seafari's, said politicians talk a great deal about increasing visitor numbers, but added it's not followed up with policy changes.

He said the island's tourism organisation Visit Jersey has done well to make more people aware of what the island has to offer, but wants more to be done.

Any decisions about end-of-life care should be made by the individual concerned, according to broadcaster Angela Rippon.

Asked about Guernsey's ongoing debate on assisted dying, she said strict legal support should ensure any decision is a genuine one - and not one that is made for the wrong reasons.

The end-of-life is something we should be thinking about when we're healthy, and not when we're unwell, she added.

The States of Guernsey is due to debate the topic next month.
