Shunned: Guernsey hoteliers react angrily to plans to build an | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
accommodation block for airport runway workers. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
The plan for an island's future - Jersey States debate the business | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
plan, we talk to the Chief Minister. And caught on film - could | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
:00:34. | :00:47. | ||
motorists be slowed down with speed It was trumpeted as a boost to the | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
island's economy. The redevelopment of Guernsey's runway has concerns | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
and tourist trade could miss out. 150 workers could be brought to the | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
island but instead of being put up in hotels, a new accommodation | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
block will be built for them. Carlo Stefani AU runs a hotel near | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
the airport. He has plenty of space for the workers but is upset | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
there's they are unlikely to benefit. There are too many rooms | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
available for too many weeks of the year. I feel the economy needs such | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
help. Many should be returned into the community. Behind me it is | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
lined -- is land that has been earmarked for the Portakabins. The | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
local hotel trade could miss out on a much-needed boost. Preferred | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
contractors, Lagan Construction, refused to answer questions on how | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
much they have spent on the economy -- accommodation. Work to redevelop | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
the runway could start as early as October when the states are due to | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
find a contract with the company. In a statement, the public services | :02:06. | :02:16. | |
:02:16. | :02:27. | ||
The local tourist trade will be hoping that their concerns are | :02:27. | :02:37. | |

The EU body that has been examining just his busiest taxation system | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
has been approved by the Treasury. Part of the Zero Ten policy had | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
come under scrutiny. The EU said it gave rise to harmful effects. It is | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
thought the changes will cost the Treasury �10 million a year. | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
A taxi scheme to get people home safely at the end of a night out | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
will continue after a long-term sponsor was found. The taxi | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
marshals scheme mitres queues at the Weighbridge. -- monitors | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
accused. The Marshalls will be paid for by a finance company. They have | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
been nice enough to take on three taxes to advertise on. That is a | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
financial boost to us because it fills the funding that was required | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
to run the texture marshals. It enables the taxi marshals to | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
continue working. We are always looking at other streams of revenue | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
to make sure we have funding. The costs is up to �25,000 a year. | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
The spending plan for Jersey States is almost past. The states have one | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
amendment to debate. The business plan includes efficiency savings | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
across Government that includes investment. One of the state's | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
biggest spending priorities for 2012 is for the health department | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
that will get an extra �4.5 million. In a moment, we will hear more | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
about the plan from Senator Terry Le Sueur but first the financial | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
future for health. For it is the department deemed in | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
most need of investment bet half will always be making savings. One | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
idea is introducing joint health initiatives that Guernsey, like | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
sharing an air ambulance and Children's Services. Jersey's | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
Health Minister says services won't suffer. The most important thing is | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
they can't suffer. That is the wrong way to go. To pick the air | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
ambulance, it is improving the service. By having and using a | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
company that can service the two Channel Islands, we can get an | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
improved service. Other measures include making sure people don't | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
use A&E when they should be given to their doctors, revealing | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
management posts and reducing energy consumption. There is | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
investment. Health is getting a �4.5 million extra cash next year. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
8 million of that is to help retain and recruit doctors and nurses. | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
Unions fear it is not enough. it will go some way to helping | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
devise schemes to attract people. I don't think it is the only answer. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
There is other things we need to look at. We need to look at the | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
whole concept of how Nursing's -- nurses are paid for on the island. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
The theme of next year's business plan is delivering services for | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
less. That is the case here at health. The minister Deputy says | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
they can deliver their savings. So much so, she has not ruled out | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
free-standing as minister in the new Government. | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
A short while a gay -- ago, has asked the senator if tough choices | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
are ahead and if he is pleased? said there would be a mixture of | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
tax increases and spending cuts. We raised the taxes earlier 25 %. This | :06:28. | :06:37. | |
business plan is honouring our commitment. -- up to 5%. The second | :06:37. | :06:47. | |
:06:47. | :06:53. | ||
year, we are on target to have those savings. You have had a | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
different role before that. Have you had a steady hand on it? Yes. I | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
have been informed of the endorsement of Our Zero Ten | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
proposals which give our economy a boost for the future. We will need | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
it if we are going to provide additional revenue to cope with | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
downturns in the future. What turned us can you see ahead? -- | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
What to challenges can you see ahead? The increase in pressure on | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
capital spending, there is a range of the capital spending schemes we | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
need to do. They become more expensive. Funding these will take | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
some imaginative approaches. Talking about imagination, what we | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
do when you retire? I will leave that to your imagination as well. | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
You are watching the BBC in the Channel Islands. Later in Spotlight, | :07:57. | :08:07. | |

Next, it his St Clement who could be getting the first parish speed | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
cameras. The cost or Munster have permanent deterrence for speeding. | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
-- current Constable. It appears to have a steady pace of life but that | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
is not always the case on the roads where the traffic doesn't always | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
abate the 30 mph speed limit. The section of road is most likely to | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
be the new home of Jersey's first ever speed cameras. The idea they | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
would record the offender to be dealt with by the police, unlike | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
the UK where they will be issued with a fine. Residents felt speed | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
cameras would act as a deterrent. The road is narrow, there is | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
virtually no pavement, it is used by a lot of children going to | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
school and mothers. It does need special attention. It is supported | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
by residents. You get people who are inclined to go faster. That is | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
a deterrent. Walking on the pavement, these beans, they are | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
children about. It doesn't bear thinking about. -- these speeds. | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
The imposition of speed cameras would require a change in the law. | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
That will take time and I suspect it will not be universally | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
acceptable. If St Clements -- St Clement does get speed cameras, the | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
rest of the island will be looking Now, are more cockles dying on | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
Jersey's beaches? One fisherman say so. Pete Gosselin says the way it | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
seaweed is being piled up on the beach of Grovehill, it is killing | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
more cockles than last. It is claimed the rotting seaweed is to | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
blame. He says the smell is horrendous. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
For the problem is when they move it, they collect a lot of sand with | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
it that leads to the piles of rotting seaweed. It rocks down and | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
the road Bickleigh and produces a toxic liquid. As the tides | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
uncovered the weeds, the stench can be overpowering. | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
The States say that is not the case. They say it is unlikely there is a | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
relationship between seaweed and cockle deaths. We do see the DAI | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
Office of various species on the beach. More often it is called -- | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
caused by weather conditions. That stirs the sediment and sometimes | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
the thing that live in the sediment can get exposed and they can die | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
off. At the moment, we have no evidence the two are linked. | :11:12. | :11:21. | |
Good evening. Plenty more fine weather to come throughout much of | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
the rest of this week. Things turn unsettled as we head into the | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
weekend. For the time being, we have this high pressure dominating, | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
keeping things fairly quiet and settled. By lunchtime tomorrow, | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
there is a weather front close by. It becomes a very weak feature | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
indeed their own. Not more than a little bit of cloud associated with | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
that. By Friday, we have another weather front which will head | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
towards us. Generally, not changing our weather until the weekend. | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
Tonight will be dry with clear spells. A little cooler than of | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
late. Temperatures down to 11 Celsius. We could see some fog | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
patches by the end of the night. They could be slow to clear that | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
they will do eventually with some brighter weather pairing. 19 | :12:19. | :12:29. | |

Celsius is the top temperature For the surface, there is a little | :12:53. | :13:02. | |
bit of a swirl around at the moment. -- Sir first. For Friday, Ana the | :13:02. | :13:08. |
