The head of the Jersey Taxi Drivers Association has apologised for any disruption caused by this morning's protest.
Mick Tostevin says more than 100 drivers gathered at the Weighbridge to show their frustration at proposed changes the infrastructure minister wants to make to pay and conditions.
The protest caused a number of delays in St Helier with changes to a number of Liberty Bus services which couldn't travel down Snow Hill.
Quote MessageWe didn't know how many drivers wouldn't come out, I was surprised at how many did come out, it shows the strength of feeling. From our point of view it went very well. I know it is highly disruptive but I keep saying we are being pressurised into doing this.

Teaching unions say it's important staff feel they can speak out over planned changes to Guernsey's secondary education system.
The comments by NUT representative Sean McManus come after some teachers told BBC Radio Guernsey they felt they were subjected to a "gagging order" by the States.
A "staff engagement protocol" says staff can make their views public - but should not say anything that could appear to inhibit "loyal and effective service" to the States of Guernsey.
Education says this simply reminds teachers to express themselves in a professional manner and is not a gagging order.

A large beetle usually only found in the Mediterranean has been discovered in Jersey at the Norman Limited woodyard.
The Capricorn Beetle was discovered by Norman Limited employees near wood recently imported from Italy and will now be stored as a specimen at the Societe Jersiaise.
Roger Long, an inspect expert with the societe says it is a lone male unlikely to ever meet a female. He says he has killed it as there is no way of it reproducing.
Quote MessageIt is alone, it can't lay any eggs, it won't find a female over here and so has now found immortality in our collection.

Pedestrians and cyclists should limit how much time they spend in Jersey's tunnel and drivers should keep their windows closed, that's the advice from Jersey's environment department.
It comes after an air quality test found the quality at peak time was poor with the amount of pollution up to seven times higher than nearby Snow Hill.
Environmental Health will work with the Infrastructure Department to review signs for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians to include a clearer warning about pollution levels.

Licensing and safety training for leisure boat owners could be looked at by the authorities in Jersey.
Senator Lyndon Farnham, Economic Development, Sport and Culture Minister, said his department would review whether licencing should be introduced for all boat owners.
It follows an accident in St Brelade's Bay last weekend that led to a man suffering a "catastrophic, life-changing injury".
Senator Farnham said a review of how safety on beaches is enforced will start later this year.

Landlords in Jersey could be encouraged to accept families with children who apply to rent their properties.
Currently some refuse to accept children as they have had problems in the past that cost a lot of money to repair.
The comments came from Housing Minister, Deputy Anne Pryke, who is looking at reforms following issues raised by the Independent Care Inquiry.
Quote MessageWe can't tell landlords who they should have as a tenant but we can make sure landlords who operate as a business are encouraged to accept tenants with children.

A Nursing and Midwifery Council hearing in London today heard an apology from a Guernsey midwife to the parents of a baby who died on Loveridge Ward.
Lisa Granville said she "deeply regretted" her failure to follow up on the death of Baby A in 2014 at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital on 30 January 2014.
Speaking for the first time at the Nursing and Midwifery Council, Lisa Granville admitted she would have responded to the baby's death differently if a complete review had been made.
But she was adamant that the death of Baby B in September 2012 was properly investigated and defended the culture at the hospital, tagged by workers as the 'Guernsey Way'.

Jersey landlords say new laws aimed at improving rented housing in the island are simply unnecessary red tape.
The environment minister wants to bring all accommodation in the island up to a recognised standard of health and safety, to make sure tenants have a safe place to live in.
The laws would give housing officers authority to enter homes to check up on them and landlords would have to be licensed.
Robert Weston, president of the Jersey Landlords' Association, says no politicians have a mandate to increase red tape as they all stood on a platform to reduce it at the last election.

Jersey's freedom of information law could be extended to include any organisation that delivers functions on behalf of the States of Jersey.
Currently the law, first introduced in January 2015, covers the States of Jersey, States Police, Andium Homes, Ports of Jersey and the 12 parishes.
Image source, Science Photo LibraryPoliticians voted in 2014 to extend the law to all government owned companies including JT, Jersey Post, Jersey Development Company and others but the complexity of the move led to a number of delays.
Deputy Carolyn Labey asked the Chief Minister to explain why this still hasn't happened in a written question and he says it is because they plan to extend the law to a wider range of bodies.
This could include any group that is given a government grant or does work on behalf of the States including some based in other jurisdictions.
It's hoped a report will be published soon with more information.

A Guernsey lawyer is questioning the legality of cyclists riding two abreast on the island's narrow roads.
Thomas Crawfourd penned an article in Aurigny's in-flight magazine arguing that the Highway Code has only limited application in Guernsey and that while cyclists are allowed to ride two abreast, they should revert to single file around corners, or when cars want to overtake.
The article sparked a lively debate on the social media pages of the Guernsey Bicycle Group, with chairman Sam Field arguing due consideration and common sense should apply equally to all road users.

Despite a heavy workload politicians are still debating changes to the States of Jersey Police force law, particularly focusing on charging for some services.
If approved the police would be able to charge for a number of goods and services when policing major commercial events.
There has been a lot of criticism of the move from politicians speaking during the debate - particularly around the impact it will have on the parish run honorary police forces - which often send more staff to major events than the paid police.
The proposition also covers the introducing of independent custody visitors and allowing States employees and contractors to undertake police functions.
This is the first of 14 propositions members have to vote on during the last sitting before the summer recess.
