ENVIRONMENT has admitted an embarrassing mistake in its handling of the prestigious Admiral Park development.
The department’s planners failed to spot that they were using an out-of-date planning brief when assessing a proposed multi-million pound development that includes substantial office space and a cinema.

Have any of you ever complained to the States? Perhaps you ought to write letters to them as, you never know, they may be willing to act on your idea. I sincerely believe that the comments on these forums ought to be analysed and evaluated during routine political business and during the occasional decision-making exercises in order to make more informed, judicious decisions when considering to embark on fresh enterprises.
