The chief executive of the Department of Economic Development says he believes he's well placed to help with the development of a democratic government on Sark.
Colin Kniveton is taking up the role of chief secretary of the smallest of the Channel Islands from November 1 for four months.
Mr Kniveton says having had roles in both the private and public sectors on another small Island communty, he's seen as being a safe pair of hands to oversee change on Sark, which has a population of around 600:
'Significant disruption' to drug supply networks but fewer OCGs targeted
Motorists urged to slow down on resurfaced roads
Island starts introduction of digital immigration products
Ratepayers urged to join conversation over NCAS
Firefighters raise £2.7K by completing 'Station to Summit' endeavor
