Call to change rules on over-55s housing
Freddie Miller
Broadcast Journalist BBC Radio Jersey
A politician is calling for a re-think, after the Jersey Homes Trust said it's had to turn house-hunters away from one of its developments because they're not old enough.
The planning department decided the social housing properties at the old Jersey College for Girls site - which is now called College Gardens - would only be offered to people over the age of 55.
Homes trust chairman Michael Van Neste says he's had to say no to people who otherwise tick all the boxes.
With more than 1,000 people on the States' housing waiting list, Senator Sarah Ferguson says officials should reconsider the age limit.

John Fernandez
BBC Radio Guernsey
He's probably in the most viewed local photo of the year, but Guernsey fire service crew commander Paul Bishop denies he's a "poster boy".
Mr Bishop said: "It was a large fire, that was a good photo, but there were a lot of guys on the ground working extremely hard. It was a massive team effort, we all worked very hard - it was a long day."
He said he had been getting "a lot of stick, [but] it's quite good fun".

Crew commander Paul Bishop said: "We brought the blaze under control within five minutes and we spent the time here, the next half hour, damping down.
"It did look like quite a large fire but obviously, with the fibreglass and things like that, it just looked a lot worse than it was."
He added: "A couple of gentlemen were recycling the boat using disc cutters and we think a stray spark caused the blaze."

Waste water station fully functioning after refurb

BBC News Online
Works to improve a waste water pumping station are nearing completion.
Guernsey Water said the station at the Richmond end of Vazon was now back in full operation.
The refurbishment started in November 2017 and involved
installing chemical resistant liners to five chambers, installing a third pump, and replacing power and control panels.
Quote Message: The refurbishment was necessary because of hydrogen sulphide within the sewage attacking the concrete structures and steel components - mainly the covers which have also been replaced. At the same time, we took the opportunity to enhance a ... motor control centre panel, which will help with blockage reduction and efficiency." from Mark Walker Capital Delivery Manager, Guernsey Water

He added the "severity" of the fire was "unknown" as yet.
Homes trust 'frustrated' over lack of tenants
BBC Radio Jersey
The chairman of the Jersey Homes Trust is "frustrated and disappointed" they haven't been able to rent some of the social housing at the former Jersey College for Girls site in St Helier.
There are more than 1,000 people on a States housing waiting list, but the trust has only been able to rent about half of the 40 properties.
The Planning Department decided they should only be for over-55s.
Michael van Neste said people were put off because not all the properties had parking and the building was on a hill.
It could take a year to establish whether two quarries in the Vale are suitable for the disposal of the island's inert waste, according to the lead civil servant for waste in Guernsey.
An environmental impact assessment will be carried out on both L'Epine and Guillotin quarries to conclude whether the areas are viable.
Richard Evans said a solution would be needed fairly quickly but the assessments would take about a year and then the report would have to go to the States for review.
Local residents and deputies have voiced concerns over the move, with Deputy Matt Fallaize labelling the investigations "a waste of time and money."
