Deliveries Of Print-Error Phonebook Resume

Friday, 24 May 2019 08:52

A 'printed supplement' will be delivered to all Jersey addresses, containing the correct details for the Bailiff, along with corrections to other errors made in the 2019 Jersey Directory.

Yabtsa, the company that produces the phonebook, halted distribution last month because it names the Bailiff as 'the right honourable Earl John Fogarty' alongside an incorrect address and contact numbers.

Around 6,000 of an 60,000 copies had already been sent out.

CEO Gary Taylor says a formal apology was made to Sir William Bailhache, with an agreement made to continue deliveries.

When they are completed, corrected details will also be sent out.

"Yabsta will be working with Jersey Post, our chosen distributor, to coordinate the distribution of the remaining directories, in both standard and mini formats, as well as the proposed supplement to ensure that all households and businesses receive a copy."
