The exhibit, which is located on the large piece of land between the Radisson Hotel and Castle Quay, has been open for several months, but even those behind the project are now questioning its quality and authenticity.
It was launched to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War and aimed to transform a 3,000-square-metre area of the Waterfront into a battlefield that could be used to educate schoolchildren about the war.
St Helier Deputy Richard Rondel admitted that there had been problems with the parish-backed scheme and that it needed to be improved.
Tony Andrews, director of parks and gardens for St Helier, who are responsible for the site, said: ‘We are progressing the plans and we intend to keep it running for the next few years. We want to keep adding to it. We recently trimmed down the flowers so that they can grow back for next year.’
He added: ‘There is a low wall of sandbags which are an interpretation of World War One trenches. It’s opening every day and there has been some reasonable feedback.’
