What is wrong with the system and why is the Constable of the most important parish and his 10 Deputies so easily disregarded?<BR/> <BR/>So far as Ann Court is concerned, there cannot be a better opportunity to create a true gem in central St Helier. Turn this space into a proper little park with pedestrian access to and from the Arts Centre so that it can be a place for open air fun and entertainment for people of all ages. Don't waste money even turning it into a temporary car park - just lay the turf now and enjoy the place this summer and maybe even politicians will use it as a place to meet with the electorate and discuss common interests.<BR/> <BR/>C'mon Constable - you have the authority - use it!!!!!<BR/> <BR/>GrockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237459041733760570.post-70959511562847251992009-04-01T15:02:00.001+01:002009-04-01T15:02:00.001+01:00I don't dream of city status for St Helier.

When interviewed for this blog what I said was that I still thought there would be no harm in St Helier getting city status, but that it wasn't a top priority for me. The things I dream about for St Helier go into the top priority category - a town that's clean, safe and well funded; that has more than adequate open spaces, good air quality, excellent facilities for the disabled, the pedestrian and the cyclist; that is a place tourists want to come and visit; that maintains its amazing range of shops and places to eat and drink; that has a thriving community of artists and writers; that's a place people choose to make a home in because of the convenient access to schools, shops, museums ... Frankly I don't really mind whether it's called the town or the city of St. Helier!Simon Crowcrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982838208865788134noreply@blogger.com
