Jersey's Sea Cadets will move to a new base.

The group will have a new home at the former police headquarters on Rouge Bouillon in St Helier from January next year. They are currently based near Fort Regent, but the building has been deemed as no longer safe or appropriate for the unit to use.

An urgent consultation with Sea Cadet leaders, stakeholders and the Health and Safety Inspectorate has been held and it has been agreed that the Rouge Bouillon site is the best option. However the cadets will be based there temporarily until a long term solution is found.

Work to make sure part of the old Police HQ is ready for the Cadets is set to take around 12 weeks to complete.
