ACCESS to the Guernsey Technology Park should have gone through the Braye Road Industrial Estate, according to St Sampson’s senior constable Andrew Bichard.

But the Long Port Group, which is developing the park, said that would not have been possible because the estate road was privately owned.

Access to the site will be from Route Militaire, with a property owned by Long Port being demolished to make room for a new six-metre wide road. Traffic lights will be installed at the junction.

Mr Bichard praised the company for keeping interested parties ‘fully advised’ of developments, but said the constables’ main concern had always been access and that had not changed.

He believes Long Port should have been forced to create an access road from the industrial estate.

‘Our major concern was about the amount of traffic and the effect on Route Militaire,’ he said.
