Orchard plan for La Collette

Orchard plan for La Collette

The St Helier Community in Bloom group and the Jersey Junior Chamber are organising a number of fund-raising initiatives to support the project to plant fruit saplings. Junior Chamber president Jensen Nixon, said: ‘We visited La Collette flats at the request of the Community in Bloom group and agreed with them that the residents are pretty poorly served by green areas which are so sloped that they are not even suitable for ball games and none of the playground facilities envisaged in the original plans for the site. ‘This is therefore a really exciting project which will not only visually improve lower Green Street but will also provide a community facility for years to come.’ A ‘Dress Green Day’ sponsored by Viberts will be held on Friday 27 July to raise funds for the project. St Helier shoppers will also be asked to help ‘buy an apple and plant a tree’ next Saturday.
