End of twitter post'Limited work' on Guernsey infrastructure planpublished at 13:59 Greenwich Mean Time 24 December 2018
Luke Webb
BBC Radio GuernseyLimited work has been done by the Committee for Environment and Infrastructure on a new Island Infrastructure Plan.
The information has come to light following questions from Deputy Carl Meerveld looking at progress with the scheme.
The plan effectively is a look at co-ordinating the approach to the delivery of the infrastructure vital to the States of Guernsey's priorities.
So far, despite a request from the Environment Department for £200,000 across the next two years to support the development of the plan, no dedicated money has been put towards its development.
Following questions from Islanders' Association founding member Deputy Meerveld, the committee admitted that, until dedicated resources were allocated, progress in producing a detailed project plan would be limited.
In an update to States members earlier this month, Deputy Barry Brehaut, said he had written to the Policy and Resources Committee asking for assistance in this regard.

Passengers said there was a loud crunching noise and the vessel shook.

End of twitter postGuernsey deputy 'sick of excuses' over flight bidspublished at 08:29 Greenwich Mean Time 24 December 2018
BBC Radio GuernseyA Guernsey politician is calling for greater transparency over the bids being made to operate key air routes between Alderney, and Guernsey and Southampton.
Deputy for St Peter Port North, John Gollop said he's "sick of commercial confidentiality being given as a stock excuse".
He said it will be hard for States members to come to a rational decision when questions still remain about whether or not the island will be served by a viable operator...
Quote MessageThe submission period for tenders for the Alderney-Guernsey and Alderney-Southampton PSOs have now come to a close. A number of bids have been received covering both routes, and the reviewing panel has started evaluating the bids. Once a preferred outcome has been identified, the committee will make a recommendation to the States of Deliberation in early 2019.

Petition to ban glyphosate in Jersey gets 1,000 signaturespublished at 08:21 Greenwich Mean Time 24 December 2018
Freddie Miller
BBC Jersey political reporterA Jersey minister will consider the latest UK and EU research before responding to a petition calling for a weedkiller chemical to be banned in the island.
More than 1,000 people have signed online in an attempt to outlaw glyphosate use in Jersey.
Glyphosate was introduced by US agrochemical giant Monsanto in 1974, but its patent expired in 2000, and now the chemical is sold by various manufacturers.
The Monsanto weedkiller is called Roundup and it is the world's biggest-selling weedkiller.
The petition in the island was launched months after a Californian court ordered Monsanto to pay $289m in damages to a man who claimed herbicides containing the product had caused his cancer.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) says glyphosate is unlikely to cause cancer in humans.
Deputy John Young says he will seek advice from scientists before deciding what to do next.
