A motion to stop public sector workers in Jersey being offered special housing qualifications as part of a job package will be debated by politicians in September, external.

Currently a minister can grant States workers "entitled" housing status, external on an exceptional basis. The housing qualification allows them to buy property and work without restrictions, something most people coming to the island have to wait 10 years for.

When the new head of Jersey's civil service, Charlie Parker, got his job he was given entitled Status "in the interest of the community", which caused outcry from some politicians.

Deputy Jess Perchard, who put the matter forward for debate, says this rule was aimed at encouraging high value residents to the island and was not intended to be for civil servants.

She wants to change the law so they cannot be offered as part of a job package to States workers, and that it has to be signed off by a committee rather than an assistant chief minister alone.

Deputy Perchard says this would make the process more "transparent and consistent".

More than £25,000 of taxpayers' money was spent on investigating a planning application at a tourist attraction, a Freedom of Information request has revealed, external.

The money paid for work by the independent planning inspector on the application at Tamba Park, whose owners wanted to build 27 self-catering units in St Lawrence.

The costs include the inspector's services, flights and accommodation as well as other staff, equipment and venue hire.

Graham Self, the inspector, recommended the accommodation should go ahead - although the planning minister disagreed and refused the application, external.

The park's owner, Jonathan Ruff, says he is appealing the decision to reject his plans. He said if it had gone to the planning panel rather than the minister it might have been a different decision.

The States of Jersey has been approached for comment.

Two separate industries in Jersey have taken steps to train staff in order to address a skills and recruitment gap in the island.

Victoria Queree, owner of The Neon Salon and Schools, says it is "really hard" to recruit stylists in the island, and even launched her own apprentice training scheme two years ago.

She says since the start of 2017 almost 50 students have been through the programme, which could see "a really good bank of staff" in the future.

Similarly, a States funded body has started a "skills strategy" initiative to train the island's workforce and tackle a "gap" in digital skills.

Recently Tony Moretta, the head of Digital Jersey, said the island was suffering from "brain drain", with a "constant flow of talented people leaving to go to university".

He says he is concerned some businesses could leave the island to find the skilled workers they need, and some have even resorted to expanding in the UK, instead of Jersey.

As many as 22 homes could be built on the site, should an application be successfully made.

But a States spokesman said the exact number of houses to be built on the site will depend on the designs put forward.

The framework outlined "a number of concerns", according to States, including the capacity of St Martin's school, traffic and highway issues and the importance of the public car park.

Planning services says developments are expected to make "the most efficient and effective" use of land.

Plans are in place for a restaurant to open at Elizabeth Terminal by spring 2019, Ports of Jersey says.

Catering facilities at the port were criticised after people had to stay overnight on camp beds at the terminal because a flight and ferry were cancelled on Friday.

The cafe and bar at the terminal closed unexpectedly in November 2013 and Ports of Jersey has since admitted it has been empty for far longer than originally expected.

Plans almost came to fruition in January to open a restaurant at the site, but were scrapped after a breakdown in relationship between Ports of Jersey and the prospective tenant.

Condor Ferries operates regular passenger and car ferry services from the terminal.

An Asian hornet nest has been found in the roof of a flat in Jersey, according to the island's environment department.

A former drug addict who now gives talks about recovering from addiction in Guernsey says the island's current drug policy is "outdated".

Russell Le Conte said the current system of treating addiction as a criminal problem, rather than a medical issue could be making the problem worse.

"It doesn't reflect the true nature of addiction, the causes behind it and the ways to escape from it.

"I firmly believe the punitive measures, while they have their place, can serve to strengthen addiction rather than reduce it."

The States of Guernsey said it has brought forward a review of the island's current drug and alcohol strategy.

A spokesman said the government would look to form a substance misuse strategy in 2019 after a full assessment of substance misuse in Guernsey and Alderney, which may include looking at "the different approaches and criminal justice regimes of other jurisdictions".

Bin night for thousands of Guernsey homes will change in two weeks' time, according to the States.

A government spokesman said the new services were the biggest change to household waste collections since the introduction of kerbside recycling in 2014.

He added clear bags, for paper and card, and blue bags for cans, plastic and cartons, will continue to be collected on alternate weeks, island-wide, under the new system.

Information packs will be delivered to all Guernsey households later.

On clear bag weeks, households in St Sampson and St Peter Port will also have a collection of food waste and glass recycling. All other parishes will have a collection of food waste and general refuse.

For blue bags weeks, the collection will switch to food waste and general refuse in St Peter Port and St Sampson's, and food waste and glass in all other parishes.

Current collection nights still stay the same in Castel, Vale, Torteval, St Saviour's, and Forest, but all other parishes will see some changes.
