Good evening. The Jersey Roxal Potato Company which grows `nd | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
supplies Jersey Royal potatoes has been sold to a UK firm. It's been | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
bought by Scottish`based Produce Investments for around ?15 lillion. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Edward Sault reports. The Jdrsey Royal Potato Company employs 50 | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
people at peak season in thd island, growing, grading, packing and | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
washing the iconic local export Now it has new owners. It h`s been a | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
vision for many years now that we as a company, a relatively small | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
company in real terms, are stuck on a rock, dealing with a seasonal | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
crop. To be part of a much larger entity makes more sense. Is it sad | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
in a way that a local firm hs no longer going to be locally owned? | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
You say it is not going to be locally owned and there is `n | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
element of truth in that, btt the company will remain as it is. | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Charlie Gallichan exports Jdrsey Royals independently, as well as | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
providing larger markets. It is going to represent a threat and an | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
opportunity, I guess. Time will tell which will be the stronger. We are | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
worried. We have seen other UK businesses come to Jersey. The farm | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
next door has been bought ott. We are going to have to work h`rd to | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
compete and fight to retain our local independents and independent | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
farming business. We are told that jobs are not at risk. Export markets | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
can be opened up. The message from bosses is that it is business as | :01:48. | :01:56. | |
usual. Guernsey's Fire and Rescue Service | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
wants to start charging bushnesses for some non`emergency servhces such | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
as building inspections which are currently offered free. But as Mike | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Wilkins reports, the need to make savings is forcing the fire service | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
to look for income elsewherd. Always there, ready to respond to an | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
emergency. This service will remain free. But when officers aren't | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
fighting fires, they could soon be finding finance. The fire and rescue | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
service is looking to start charging for things like testing companies | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
fire alarm systems and provhding fire safety consultancy for new | :02:27. | :02:36. | |
developments. Whenever we h`ve seen an increase in need, we havd asked | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
for more budget, demonstratdd the need and traditionally that is how | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
we function. But in these thmes of constraint, we have to look at doing | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
things in a more innovative way if you like. The law currently prevents | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
the fire and rescue service from charging for any of its services, so | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
the States will be asked next month to approve a change in legislation. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
It must be emphasised the proposed changes will not affect domdstic | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
households. Emergency call`outs and fire alarm assessments will still be | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
free of charge. If approved, this will mean an added cost for firms in | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
the island. The Home Departlent says the fire service could make about | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
?12,500 a year from providing services to businesses. A b`ttle | :03:20. | :03:31. | |
over who clears up after a landslide in Jersey has reached a stalemate. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Two years ago, a landslip ddstroyed a beach hut in Rozel. The woman who | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
owns it has been desperatelx trying to track down the owner of the land | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
and make the area safe. Sophie Sulehria reports. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
The precious blue heart before the landslide. As a child, mothdr and | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
grandmother, Diana spent evdry weekend at her precious blud beach | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
hut. My children grow up Dan there. My grandchildren have been dnjoying | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
it. They love it. The littld house. But then it went wrong and `ll | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
that's left of the little house is this. It was so sad, Sophie, to see | :04:09. | :04:19. | |
my hut smashed on the harbotr. Heavy rainfall in December, 2012, | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
destroyed her hut. Since thdn the owner hasn't cleared the fallen land | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
away. We have contacted all of the relevant states department but none | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
of them are able to do anything None of them are able to make this | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
man take responsibility. Di`na's not short of support in her fight, as | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
people in Rozel gather to show her. Including the deputy for Trhnity. | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
The bank could slide into the road and cause a lot of damage and a lot | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
of harm to people walking bx. Safety is a real concern when it comes to | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
the landslide because it is still moving and could end up in the | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
harbour. Diana wants to movd it herself but has been advised not to | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
encase she causes damage to other properties and then it would be her | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
responsibility. It is down to the owner to move it and so far they | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
have done nothing. All Dian` wants is to rebuild her beloved hdart and | :05:17. | :05:26. | |
bring her family here once `gain. `` beloveds hut. The BBC has rdpeatedly | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
tried to contact the owner of the land, a company called Gill Ltd but | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
without success. 18 people and families from the | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
Channel Islands are included in the Sunday Times Rich List this year | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
with a combined total of more than ?12 billion. The Barclay brothers | :05:44. | :05:46. | |

moneysupermarket.com founder Simon Nixon who's the richest entry for | :05:51. | :05:54. | |

the financial group Hargreaves Lansdown and a Guernsey reshdent, is | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
a new entry as the second rhchest in the Channel Islands with allost ?1.5 | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
billion. That is it from me. David h`s the | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
local forecast next and the national weather follows him. Good nhght | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
The weekend forecast looks very promising. The sun stays with us and | :06:20. | :06:29. | |
it is going to be warm sunshine too. Fine and dry and we should see | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
temperatures of 18, possiblx 19 degrees. Overnight, not a great deal | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
to spoil a fine end to the day. A few mist patches forming. Tomorrow, | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
we have got a reasonable dax. Patchy cloud will float by. It is ` lovely | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
day with plenty of blue sky and sunshine. Strong sunshine too with | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
temperatures from 16 on the coast to 18 or 19 in the land. A gentle | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
north`easterly breeze. Sund`y is very similar. A lot more cloud will | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
stop high`level cloud late hn the day making the sunshine hazx. On | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
Monday, more cloudy. Small chance of a few showers late in the d`y. The | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
real change comes on Tuesdax when we see some quite frequent showers | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
more of a breeze and the temperatures drop. The full forecast | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
for the UK coming up. From ts, good night. I leave you with a stmmary. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
chance for s(owers .ext week bup how far do you have to go to get proper | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
rain? Thomas has the answer. For days now, we have been | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
advertising some warm weather for the weekend and the forecast remains | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
unchanged. In fact, hot sunshine on the way for many of us and talking | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
about that, I would like to warn you how strong the Sunnis this time of | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
year. In spring, we tend to flock to the sun and burn very easily. It is | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
just as wrong as it is in July. Onto the forecast and for tonight, quiet | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
weather across most parts of the country. Just the few spots of rain | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
in the far north of the UK. A strong breeze as well. But other than that, | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
a benign night. Temperatures remaining mild. Starting with the | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
south of the country tomorrow, do not expect clear blue skies here. | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
Fairweather cloud will be building but already, at this stage, | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
temperatures around 16 degrees in the London area. This is | :08:38. | :08:38. |
