The minister says that he has received personally abusive messages, letters and emails, some of which were ‘viciously threatening and disgustingly anti-semitic’.
There has been a wave of criticism of the minister since the JEP highlighted the appearance of the Dandara and Bridgemere development on the site of the old holiday village at Portelet.
The luxury development of 54 homes, although unfinished, has prompted criticism of the minister from environmental campaigners and members of the public, and the JEP’s website has been deluged with comments critical of the plans.
