The early May bank holiday could be moved from Monday 4th May to Friday 8th May in Guernsey.

As Liberation Day 2020 falls on a weekend, islanders will not have their normal bank holiday.

Guernsey's Economic Development Committee have suggested that the May Day bank holiday is moved to the Friday to give islanders a long Liberation weekend.

It follows consultation with businesses on how this might affect them.

The decision follows a similar announcement in the UK last week and will be debated in the Assembly soon.
