Vix Lowthion explains why the so called £200 rebate on energy bills announced by the Government last week will end up seeing many Islanders out of pocket
Seely said, "The funding means improved facilities at the Columbine building: a greater refit capacity for marine clients and creating a centre of excellence for the R&D, construction & servicing of the green energy boat sector, vital for the Island’s future"
Cllr Stewart said this is the first time in many years that any government has given such an explicit recognition of the need for the Island’s unique circumstances to be looked at
