:05:22. > :05:25.to process it. Then everyond would have two renew their parking clock
:05:26. > :05:33.every year. Any decisions m`de today will not happen overnight. The

:06:32. > :06:35.intervene in a Jersey plannhng row. Proposals to turn the Catholic
:06:36. > :06:37.church in Gorey Village into houses and parking has upset
:06:38. > :06:39.the local congregation. And one campaigner has turndd to
:06:40. > :06:56.the Vatican for help. It is not every day you write a
:06:57. > :07:00.letter to the Pope, but that is what Fraser Martin is doing. He has been
:07:01. > :07:06.campaigning to stop plans to demolish a disused church to make
:07:07. > :07:11.way for two houses with our king. I think as far as asking any darthly
:07:12. > :07:21.authority, I have gone to the highest. I have every confidence
:07:22. > :07:28.that I will get a response from the Pope because I feel that wh`t I am
:07:29. > :07:32.doing is right. This building in Gorey Village was originallx a
:07:33. > :07:37.chapel. It came a cinema and then in the 1950 is a catholic church, but
:07:38. > :07:45.it was close last year. Now the Catholic Church wants to turn the
:07:46. > :07:49.land into two houses. And it is redundant and it is being dhsposed
:07:50. > :07:55.of in the normal way. We ard seeking planning position to allow the sale
:07:56. > :08:02.to go ahead. As a charity, we have two get the best we can get from the
:08:03. > :08:08.land. The architect behind the plans does not think they are
:08:09. > :08:11.controversial and believes they will improve the village, but a petition
:08:12. > :08:22.against the plans is growing here. We have 159 signatures. People like
:08:23. > :08:28.Fraser thinks that the plans are out of touch. I don't think the plans
:08:29. > :08:34.will be passed. As I have s`id before, I would chain my self to the
:08:35. > :08:43.railings on the developers love in. `` chain myself. No decision has yet
:08:44. > :08:48.been made and as Fraser posted his letter to the Vatican, he hopes that

:18:29. > :18:31.It's a larger board, which weighs 6kgs, or 13lbs,

:23:32. > :23:36.today, we have seen some decent spells of sunshine, a littld bit of
:23:37. > :23:40.cold which has developed here, a fine end to the day. With the light
:23:41. > :23:48.winds, we will see some mist and fog patches forming. There is some risk
:23:49. > :23:56.of kill fog. In the north, ` bit more cloud arriving here. Locally,
:23:57. > :24:00.inland, a chilly night with temperatures down to five or six.
:24:01. > :24:07.First thing tomorrow, so early mist or fog. A bit of cloud towards the
:24:08. > :24:11.north coast. That should retreat into the afternoon. We could see a

:25:19. > :25:22.Saturday afternoon. These locally could be heavy but, again, we're
:25:23. > :25:28.looking at decent sunny spells. On Sunday, it bit of a question as to
:25:29. > :25:31.what happens through the dax, but we will see increasing amounts of cloud
:25:32. > :25:35.coming in through the West. It is coming in with the weather front,
