POWERS that allow parishes to halt developments must be strengthened to stop developers strong-arming them, advocate and former IDC president John Langlois has said.

A LITTLE bit of Guernsey died on Wednesday night when St Sampson’s douzaine finally revealed its reasons for capitulating over the data park traffic lights. After a ridiculous three-month wait, parishioners at last learned that David had turned tail and run when Goliath called up his advocates and douzaine members faced being personally sued for [...]

ST SAMPSON’S douzeniers could have faced massive financial bills and even have lost their homes if the parish had not changed its mind and granted a bornement for the entrance to the Guernsey Data Park.

ST SAMPSON’S constables have until the close of business today to say why they are refusing a developer a bornement for a new road junction to a business park approved by the States.

GUERNSEY Data Park Ltd has begun a court action against St Sampson’s parish officials for their refusal to give consent to a new access road junction to the Saltpans site.

A NAME change for the Guernsey Data Park from the Guernsey Technology Park better reflects the type of companies that will use the Saltpans site, according to the Long Port Group.
