Two primary school principals are to receive their full salaries after their union made a complaint to Government.

The heads of Elliott Primary and Orange Valley started in September, but were only paid a normal teacher's wage.

The Principals' Association became involved and yesterday organiser Alan Leigh said the dispute had been resolved.

He said one delay was caused because the teacher was from overseas and had to be approved by the Public Services Commission, Immigration and the Governor.

Mr. Leigh said the head teachers would get the arrears paid in their pay cheque at the end of November. Principal Education Officer Joseph Christopher did not return a call for comment yesterday.

Road to be closed for resurfacing

CableVision began resurfacing the company's car park and today will close down part of Laffan Street to vehicular traffic.

From today to November 26 the area of Laffan Street from the corner of Canal Road to CableVision's headquarters will be closed as they resurface that area.

Operations Manager Alan Smith said: “We regret the inconvenience that some of our customers may experience when visiting out headquarters over the next week. However, we hope that a smooth road will make for a pleasant customer experience over the long run.”

Customers coming to visit the headquarters are advised to park at the paid parking outside Bulls Head car park and walk to the building, as a special lane for pedestrians will be available during the resurfacing.

Customers can also pay bills and direct any questions at CableVision's Church Street office that is open from 8.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. And customers can also pay bills online with Butterfield Direct, Easylink Online, Easypay, or telephone banking.
