Elements of our ‘green future’ a safety concern

IN JUNE the Guernsey Press ran an article on their front page. It informed readers that sales of electric vehicles had more than tripled since 2020. The number of hybrid vehicles had also increased during that period, but not at quite the same rate. The article went on to tell us that in 2022 Guernsey was equal with Switzerland in seventh place on the list of European countries with the highest percentage of electrical vehicles. ‘Some dealerships have seen a great interest in electrical vehicles’. It is unfortunate then that the Press is unable to provide more up-to-date figures/percentages at a time when many of the world’s car manufacturers are allegedly struggling to move EVs off their forecourts. Hire car companies are selling off their electrical fleets at great financial losses as customers continue to prefer internal combustion engines due to their greater reliability.

I WISH very strongly to oppose any alterations to the narrow section of road at La Robergerie, St Sampson’s, as outlined in your recent presentation and map. I am a Guernsey resident, these last 63 years, though not at all in the area in question, and have been involved with island heritage and buildings for many years, my research embodied in The Guernsey House, published in 1980; Channel Island Churches, 1986; Channel Island Houses, 2015; have been for 30 years secretary of La Societe Guernesiaise’s Historic Buildings section; am a membre d’honneur of La Societe Jersiaise; fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London; member of Les Antiquaires de Normandie; life member of the British National Trust as well as of the local National Trust, etc.; and have been consultant on planning matters in local appeals and so forth.
