Why spoil the promenade? There is a road there already

From Chris Whitworth.
HAVING attended virtually all the pre-incinerator public meetings, I recall being told that the road along Commercial Buildings would have to be widened to allow unrestricted access for both the increase in refuse trucks, as well as emergency vehicles, should the need occur.
At no point do I recall talk of turning the walkway adjacent to Green Street slip into an emergency access road.
Further despoliation of this area is totally unnecessary, as one only has to walk along this fine stretch of Victorian promenade to realise that there is a perfectly ideal access road alongside the JEC Power Station (as shown in the attached picture).
As well as arming myself with a camera to take this picture, I also took along a measuring tape and found that this unobstructed stretch of road leading from the car park adjacent to the TA building is over nine feet wide at any point.
Therefore, as Jersey politicians are currently struggling to reduce expenditure, I seriously question the spending of money on altering a perfectly good walkway when an ideal solution already exists.
