Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Jersey's Environment Minister has refused a planning application | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
There were some issues around design and the inspector said and I agreed | :00:17. | :00:28. | |
that the shape of the building did not sit together very well. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Good evening and welcome to the late news from BBC | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Costly and controversial but effective at reducing speeding | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
Plans for a new secondary school on fields in Les Quennevais | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
The Environment Minister believes the scheme - | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
on farmland near the airport - goes against guidelines | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
This application came down to three things. | :00:56. | :01:08. | |
Was the school needed, what with the impact be on the local | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
area and should be built on green field site? | :01:12. | :01:23. | |
There was some good news, the school was needed and could be built on the | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
site, but there were concerns about the design of the building. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
It is a ?40 million project, covering 11,000 square | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
metres, but these images now might become a reality as planning | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
permission for a new school in Le Quennevais has been rejected. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
I don't think it's very good because a lot | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
of my friends went to Les Quennevais said it was crowded and didn't have | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
I have kids who would have gone to that | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
school they were older and I think a new and better school should be | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
We do need a new school, we have an ever-growing population, I'm | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
sure they have their reasons, whatever they are, it will have to | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
The minister's decision was based on a report | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
compiled by an independent planning inspector, during a public enquiry | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
In that report, the inspector concluded he had | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
considerable reservations about the site layout. | :02:14. | :02:25. | |
They also the design of the proposed building would not be satisfactory, | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
raising concerns about the building's shape, finishing material | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
and colours. A modified application is said to be close to approval. | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
You'll likely will discuss what the concerns that what the design, we | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
will redesign that and will at the situation with regards to traffic, | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
then re-design that as well. A new design for the school could be put | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
together in as little as six weeks. The man who would make a decision on | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
any future planning application is this man. What we remain concerned | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
about the design of the There were issues and are design. The inspector | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
found and I agree that the shape of the building just did not sit | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
together very well. It's a large building, as we know, and the | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
various sheiks did not sit together very well. They were not visually | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
pleasing. Never concerned about the finishes and the colour of the | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
building as well. This is really important, we want to get it as best | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
we can and its need to sit on the landscape in the best way we can | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
find. You mentioned any statement released today that you will be | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
working with the infrastructure and education departments on any future | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
proposals. We have already had a public enquiry. Why won't issues | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
around the design and art before this? There were a lot of issues, | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
the main one being the monument and early about the being on a green | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
zone. Those issues have been resolved and unhappy about that. But | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
we do need to work harder on this application because it is an | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
important school and everyone needs to be proud of what we're going to | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
put on this site. My department will continue to give pre-application | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
device to infrastructure and I'm very happy that we will come up with | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
a fantastic building in the future. Thank you. The education Department | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
have not told me today that they are hopeful a new school could be opened | :04:29. | :04:29. | |
by 2020. A business in St Peter Port | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
was raided in connection with money A woman was arrested yesterday | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
at the offices of Immuno Biotech - which distributed | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
the unlicensed blood product GC MAF | :04:40. | :04:40. | |
before it was outlawed - while a man was arrested | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
at a separate location. Police officers removed a number | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
of items for further examination. Guernsey's Economic Crime Division | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
is leading the investigation, The number of drivers caught | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
speeding in a Jersey village has of a controversial | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
traffic-calming measure. The speed bump in St Mary has been | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
criticised for being confusing - Who would've thought a raised bit | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
of granite could cause such a fuss? This speed bump in St Mary was built | :05:11. | :05:21. | |
just under two years ago as part So unpopular, it's even been | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
the victim of vandalism. But could new figures turn it | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
from victim to hero? Since its completion, | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
speeding offences in the parish have fallen - | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
from 155 in 2015 Will that make people | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
finally warm to the quarter It's a lot of money spent and could | :05:42. | :05:56. | |
have been done a different way and cost a lot less. The chicane at | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
Saint Martin's, I would think, is much more effective and much | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
lacking, confusing. I think it could've been done differently to | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
achieve better results. It works, but it is a very expensive bit of | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
work. But the department behind | :06:12. | :06:11. | |
the work credits the bump with helping reduce the number | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
of drivers caught speeding. The only way which will | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
bring it down to zero is active policing, so that's police | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
being out there as much as possible. That's a stretch for the honoraries | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
and the States police to do with the size of the island | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
and the resources they've got, so it takes some pro-active measures | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
form the drivers themselves. So while it'll take more policing | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
and a change in driver attitude to end speeding completely, | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
this bump in the road has helped - even if that hasn't | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
helped its popularity. Lots of you have been getting | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
in touch with the BBC today Julie believes it's still a waste | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
of money and that the number of drivers caught speeding depend | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
on the number of speed checks the police do | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
so might not be relevant. Peter simply says the changes | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
were a waste of money and have Paul however likes the new layout | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
and that if people didn't speed in the first place they wouldn't | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
have to use such measures. Finally, Tel is worried | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
about people on the outskirts of St Helier driving too fast | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
on country lanes. If you wish to comment on that | :07:18. | :07:23. | |

a petition against the move. The red oak planting ceremony | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
