He is adamant that no deals have been done with any developers, and that his only priority is to secure a successful and vibrant waterfront – regardless of whether the current schemes are accepted or whether a new plan emerges.
‘Why is it that in Jersey we always have to look for deals done in dark smoke-filled rooms? Why is it we always have to look for something underhand?’ asked Senator Walker.
‘It is sickening that every time something like this comes along, people suggest outside interest and all sorts of other involvement, none of which has any basis in truth.’ Senator Walker said it was ‘absolutely crystal clear’ that no hidden deals had been done with proposed developers Dandara or anyone else.
He says he is looking forward to the opportunity to meet waterfront critics Senator Dick Shenton and Deputy Alan Breckon on a public platform when he gets back from holiday, because he is confident that the public will find it easier to support the waterfront plans when they have all the facts.
