Strategy to attract visitors has no clear plan of action
With no noticeable response by the States to the reduction in the number of people holidaying in the island, golden opportunities to capitalise on promotion, such as the Literary Festival and film adaptation of the Guernsey Potato Literary and Potato Peel Society, should be acted upon

'Future Guernsey' plan needs clear performance targets
RE: FUTURE GUERNSEY. Having written many business plans in the past I, with the benefit of hindsight, now accept that without clearly defined and achievable targets these plans aren't worth the paper they are written on. The plan presented by Gavin St Pier to the IoD last week failed in my opinion to identify any areas where the proposed Business Plan can be easily judged to have been a success or failure. Most if not all of the many critics of the States of Guernsey will no doubt view this initiative as the usual 'smoke and mirrors'.

No funding equals no scrutiny
THE outgoing States' uneasy relationship with scrutiny has again been tested with news that a regulator is so starved of funds it cannot investigate 'significant market abuse'. The stymieing of a legitimate inquiry would be bad enough if it related solely to private businesses but for one of the parties escaping investigation to be a States department is wholly unacceptable.

Education did not do its homework
AS THE dust settles after a momentous few days in the States chamber it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that the Education Department has been outplayed. As a group of principled, well-intentioned deputies, few departments come close to Education. They wear their hearts on their sleeve trying to do the best for the island's children.

Giving the toothless tiger bite
STATES members will effectively be asked a simple question – what is the price of accountability? The Scrutiny and Public Accounts Committees have produced a report on how to strengthen the work their successor will do in the next Assembly.

Spending scrutiny should extend to States partners
Public spending is always under the taxpayers' magnifier, but scrutiny of expenditure can hit a wall when money is paid out to government partners which do not publish public accounts. Nick Mann argues that if money is going to be spent outside States departments, taxpayers should still be able to know their contribution is being used in the right way

Eco-friendly action is needed now
ANOTHER record just broken for warmest November day ever. Sounds nice in theory, but look at it in the deeper context. Those severe and battering storms of 2013/14, was it all coincidence, along with the huge amounts of jellyfish seen in the summer?

C&E proposal 'pays lip service' to idea of supporting local boat-building industry
THE Guernsey Marine Traders Association would like to bring to the fore its grave concerns over the current proposals being laid down by States of Guernsey Commerce and Employment Department for the purchase and replacement of a new sea fisheries vessel, Leopardess. In recent weeks and months many of our members and maritime professionals have added their voice of concern to the proposed £3m. build. The GMTA fully endorses those comments.
