Little Chapel development could put businesses at risk, says shop owner

A Guernsey businessman says developing the Little Chapel mean he will have to close down.

The tourist attraction is undergoing a three-year renovation, to make sure it is back up to scratch for its 100th birthday in 2021. This will include making it disability-friendly.

But Martyn Guille from Silversmiths & Fine Jewellers, which is adjacent to the Little Chapel, says this could prevent public access to his shop and put him out of business.

The Chapel's committee has fought back at these comments, saying the new and improved site will attract more visitors and therefore be beneficial for local businesses.
