All States schools and the College of Further Education will remain closed tomorrow, it has been announced.

The Education Department says its decision follows adice from the Police, States Works and others about the state of the roads, pavements and, in particular, dangerous trees and debris still littering most parts of the Island.

'These conditions are unprecedented,' said the department in a statement.

Although some low-lying schools might be clear tomorrow, the department said it believed that 'an early, consistent message out to parents/staff now is a better solution and will allow all sufficient time to plan for tomorrow.'

The situation regarding opening on Thursday will be reviewed tomorrow lunchtime at a meeting between the department and the emergency and other services.
