Alderney adapts to Guernsey

Alderney States is set to adopt a similar political structure to Guernsey States.

Under discussion are plans for a new Policy Committee made up of heads of existing groups such as the Building Development and Control Committee, General Services Committee and newly instigated committees such as the Transport Committee.

The Policy and Finance Committee, which currently consists of all States members, will deal with financial matters only.

One of the aims of the shake up is to stimulate greater debate at the monthly States meetings.

The proposals are to be announced at the next Peoples Meeting and comments from the public are sought.
