A number of people were also treated after getting ill from taking MDMA.

Daily flights to Heathrow from Guernsey will continue into the winter season after operator Flybe opted to extend the service.

Back in March, the States of Guernsey announced the route between Heathrow and Guernsey would only be a trial, lasting until November. This has now been extended until 28 March 2020.

Originally, the subsidy cost taxpayers £825,000, although there has been no information provided on whether Guernsey would continue to pay a subsidy after the extension.

The announcement has been met positively by Economic Development Committee President Charles Parkinson, who said the route had helped develop Guernsey's strategic air links.

An estimated 13,000 passengers have used the service to date.

The States of Jersey Police hope to recruit 25 extra officers next year, due in part to an increase in the number of incidents involving mental health issues officers have to deal with.

Bosses said officers had to cope with more than 1,000 such incidents already in 2019 and commanders said it was putting a strain on manpower.

Det Insp Craig Jackson said he wanted to increase the number of available officers from 190 to 215.

A report, external into Jersey authorities' use of surveillance powers has revealed 39 warrants were granted to listen to private phone conversations last year.

Interception powers can be used to listen in to the phone calls of people suspected of committing serious crime and need the permission of Jersey's Attorney General to be used.

Jersey's Investigatory Powers Commissioner, Lord Anderson of Ipswich, said the warrants were connected to 11 investigations carried out by police or customs.

He added more than £400,000 of illegal drugs were seized in operations in which interception was used.

The majority of those drugs were cannabis, but substantial quantities of MDMA and heroin were also seized, together with other drugs.

That's an increase of 16% since the same time last year.

He's hoping a campaign to boost the numbers of officers will provide a much-needed service to the island.

Any work to remove part of the east end of L'Ancresse wall in Guernsey has been delayed until at least 2021.

The project, voted through in the States in 2017, has encountered delays in carrying out the environmental impact assessment.

Energy and Projects Officer Peter Barnes said that while the delay is unfortunate, they will continue with their responsibility for people's safety.

Those in favour of removing the wall - built during World War Two - said the cracks that have formed are dangerous, and that a natural shingle bank would form in its place.

Others, such as the gold club behind, fear the headland could be lost without the concrete structure to protect it.
