At the end of another busy week across the Channel Islands, Weekend Extra looks back on the past seven days to see what hit the headlines and caught your attention.

One of the most anticipated decisions came on Tuesday when Jersey’s Planning Minister refused permission for a new hospital, on the grounds that it was “grossly out of scale, over-dominant, obtrusive and alien.”

In Guernsey, the State-owned airline Aurigny got the good news it wanted, that the Committee for Commerce & Employment was recommending it be awarded a five-year monopoly on its profitable Guernsey to Gatwick route.

Across the islands, we’ve been hearing a lot about the rollout of super-fast 5G mobile signals in the coming years. This week, Jersey’s government put that ambition at the heart of its new telecoms strategy.

The latest Bitcoin-linked fraud involved an email containing death threats. Jersey’s financial services regulator issued a warning. Meanwhile, legal action over Guernsey’s public sector pension reforms was averted at the 11th hour as the government and unions worked out a plan to keep all sides happy.
