Only individuals attending the Parish Hall in person were able to vote, not those watching the Assembly online.
As well as the £6.5m cash and “swap” for the zone currently occupied by Jersey Bowling Club – which is owned by the Parish – for “land and equivalent facilities” at Warwick Farm, where Jersey Hemp is based, the deal included:
- some re-provision of lost parking facilities;
- relocation of recreational facilities;
- and relocation and re-provision of trees.
Had parishioners supported the deal, the land purchases would have only gone ahead if planning permission for the £800m Overdale ‘health campus’ is received.
The Government will now look to use its compulsory purchase powers to acquire the land.
