A decade-old promise
Share this:
From Amanda Smith, St Helier Womens Institute president.
IT is with great disappointment that we learn there is a new proposal that stops the building of the main town park with no date for completion.
This is due to additional apartments in an already high density residential proposal being added to the plans.
The rationale provided in favour of new apartments is in order to offset the cost of remediating David Place.
However, this does not provide sufficient rationale for the indefinite postponing of the original purpose, the park area.
There are sufficient funds for work to begin on the park and our main concern is if this area is allowed to be put on hold further then the park will never transpire and instead we will be left with another identikit development in St Helier.
The area allocated for the town park is in one of the most densely populated areas in St Helier.
It is an area that is predominated by tenants and families. This area is currently barren of green space.
It is surely time to fulfil the promises made over a decade ago; to give back to the inhabitants of St Helier a space for our children to play and for quiet time out during the working day.
