Bid to give parishes the power to decide where alcohol can be sold
Parishes could become the decision-makers on which bars, clubs and shops can sell drinks in a bid to replace a central arbitrator in a proposed overhaul of the law governing alcohol sales in Jersey. An amendment filed by the Constables' Committee would move licensing decisions – which are currently handled centrally by the Licensing Assembly – into the control of each individual parish.

Islanders invited to say ‘banjour’ to Guernsey French… How much do you already know?
People in Guernsey are being offered free taster sessions in the island's native language, Guernésiais, this weekend. A two-hour session for beginners will take place from 10:30 at Torteval Parish Hall on Saturday 10 January, with a "post beginner" session for people with some knowledge of the language on Sunday at the same time. Teacher and translator Yan Marquis said people could expect a "fun and engaging" experience covering topics like greetings, where you live and the weather.

Jèrriais documentary to be screened at Jersey Museum
A new documentary exploring the history and revival of Jèrriais will be showcased at a special one-off screening at the Jersey Museum tonight. À Bétôt, created by filmmakers Tom and Annigna Kennedy, of Little River Pictures, brings together the voices of elders, teachers, learners, and cultural advocates. The film looks at what Jèrriais has meant to Jersey in the past and what role it could play in the island's future.
