    The organiser of a local petition to ban the permanent use of plastic bags says talks with the States have been slow-moving.

    More than 5,000 people have called on the States to ban single-use bags, but Helen Youngs from Plastic Free Guernsey said things such as Brexit had caused conversations with deputies to become slow-moving.

    Ms Youngs said she was still as determined as ever to make change.

    Helen Youngs, Plastic Free Guernsey

    Deputy Barry Brehaut said a proposal to ban single-use plastic bags in Guernsey was to be brought before the States.
