Proposals to allow tractors to be driven on Sundays without special permission are to be considered.
A change to Sark's laws which say tractor drivers need special permission to drive on Sundays may be amended next month.
The proposition has been submitted by members of the Douzaine to be considered by the Chief Pleas in early July.In the proposition submitted by Conseiller Chris Bateson, Chairman of the Douzaine, he wrote that "there has been a gradual shift from the notion of 'keeping Sunday special' to it becoming 'just another working day'".
She said: "The boats change through the winter, so there aren't the same number of tourists. Everybody needs to make their money through the summertime.However, Jason Salisbury, of Sark Dairy, said he believed the law should remain as it was, saying it was a selling point for tourists that the island was traffic-free, and that keeping one day a week with minimal tractor movement would "keep Sark special" for tourists.
