SEWAGE carts will be a thing of the past for Baubigny and Les Effards residents - if the States agrees. Deputy Ivan Rihoy is hoping to get a petition backing funding for main drains in the roads signed off at the end of the week.
It would then be submitted for inclusion in the Billet.
He believes that other St Sampson’s representatives will support it, but now has to convince the rest of the House.
‘I would hope that now residents in the area are putting up with so much new development and the amount of traffic, at least they will get some compensation by way of main drains which they were promised some years ago,’ he said.
St Sampson’s deputy Dan Le Cheminant is fully behind the move.
He pushed hard to ensure that the connection was installed as the new schools at Les Nicolles were built.
That will make it easier for the roads to be hooked up to the network.
‘If it doesn’t happen, then a great opportunity would have been missed,’ he said.
‘We’re talking about joined-up government. There, we had two departments that could have worked more closely together. Education did, but Public Services has clearly not paid its part. We could have done so much together for the people in the area who were promised the main drain so many years ago.’
Public Services has consistently taken the stance that more money needed to be made available for the project. It has prioritised other areas during its network extension programme.
