Our Draft Masterplan demonstrates how a Town Park extension on the former Jersey Gas site, provides a one-off opportunity to extend this much loved ‘green lung’ for the benefit of future generations. Given the scale of current regeneration projects in this part of St Helier – nearly 1,000 new homes by Andium and others across 5 sites over the next 5 years, the need to provide sustainable communities with good placemaking and appropriate amenity space is clear.
Andium’s Town Park Vision proposes that the entire former Jersey Gas site is converted as a green extension to the existing Millenium Town Park. In addition, there will be a new green pedestrian route from the Ann Street Brewery scheme through from Simon Place to Tunnel Street and the extended Town Park. This will link through Andium’s Brewery and Mayfair schemes and provide safe, car-free routes for residents and the public alike. It is hoped that further Town Park links can also be established through to Springfield and the Wellington Road schools, to provide safer routes for our children.
Further community benefit is proposed by establishing a new Youth Centre facility through conversion of the Listed Ann Street Brew House and Office buildings and creating a new Headquarters for Autism Jersey in the Listed Sans Souci building. Overall, this presents a huge opportunity to fully regenerate this part of Town, provide real community benefit and liveable developments which support wellbeing and reconnect with nature.
