Good evening. channel. Now it's time tg | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Good evening. Not providing a good enough service | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
has cost Guernsey's bus operator nearly ?80,000 over the last year. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
When it misses targets, the States can penalise the company CT Plus by | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
reducing its subsidy. And in the past year, it has done so every | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
month bar one. Busy buses, and a service rtnning | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
smoothly. Today, at least. Because the same can't be said for `ll of | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
the past year. Last summer was really the low point for CT Plus. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
When so many services didn't run, the States started to penalhse them | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
financially. Something that's happened for 11 out of the last 12 | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
months. To be fair to CT Plts, the rules were tough. Unless 100% of | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
services ran, the Environment Department was able to issud service | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
credits, essentially reducing the money they get from the States. Last | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
June, when they only operatdd 9 .5% of buses, it cost them nearly | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
?70,000. After which, things did get better. But with just 99.86$ of | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
services running from July to December, and 99.96 this ye`r, it | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
still has cost them more th`n ?7,000. With the total for the year | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
coming to ?76,679, or nearlx 4% of the money they get from the States. | :01:21. | :01:31. | |
They completely accepted it was down to them to correct the problems | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
They took the penalties on the chin, and now the service is | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
reasonable. How close were reduced to saying enough is enough? Very | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
close indeed. Had it not improved, I am sure I would have termin`ted the | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
contract. Most of that monex has been reinvested into the buses, but | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Environment get to say what it's spent on, rather than CT Plts. | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
Financially, it hurt, everybody knows it hurts when you get fined. | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
But it makes you focus and helps you deliver a better service. Now into | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
the next year of its contract, the slate's essentially been wiped | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
clean, and the threat of financial penalties each month lifted. But the | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
pressure to maintain a good, reliable service will remain. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
And there's much more on th`t story on BBC Radio Guernsey's bre`kfast | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
show tomorrow morning from 7am. A 23`year`old man from Guernsey has | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
been charged with assaulting a police officer, using or threatening | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
violence and escaping custody after an incident on the Bridge on | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Saturday night. Nathan Terrx Thomson of the Vale was remanded in custody | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
and will appear at the Magistrates Court again on Thursday. Two other | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
people were arrested after the incident. | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
The highest`paid States of Jersey employees took home more th`n ? 5.5 | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
million between them last ydar. The latest States accounts show the top | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
195 earners earned more than ?100,000 a year, including pensions | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
and other benefits. Last ye`r's number was a slight fall on 201 , | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
when 198 civil servants werd earning the higher salaries. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
Guernsey's Chief Minister s`ys this week's European elections whll have | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
repercussions for the Bailiwick Jonathan Le Tocq says Guernsey will | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
be keeping an eye on the gahns made by populist and anti`EU parties | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
such as UKIP in the UK. It follows calls by the UK Prime Minister David | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Cameron for a reform of the European Union in response to voters' | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
concerns. Deputy Le Tocq insists the joint Channel Islands Brussdls | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Office will offer the islands the opportunity for dialogue. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
A service dedicated to helphng separated Jersey families is to | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
close at the end of next month. Milli's Child Contact Centrd | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
provides a place for childrdn to meet the parent they don't live | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
with. But a change of locathon means several volunteers can't continue. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
James travels from London to Jersey just for the opportunity to spend a | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
few hours with his children. He comes to Milli's as it's a neutral | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
ground for families likes hhs that are going through divorce. Without | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
this place, I could not havd seen my children. It was my last ditch | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
attempt to see them, becausd every other type of contact had bden | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
blocked. It offered a lifelhne, they offered a chance to spend thme with | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
my boys. Milli's was set up in 000 and on average helps 60 famhlies a | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
year. Every Sunday, they're based here at Bel Royal School, btt the | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
planned move to Springfield School in four weeks may not happen. Those | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
in charge don't have enough staff to carry on, despite there being a huge | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
demand. Unfortunately, it h`s two shot. When you are dealing with | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
children, you have got to go through the training and have the correct | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
number of staff on duty to dnsure their well`being and safety. We | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
cannot operate. Denise was `warded an MBE in 2010 for voluntarx service | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
to children. Not only does the charity desperately need volunteers | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
and relevant training, but `lso some funds for equipment storage. | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
Jersey's Health and Social Services Department say... | :05:15. | :05:24. | |
For parents like James, the work begins on trying to find a new | :05:25. | :05:30. | |

Taylor has been captaining Dngland in the Indoor Netball World | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Championships in South Africa. Indoor netball is played in a netted | :06:05. | :06:08. | |

final today, but they lost by 4 goals to 30. | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
Holly has the weather, the National forecast follows. Good night. | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
A fair amount of cloud todax. Tonight, more of the same, `nd the | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
cloud continues to stream in tomorrow. Sunny spells at thmes The | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
risk of a shower, but mostlx a dry picture. We have got the cloud | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
moving across us, and it continues to feed down as we head through | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
tonight. One or two showers possible, but mostly dry. Tomorrow | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
starts fairly cloudy, but wd should see some brightness coming through | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
at times. We have got the shallow risk, but you would be unlucky to | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
catch one. Thursday brings lore cloud, and the risk of some patchy | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
rain. There is some uncertahnty at the moment. Friday looks brhghter | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
with sunny spells, with the risk of the odd shower. Saturday is warmer | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
with sunshine. It is goodbyd from us. I leave you with the sulmary | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
said tomorrow. Thursday and then it bdcomes draer | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
with sunshine by the weekend. If you've been sat at home with | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
miserable Mayweather today wondering why on earth we didn't go abroad for | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
half term week, we are just going to add insult to injury because people | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
have been basking in some sunshine across southern Spain. Fairly | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
overcast skies in Paris but nevertheless, still 17 degrees. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Across eastern England it was cold, 13 degrees with persistent rain | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Better across the north-west Highlands. The reason for the cloud | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
and rain was this frontal system, rather breezy as well. The rain | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
continues through the night, some a bit heavy to the east of the | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Pennines. Another miserable day in prospect particularly for eastern | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
England. Cloudy, grey and breezy. Pretty wet to start the day | :08:25. | :08:25. |
