I don't know if anyone ever reads this newsblog, but it seems to me that I don't get enough content for it. The JDA Council discussed this last night, and we decided to concentrate our online efforts on the main site, jdajersey.co.uk , and the Council Members' private blog, jdacmb.blogspot.com .

This site will suspend new postings until either the 2011 Election Campaign, or a major political crisis.

Bye for now; see you in 18 months or so.

The JDA always opposed Zero-ten and published the damning report Preston Hobbs wrote for us over two years ago:

Now, as we predicted, the EU have rejected it. Geoff Southern for one, and probably many others will be asking Terry le Sueur some awkward questions about his role in foisting it on the island.

Deputy Geoff Southern is to be congratulated for his success in finally driving through the funding to start work on the "Millennium" Town Park, even if it took a fortuitous piece of incompetence from an opponent to clinch it.

That accomplished, he will be returning to his usual watchdog role with some challenging questions next month.

He will be grilling Deputy Pryke, the Health Minister, on such matters as whether waiting lists are developing for cancer treatment, problems with understaffing leading to overwork for the remaining staff and recruitment difficulties.

He will also have questions for Terry le Sueur on the cost of living, and some implications of last week's Panorama expose.

It will be intersting to see whether the Ministers have any satisfactory answers to these challenging questions.
