I know how it works in other islands but it would never work here to be fair. You simply couldn’t create a situation where civil servants would keep their noses out of it. 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Mexico Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Just saying: Hundreds of buses cancelled in Guernsey as staff shortages hit services While in Jersey they are asking for the PSV age limit to be reduced to 18, they are so short of drivers. There are structural problems in a lot of places caused by demographics and Brexit. But diverting attention into reorganising everything yet again won't work. As w saw with the DHSC/Manx Care split. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good reason not to take on the Islands services??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But I think it much more likely that she'll be "invited" to retire later this year than be binned by close of business today... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
