Plans to upgrade Alderney's airport runaway are to be scaled-back as the States of Guernsey has announced proposals to reform Bailiwick finances.

A policy letter from the Policy & Resources Committee (P&R) says the projected costs for the extension project have exceeded the £24m budget allocated.

Deputy Lyndon Trott, president of P&R said: "We cannot ignore the challenging fiscal situation that the States of Guernsey finds itself in" and a "radical reconsideration" of the project was needed.

Trott said a "constitutional community" would be set up later this year to rethink the management of Bailiwick finances under the 1948 agreement between Guernsey and Alderney.
