Jersey. The Alliance supermarket Jersey. The Alliance superm`rket

group which already sells Tesco group which already sells Tdsco

:00:13.:00:15.

products in its Guernsey store, has been given a licence to trade in

:00:16.:00:22.

Jersey. It plans to open before the end of the year, creating about

:00:23.:00:23.

thirty jobs. Clare Burton has more. thirty jobs. Clare Burton h`s more.

:00:24.:00:28.

It's a globally recognised name And it's coming to Jersey. Tesco

:00:29.:00:32.

products will soon be on sale in new supermarkets cold Alliance ` like

:00:33.:00:37.

this one in Guernsey. The arrangement saw profits there soar `

:00:38.:00:41.

and the company is looking to repeat that success in Jersey. We were

looking at a variety of ways to bring better value and quality to

bring better value and qualhty to the islanders of Guernsey sometime

ago, we got talking with Tesco and started selling the products six

:01:01.:01:01.

months ago. The reception h`s been months ago. The reception has been

back to Jersey. The first Jdrsey back to Jersey. The first Jdrsey

:01:08.:01:11.

store will be open before the end of the year, and talks are unddrway for

:01:12.:01:15.

a second site, which could be as large as the biggest existing island

:01:16.:01:18.

supermarkets such as Waitrose or the Co`op. Evidence suggests consumers

:01:19.:01:35.

will exercise the increased choice. Tesco may increase choice ` but the

:01:36.:01:39.

brand can be controversial. So how do shoppers feel about another big

:01:40.:01:45.

UK name in the island? I have just been to the UK recently, and the

:01:46.:01:50.

products are quite cheap. I think it is a very good idea. I am all for

:01:51.:01:55.

products coming onto the island that ordinary people can have bored.

:01:56.:01:59.

Prices on Jersey are far too expensive, there are far too many

:02:00.:02:08.

monopolies. Bosses insist the name above the door will remain that of

:02:09.:02:12.

the local company, Alliance. But the name on everyone's lips will be

:02:13.:02:15.

Tesco ` and if local shoppers follow the trend the world over, it could

:02:16.:02:19.

become one of the biggest names in Channel islands retail.

:02:20.:02:22.

Tonight Tesco in the UK say their food is already proving verx popular

:02:23.:02:25.

with customers in Guernsey, and are confident it will enjoy similar

:02:26.:02:26.

confident it will enjoy simhlar success in Jersey. It comes just

:02:27.:02:30.

months after a retail survey found grocery shopping in Jersey was

:02:31.:02:31.

significantly more expensive grocery shopping in Jersey was

:02:32.:02:32.

significantly more expensivd than significantly more expensive than

:02:33.:02:33.

the UK. Earlier Jersey's Economic Development Minister Senator Alan

:02:34.:02:36.

McLean told me what Tesco brings to the island. It was identified in the

:02:37.:02:43.

the island. It was identifidd in the grocery port that there was a

:02:44.:02:51.

requirement for more choice. `` grocery report. From a consumer

:02:52.:02:55.

point of view, this is a welcome move to drive prices down and

:02:56.:02:59.

increase choice. Friends and family gathered today for the funeral of

:03:00.:03:02.

Colin Chevalier ` who was murdered in St Helier last month. Thd

:03:03.:03:03.

in St Helier last month. The 46`year`old was found dead hn his

:03:11.:03:12.

Guernsey's working population has reduced according to new figures out

:03:13.:03:15.

today. The annual population bulletin shows that last March there

:03:16.:03:18.

were 500 fewer people of working age in the island compared with the same

:03:19.:03:21.

time the year before. The idea of a free bus servhce

time the year before. The idea of a free bus service in

Guernsey is back on the table ` albeit temporarily. After another

:03:26.:03:27.

day of debate the States sthll day of debate the States still

:03:28.:03:30.

haven't approved a new transport strategy for the Island. Having

:03:31.:03:36.

yesterday voted to charge fhfty pence for buses they today agreed to

needs to sort out. The Statds want to encourage people to ditch their

:03:52.:03:55.

cars ` and onto other modes of transport. The problem is there are

:03:56.:04:02.

too many conflicting ideas about transport. The problem is there are

:04:03.:04:03.

too many conflicting ideas `bout how to do it. And that's left the States

:04:04.:04:07.

literally going round and round in circles all day. We have been 700

:04:08.:04:10.

circles all day. We have bedn 7 0 hours debating this. It is a very

:04:11.:04:11.

hours debating this. It is ` very difficult topic. So where are we

:04:12.:04:17.

now? The idea of a free bus service is back ` for 18 months at least `

:04:18.:04:19.

after which the 50 pence ch`rge is back ` for 18 months at least `

for by paid parking, although there was lots talk about whether that

:04:27.:04:29.

element of the report could still get chucked out. And lots of concern

:04:30.:04:36.

the whole strategy could. There is a risk. It would be very

disappointing, sending it very disappointing, sending it vdry

here we are again, risking going back to the old regime, where

decisions are deferred, things are kicked down the road. And if when

they go to the final vote it does get thrown out... At the very end of

the day, I will just continue, I the day, I will just continte, I

:05:06.:05:08.

will still put out to tender for a bus service and I will come back

:05:09.:05:11.

with a revised, improved bus service, which will cost more money

:05:12.:05:14.

and I will ask for more mondy at and I will ask for more money at
