THE Policy Council has assured islanders that it will not amend in any way a wide-ranging report on Education before it is published.

IT IS a document that will shape the future of planning.

HOUSING and properties suitable for ‘Fred in the shed’ style businesses could be developed in and around rural centres if the States agrees to a new strategic land use plan.

PUBLIC SERVICES minister Bernard Flouquet has urged people to attend the department’s drop-in sessions.

SPENDING £300,000 on a communications programme for the airport development is totally unnecessary, the Housing minister has said.

PLANNING permission and potential legal action will be the next hurdles for Guernsey’s £80m. airport project after the States gave it the go-ahead yesterday.

STATES members have just passed the £80.4m. airport development project and appointed the preferred contractor Lagan Construction.

ANY delay in approving the £80m. airport project would increase its cost and seriously jeopardise the island’s ability to attract experienced contractors to carry out the works, Public Services has said.

NEGOTIATIONS with the company selected to do the airport development project have identified more than £2m. in savings.

GUERNSEY’S population management regime faces its biggest shake-up ever with the potential for islanders to lose the right to return and the possibility of every islander getting a resident’s permit.
