:00:20. > :00:25.Government safety campaigns the average number of incidents hasn't
:00:26. > :00:27.reduced in a decade. The figures come from a UK consultant who is
:00:28. > :00:34.helping Jersey's Transport Department develop a new ro`d safety
:00:35. > :00:37.strategy. Three people died on Jersey's roads last year, including
:00:38. > :00:42.at Victoria Avenue where a xoung driver was killed. And here at Mont
:00:43. > :00:47.Bingham where a tourist died in a cycling accident. This report shows
:00:48. > :00:49.in Jersey between 2003 and 2011 there were on average 45 de`ths or

:01:27. > :01:31.roads. Casualty rates amongst cyclists are 42% higher in Jersey
:01:32. > :01:35.than on the mainland. The l`st three years there has been a small
:01:36. > :01:41.increase and our figures ard relatively small, but there is a
:01:42. > :01:45.general increase. Because cxclists, and motorcyclists are much lore

:02:26. > :02:28.accident waiting to happen. The report called Jersey's high casualty
:02:29. > :02:34.numbers a major cause for concern. That will come as no surprise to
:02:35. > :02:38.some. Within a decade it could cost
:02:39. > :02:42.Guernsey States ?95 million a year more to maintain existing sdrvices.
:02:43. > :02:47.And the Government is considering all options to fill that shortfall.
:02:48. > :02:51.Penny Elderfield reports. Ghve it another ten years and things will
:02:52. > :02:54.have changed a fair bit herd. The ageing population means the number
:02:55. > :02:58.of people working and paying tax is expected to fall. The cost of
:02:59. > :03:02.providing services like health and pensions will only go the other way.
:03:03. > :03:07.And now the States has workdd out how much it could cost them. As the
:03:08. > :03:11.working population declines it is estimated by 2025 tax paid to the
:03:12. > :03:17.States could drop by up to ?21 million. At the same time the amount
:03:18. > :03:23.Guernsey needs to spend could increase by ?95 million. And for the
:03:24. > :03:32.States it is clear doing nothing about it is not an option. Hf these
:03:33. > :03:39.challenges are right, we ard better to take action now and make

:04:03. > :04:07.from 65 up to 67 ending up hn 2 31 and our modelling is looking at the
:04:08. > :04:12.possibility or probability that that will move further from 67 up to 70.
:04:13. > :04:16.The States should have firm plans by the end of the year and by taking
