:05:19. > :05:31.during the rush hour This roundabout is a nightmare at
:05:32. > :05:34.best of times. This is nothing to what it normally is. This is like a
:05:35. > :05:38.Sunday afternoon. In the mornings, is horrendous and now with an extra
:05:39. > :05:42.volume of traffic, it is a nightmare.
:05:43. > :05:47.We have they considered the main diversion ropes. The main diversion
:05:48. > :05:52.routes are five dogs and Queens Road. We have chosen a 90 keyname
:05:53. > :05:55.starch to avoid the morning rush hour, both school and commuter
:05:56. > :06:00.traffic. The evening peak is over a longer period. There will be an
:06:01. > :06:04.impact. It is obvious when you take a main arterial route out, there
:06:05. > :06:06.will be an impact, but we're trying minimise it as much as we can.

:08:05. > :08:06.It's an absoutely fantastic fit, it's very exciting.
:08:07. > :08:09.Here we are in this little island in the middle of the English Channel
:08:10. > :08:13.and here we are right in the middle of Africa and we're flying the flag

:08:48. > :08:55.Saint Saviour's reservoir is one of 17 storage reservoirs that we've got
:08:56. > :09:02.and it is only about a quarter of our total storage capacity. As I
:09:03. > :09:07.say, we are at 79% fall across all of those storage resources. We are
:09:08. > :09:09.reasonably comfortable for this time of year.
:09:10. > :09:11.After last week hearing about the record dry weather
:09:12. > :09:14.and those pictures of Guernsey's reservoir, today it's been rather
:09:15. > :09:16.damp in the islands which should keep the growers happy,
