Good evening. Channel, but now on BBC | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Protected areas of Jersey's countryside could be turned | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
into housing estates as the demand for affordable housing incrdases. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
States members today debated whether to building | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
There are also plans to build on sites in St Helier. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
BBC Jersey's politics reporter Chris Rayner joined me | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Well, the Housing Minister has said over 800 families are | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
in urgent need of a home and the States has to build more. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Over 3,000 homes will be nedded before the end of 2020, | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
and most will be provided on States`owned land, like here | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
at the former Jersey Collegd for Girls? site, the ambulance station | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
But those sites wouldn't provide enough space though, will they? | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
No, and much of the debate centred on four privately owned are`s in St | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
They are former greenhouse sites and, | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
although they look very derdlict, they can't be built on as they are | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Two of the sites are in the parish of St Clement and the const`ble was | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
passionate in urging politicians not to support plans to turn thd two | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
former glass house sites in the countryside into hundreds of homes. | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
I hope members can be in no doubt that many residents are becoming | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
more and more distressed about development that is occurring, and | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
has occurred in the parish, and even more by some of the totally | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
inappropriate styles of devdlopment that has been permitted in some | :01:34. | :01:34. | |
cases. Well, they did decide to buhld | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
on the larger site in That could provide up to 200 homes | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
and was described by planning inspectors as the best site | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
for new houses being put forward. But, the other site, Le Quesne's | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
Nurseries, won't be built on. They'll continue to debate | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
the other two sites tomorrow and then on whether to approve | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
the Island Plan as a whole. Just a day | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
after Jersey voted to ban sloking in cars carrying children, Guernsey and | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Alderney could be following suit. The ban is just one idea behng | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
considered in an attempt to halve the number of smokers in thd island, | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
as Mike Wilkins reports. Is it fair to smoke | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
in a car carrying children? Well, the States of Guernsex thinks | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
it's not and is proposing to ban it, along with a number | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
of other measures to discourage smoking such as preventing smoking | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
in outside eating areas. More than 10% of people in Guernsey | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
and Alderney smoke, causing around The government wants to mord than | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
halve the number of smokers There are proposals to incrdase the | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
duty year on year on these products. There are also suggestions | :02:48. | :02:59. | |
to make it mandatory to What do people | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
on the street think should be done I definitely think you should ban | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
smoking in cars with childrdn It is difficult to | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
say how to stop it. I think these new fake | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
cigarettes seem a good idea. When you have got little onds in the | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
car, I am definitely against that. But is this an attack | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
on smokers? freedom of choice? The woman leading | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
the project makes no apologhes. Smoking is still pretty much | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
the main cause of premature death I make no apologies for foctsing | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
on tobacco control. Duty`free discounts can makd | :03:46. | :03:56. | |
tobacco even more affordabld. Yesterday, Jersey politicians voted | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
42`4 in favour of banning sloking If that's reflected | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
in public opinion in Guernsdy, then this consultation is likely to lead | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
to more restrictions on smokers Army officers are | :04:13. | :04:22. | |

our requirements. It's good for the community, it | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
supports local clubs, good training for the soldiers, excellent PR, and | :05:06. | :05:09. | |

have been waiting a long tile for. We have had an injection | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
of cash into this area. We can't train here and we have | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
to go to England all the tile. But if we have it here, it will cut | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
down the cost of going to England all the time and we will have good | :05:37. | :05:40. | |

again from 6am. Hello, good evening. We havd got | :05:56. | :06:18. | |
temperatures on the rise ovdr the next two days. Certainly a hot day | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
tomorrow with temperatures tp to 27 degrees, but at the same tile the | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
risk of some thunderstorms `re developing. Tonight it is mhsty and | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
the low cloud will be around first thing tomorrow morning. Hot and | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
sunny into the early evening. If you shop showers developing and the risk | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
of thunder and lightning. The mist and fog becoming widespread tonight, | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
so a murky start to the day tomorrow, and temperatures starting | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
at around 15 degrees. That low cloud will move out of the way, ldaving | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
strong sunshine and an eastdrly breeze. Foundry showers devdloping | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
to the south`west into the dvening. The showers continue into the | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
weekend. Friday will be mainly dry with the small chance of a feud | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
showers. Slightly cooler into the weekend, but equally the risk of | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
some sharp downpours. Good night. towards Saturday morning. ime to | :07:20. | :07:35. | |

The heat is set to build and the humidity will be rising, and for the | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
