Housing minister 'deeply concerned' about home planspublished at 08:24 British Summer Time 6 August 2019
BBC Radio JerseyJersey's housing minister is opposing plans to sell a former residential home to a private developer for almost £3m.
Senator Sam Mezec says he's "deeply concerned" details of who has bid for St Helier House, on People's Park, and what they plan to do with it, have not been made public.
Writing on Facebook, he says he cannot be sure the purchaser will not be "cramming as many tiny flats as possible on to the site to sell on at extortionate rates".
He's urging parishioners to vote against the plans - and has pledged to work with the Town Hall to ensure development on the site meets what he describes as "the housing needs of ordinary islanders".
St Helier House was closed when it was found to have the same cladding as Grenfell Tower in London where 72 people died in a fire two years ago.
Parishioners will be asked to vote on the former residential home's future on Wednesday evening.
