Jersey minister suspends marina project
Efforts to redevelop St Helier Marina and the Old Harbour in Jersey have been suspended by the island's economic development minister in order to adopt a "new approach".
In a letter to St Helier Boat Owners Association (SHBOA), Alan Maclean said that all work on the redevelopment of the marina would be halted in order to allow a new task force to explore future options. Maclean said: "I have listened to concerns of St Helier boat owners following the recent presentation by Jersey Harbours of conceptual plans for future marina development. In light of the these concerns and some misunderstanding, I believe a new approach is essential."
Jersey Harbours will now set up the new Marina Development Task and Finish Group to replace the Marine Leisure Growth Group to incorporate an independent chair and three representatives of St Helier boat owners.
