In a joint initiative with States of Guernsey
Environment Department a report was drawn up regarding
the Urban Renewal of St Peter Port which provides a template
for action plans to be formulated. This now comes under the environment department.
As there are numerous areas of the Town
that need reviewing we decided as a start that we would concentrate
on Mill Street/Mansell Street.
The Executive Officer was given information
by States Departments which enabled him to produce a schedule
of all the properties within the area. He called on every
property and spoke to tenants of the retail units and owners
of the properties. The regeneration process is linked to
development of a number of sites as well as occupancy of
a recently completed office block. We will monitor progress
including commencement of the known new projects which have
planning permission. Trinity Square is to be the next area
for review.
The steering Committee comprises 14 people
including Trustees of the TCP, States
Departments, local architects and estate agents.
