Property Services are seeking expressions of interest for the opportunity to repurpose the “unusual little building” on Guernsey’s east coast.
La Tonnelle building, formerly a tram stop and public conveniences, is thought to date back to the late 1930s.
“We are really keen to see this unusual little building get a new lease of life – this is the very first stage in the process,” said Head of Property Services Mark Ogier. “For the moment all we want is to get a feel for what ideas are out there. After that, we’ll get into the detail of what’s suitable and what works in line with planning requirements and other considerations.
“So for now, anyone with an idea for La Tonnelle, be it a business, private individual, charity, or not-for-profit organisation please get in touch.”
In recent years, Occupation-era signage, which has been restored and preserved, was discovered on the building. Painted by German occupying forces, these makeshift signs replaced the original road signs which were taken down by islanders.
