Ian Blandin, who lives close to the field, has set up a ‘Save Our St Saviour Group email to mobilise opposition to the Rotary Club of Jersey’s plans to build a community centre there. He is also setting up a Facebook page.

Two more States Members – St Saviour Deputy Roy Le Hérissier and former Housing Minister Terry Le Main – have joined Senator Jim Perchard in opposing plans to develop Field 528, Rue de la Retraite.

The JEP reported on Friday that the service club will soon apply for planning permission. If built the centre will include premises for the Good Companions Club, hairdressing and health facilities, a nursery and a café.
