The Commodore Clipper ran an extra service yesterday, but technical problems with its public address system saw it being delayed while that was dealt with.

Yesterday afternoon Route de Lihou, St Peter’s, was closed between its junction with Rue du Longfrie and Rue des Grandes Rue due to a collapsing retaining wall.
