Thursday February 25, 2021, 12:00 PM The historic arrivals terminal at Jersey Airport was earmarked for demolition on safety grounds. Credit: ITV Channel TV Jersey Airport's arrivals hall will not be demolished, after the Director of Civil Aviation reversed the instruction for it to be knocked down. The building, which dates back to 1937, has been under threat of demolition since 2010, when the then DCA told Ports of Jersey it would take licensing action if buildings including the arrivals building were not removed. This was reiterated in 2018 and in 2020. This followed concerns around the safe operation of the airport, but the new Director of Civil Aviation has said that new technologies and improvements to safety management mean that the demolition of the building is not required.

Calls to reintroduce ban on evictions and rent increases in Jersey | Channel

Thursday February 18, 2021, 10:07 AM Since the ban was lifted at the start of October 2020, the Jersey Landlord's Association says there have been 24 eviction cases brought before the Petty Debs Court. Credit: ITV Channel TV The Jersey Tenants' Forum wants evictions and rent increases to be banned like they were in the first lockdown. The Forum is arguing that recent rises in coronavirus infections and business restrictions have resulted further job losses and insecurity, so renters need to be supported again. It says rent freezes and a ban on evictions by social housing providers should also be in place for private tenants.

'Urgent' changes needed to protect renters hit by crisis in Jersey | Channel

Friday February 12, 2021, 5:48 AM Deputy Montfort Tadier says there should be a duty of care by the landlord for as long as the tenancy agreement is in place. Credit: ITV Channel TV A Jersey politician wants people who end up homeless, if there is a fire at the property they rent, to get better protection. Deputy Montfort Tadier wants new laws forcing landlords to provide alternative accommodation while the tenant still has to pay their rent. Deputy Tadier says it is not "a theoretical problem" and changes are "urgently needed". In December last year - just a week before Christmas - six families were made homeless due to a fire at a block of flats in St Aubin. Some of the tenants were offered alternative accommodation, but only for two or three weeks and some remain in temporary accommodation, having to foot the bill either through their own insurance or using their own money.
