Public opinion sought for use of former beach café

The site has been reopened since Wednesday with live music performances and a memorabilia exhibition

Islanders are to be consulted on what a former café site could be used for in the future.

The former Seaside Café at Grève de Lecq was bought by the government and given to the National Trust Jersey in February.

The site has been reopened since Wednesday with live music performances and a memorabilia exhibition.

The trust said phase one of its public consultation process had been completed by more than 2,500 people and that its second phase would include in-person workshops, events and discussions.

Artist Jo Pearl said the second phase would be "more creative and fun than a questionnaire".

She said it would be "a highly engaging and playful way to draw out ideas, co-make and envision new possibilities for the future of Grève de Lecq".

Ms Pearl added: "Not intended as an architectural masterplan, it will instead be an ideas-scape capturing hopes and suggestions from islanders."

One of the events planned is a clay workshop.

The trust said people of any age could be involved with "no pottery experience necessary".

The clay workshops will take place on 26 and 27 July at the former café site.
