Dog care training field must 'cease' after planning appeal loss
'Nine-month compliance'
Planning authorities said: "While the inspector acknowledged that the facility is professionally managed and meets a demand for dog care services, he concluded that these benefits did not outweigh the clear policy conflicts. "The site is identified as good quality agricultural land the loss of which could only be justified in exceptional circumstances under the policies set out in the Island Plan."It added: "The appeal against the refusal of retrospective planning permission to change the use of the field for a dog care and training centre has also been dismissed, and the enforcement notice upheld but with a revised nine-month compliance period."

Leo Seeker, written by Simon Applegate, shines a light on the emergency services in the islands through it's characters, with Leo being a small search and rescue plane from Guernsey.A share of proceeds from the book sales will go to Channel Islands Air Applegate said he hoped "to create an awareness of the service because we are a voluntary service and entirely dependent on the generosity of Channel Islanders". Leo Seeker works with friends from Jersey, France and Alderney to rescue those in difficulty at other characters are Albert, the red French helicopter, Mona, the green and orange lifeboat, Christine, the ambulance boat and the blue and orange lifeboats of the Channel Islands also feature. The first book Meet Leo was launched in 2022 and the second More Stories about Leo was launched in 2023. All the stories are based upon real-life rescues carried out by the Channel Islands Air Search. "Create an awareness" Mr Applegate said: "I have been a member of Channel Islands Air Search since it started in 1980, so 45 years ago, and I flew as a pilot for air search for 28 years."Between us all we thought well... the stories are worth telling and I decided in my retirement I would pick up my pen and have a go at writing it up."

Fire safety plans for Jersey residents living in tall buildings
Islanders living in tall buildings in Jersey are set to be consulted on proposals which experts say will improve safety. The Government of Jersey said there were more than 125 tall residential buildings on the island, towering 11m (36ft) or more, which housed thousands of home owners and said proposed fire safety regulations would implement some of the key recommendations from the Grenfell Tower phase one inquiry report, aimed at maintaining and improving of Jersey Fire and Rescue Service area commander, Jason Masterman, said the regulations would ensure self-closing fire doors and smoke control systems were "regularly checked and maintained". He added: "Residents will also receive clear fire safety information, and our crews will have access to simple accurate building floor plans and signposting to help them respond more effectively in emergencies"A total of 72 people, including 18 children, died in the Grenfell Tower fire which happened on 14 June in for Justice and Home Affairs, Deputy Mary Le Hegarat, said: "Thankfully, no similar fires have occurred here, but that does not mean we should not seek to make the places where so many islanders live as safe as possible."Approximately 19% of Jersey's tall residential buildings are estimated to be closely meeting the English regulatory requirements, with some others partially achieving them." Officials said while there had been no "significant evidence of excessive fire risk", the island's tall buildings, as a group, were at risk of falling behind similar buildings in England in three areas included the frequency of routine key fire safety checks, the provision of fire safety instructions to residents and the quality of building information provided to the fire said there was currently no dedicated Jersey fire safety law which required the buildings to manage and maintain their fire safety measures on an ongoing Hegarat added: "Creating regulations to implement some of the key building fire safety recommendations from the Grenfell Tower phase one inquiry report is a logical and sensible step in the light of the inquiry's findings."
