Carrot, not stick is minister's way ahead on traffic

ENCOURAGEMENT, rather than legislation, is how Guernsey should get islanders walking and cycling more, Environment minister Roger Domaille has said.

The department is drawing up a new transport strategy.

Questionnaires have been sent to homes to get islanders' views and politicians are consulting with groups such as taxi drivers and the bus company.

Deputy Domaille, pictured, said the result of the consultation was not yet confirmed, but he hoped that there would be a greater focus on exercise.
