Hospital builders 'not parking in specified places'
BBC Radio Jersey
Builders working on Jersey's new hospital will not be allowed to park at Patriotic Street or on the site of the hospital itself.
At a recent forum to discuss the plans, local business owners raised several concerns about traffic and parking while the work is going on.
Project managers described how more than 80 builders vehicles a day would be driving along Kensington Place during the construction process.
But they added they hoped to reduce congestion for other road users by regulating builders' parking.
They are expecting to start taking over properties in the street next year.

Ombudsman proposals released by law commission
Chris Quevatre
BBC News Online
The Jersey Law Commission has published proposals for a public services ombudsman to be created in the island.
A report in 2000 recommended that a complaints body should be set up, but renewed calls by the commission in 2017 led to the island's government passing a proposition to "progress as a matter of urgency".
Islanders in Guernsey are being asked for their ideas on how to develop the seafront.
The States have chosen six under-used sites between North Plantation and La Vallette which could enhance the area.

The six States-owned sites, including the kiosk at the bathing pools, the tourist information centre, and areas on both Crown Pier and Castle Emplacement have been identified as possible locations as part of the Seafront Enhancement Programme.
A hotel, art gallery, bars, and cafes are among the possibilities, but the Policy and Resources Committee is keen to hear any ideas.
Deputy Gavin St Pier says the ultimate aim is to enhance the community's enjoyment of the seafront, and he wants islanders to be as creative and imaginative as possible.

Chris Quevatre
BBC News Online
Guernsey's environment committee is planning to implement 81 new speed restrictions on 7 April 2019.
The new 25mph zones are on various roads around Cobo, L’Aumone, St Martin's, St. Peter's,
Forest, L’Islet, St Sampson's, Braye Road and St Peter Port.
They would amend the Road Traffic (Speed Limits and Trials) Ordinance, 1987.
The amendments to the law will need to be passed by the States of Guernsey
Policy committee to suggest Guernsey budget amendments
BBC Radio Guernsey
Guernsey's Policy and Resources Committee (P&R) says it will submit 16 amendments to the 2019 Budget to counteract other proposals which, if passed, would reduce States revenue.
The committee has suggested reducing the recommended personal income tax allowances to avoid plunging the States into deficit.
President of P&R Gavin St Pier said he understood why proposals to reduce changes to fuel duty or TRP [Tax on Real Property] were popular with the public, but there was "no such thing as a free lunch", and other changes would need to made elsewhere.
The committee said its amendments would achieve the same aims but retain a balanced budget by reducing the proposed income tax cut to low and middle-income families.

Fireworks 'caused Jersey furze fire'
Sarah Scriven
News Editor, BBC Jersey
It is thought fireworks caused a big furze fire in Jersey at the weekend, which saw crews stretched as they dealt with two other blazes at the same time.
Several people called emergency services at about at about 21:30 on Saturday to report a fire on the headland spreading quickly towards some houses. Fifteen firefighters brought it under control before it reached buildings
At the same time, another fire engine went to a minor fire in St Helier.
The fire service said this left the island without cover as all resources were being used.
Some firefighters left Greve de Lecq to be available if there was another emergency.
Another fire engine, crewed by on-call firefighters, was sent to a burning hedgerow next to St John's Recreation Centre. Officers are investigating what caused it.
Firefighters warning people to use fireworks responsibly and to check weather conditions before using them or lighting bonfires.
Sark chamber 'very concerned' over power relationships
Chris Quevatre
BBC News Online
Sark's Chamber of Commerce is "very concerned" over the "apparent worsening relationship" between the island's government and power company.
Sark Electricity Limited - the sole provider on the island - was forced to lower its prices in August, and has since warned that without government help it will be forced to close.
BBCCopyright: BBC
The price per unit was forcibly reduced from 66p to 52p per kilowatt hour, with a further reduction in the pipeline next year.
The new, lower price is still three times the cost of Guernsey's electricity.
The Chamber of Commerce is now asking politicians to raise the topic at an extraordinary meeting of the island's government, Chief Pleas, on Tuesday.
A statement from the chamber said the situation "needs to be rectified before it becomes irretrievable".

Mr Alps' remains were identified in a burnt out car on Guernsey's south coast in January 2018, however the force is yet to establish his cause of death.
