We don’t need another grandiose development

From Richard Whatmore.
THE honest admission of past mistakes by Don Filleul (JEP, 21 February) is a rare and welcome offering from any politician and it is especially relevant to the Waterfront section of St Helier.
The Radisson, built in spite of a petition signed by 9,000, is the ugliest hotel in Western Europe; the sunken Route de la Liberation effectively cuts the town in two; Liberation Wharf is virtually a one-way shopping mall, half of which is still vacant; Cineworld has an absurdly large and unused booking hall and the adjoining night club is vacant.
It is important for our future that the town of St Helier should be a pleasant place to live, an attractive venue to shop and a fun place to visit. I now suggest that a certain amount of ‘prudent expenditure’, as Don Filleul suggests, allied to an increase in car parking as the Constable and others are rightly requesting, could, over time, significantly restore the vibrancy of the Island’s capital.
What is not needed is a large grandiose, over ambitious, out of scale development.
