St Helier's Constable is hoping to swing some new ideas for his town parks and car parks past parishioners.
Constable Simon Crowcroft thinks we could be making better use of our green spaces and creating some more in our car parks.
He’s behind plans to create an underground car park in People’s Park providing hundreds of spaces for nearby residents, visitors and commuters and getting rid of the line of cars parked along the St Aubin’s Road side of the park.
He also wants to see pocket parks created in the Market Traders’ car park, in Belmont Road and the Nelson Street car park – sites already earmarked in the North of Town Masterplan. Constable Crowcroft says these smaller parks could link to the Millennium Town Park by the cut through already created by the parish.
But he says it would mean finding new places to park all the cars using these sites at the moment – either in private sector developments or by adding another storey to the housing development at Ann Court.
He also hopes to see more green space in Parade Gardens too and join the two halves of the gardens - raising the road on the upper section of Gloucester Street and install a big fountain that could be seen along the road and from the Waterfront.
