ST PETER Port constables have been forced to call a third public meeting after an outcry against the plans for a new £2.5m. office at Les Cotils.

More than 130 people attended the most-recent meeting at the Dorey Room at St James earlier this month. Many parishioners objected that they had not been given enough information about the project and the vote was delayed.

Junior constable Barry Cash said they would ensure parishioners were well informed about the plans before the next meeting.

‘We are doing everything in our power to get information out to everybody so they can see our plans and what we want to do,’ he said.

More than 10,000 information booklets are now being printed and most of these will be sent out with the rate demands next week.

There will also be a letter drop in June to all St Peter Port residents, letting them know they can see the booklet at the Lefebvre Street office.

That will ensure residents who are renting and do not directly pay rates will have the opportunity to see the plans.
