Defences: I’ll do my utmost, says De Lisle
Thursday 13th March 2008, 12:45PM GMT.
Waves pound the coastal defences during Monday’s storms.
ENVIRONMENT minister David De Lisle said yesterday he would do all he could to protect coastal defences, but admits financial restraints might hamper his aim.
A consultant’s report debated by the States last month recommended the department investigates abandoning the sea wall at L’Ancresse.
But Deputy De Lisle said yesterday that he would do his utmost to protect that one as well as others. The storms have only highlighted their importance, he said.
‘I’m all for defending what we have got, but we really need to look at resources and whether or not we have the appropriate ones for strengthening our sea defences in the future.’

DE Lisle saying he will do his utmost will result in nothing. The solution lies with ALL the States members working together to find the financial resourses to do the job. They must get their priorities right – less plastic bag action and more work on sea defenses, airport impprovements and sound financial planning
