Guernsey employers encouraged to help staff ditch cars
The leaflet was created alongside the island's Health Improvement Commission and Admiral Park Plaza.The Better Journeys Project said it offered something for "every employer, large or small, public or private".
"We've had really positive feedback so far, especially about the table that breaks down all of the options," said Ms Bennett. "It clearly shows whether an option is taxable, whether it requires any payroll admin, who pays for repairs, and so on. "That's made it very easy for employers to see what would work best in their own setting."The leaflet is available at local local bike shops, GP surgeries, and at Beau Sejour Leisure Centre. A digital version can be downloaded from the Better Journeys Project website.

Request for Guernsey extension on French day-tripper scheme
A senior politician has written to the UK immigration minister about extending a scheme which allows French day-trippers to travel to Guernsey with ID Affairs president Deputy Marc Leadbeater also said as a jurisdiction, Guernsey remained committed to the implementation of the Electronic Travel Authorisation scheme (ETAs) with the Crown Dependencies now working towards joining the scheme in 2026."The introduction of ETAs will further enhance border security and aligns with our membership of the Common Travel Area," he said the new committee of home affairs had been briefed on the situation with ETAs and the French Identity Card Scheme. Leadbeater said the same approach has also been taken by Jersey to extend the day-tripper scheme."In the first instance, the committee has extended the Bailiwick's scheme until the end of the year," he have been in discussions with both Jersey and the Home Office, he said, which has resulted in him writing the UK immigration outlining the desire to continue with the scheme "providing it does not place our membership of the CTA at risk".He added: "The committee has emphasised the safeguards in place to mitigate any risk of abuse and can report that there have been no cases of non-compliance since the inception of the scheme in 2023."

Cimandis closure 'will hit all Alderney restaurants'
A restaurateur in Alderney has expressed her concerns about the closure of food wholesaler Cimandis. Gloria O'Toole, who runs Cantina, said it would affect her restaurant and "probably every business on the island".Cimandis announced on Monday that it would shut down its Guernsey operations with the loss of 39 jobs at the end of August, just weeks after closing its Jersey depot. The closure will also end Cimandis' services in Alderney, Herm and Sark. It put the decision down to rising shipping costs, increased rent, and the logistical challenges of operating in island markets. The news comes as the island prepares to host Alderney Week - its biggest event of the O'Toole said: "We might get away with Alderney Week. But after that we've got events, we've got Christmas parties, we've got Halloween we've got all these other things which we're not going to be able to discuss."If we get another supplier, we will get one order per week and that's not enough."We're all thinking 'what are we going to do? Where are we going to get our stuff from?'."Ms O'Toole suggested that the island might have to come together to create a co-operative to store goods but is still hoping that another business will step in."Somebody must see it as a business opportunity surely," she added. Cimandis has pledged to support customers during the transition, including running stock clearance sales to help food operators through the of Guernsey said Cimandis was a supplier for the Princess Elizabeth Hospital, the prison, and Alderney said "steps have been taken to ensure any disruption is minimised".
