Anger at Finance Centre building go-ahead

There was anger at a public meeting this morning when approval was given for the next stage in Jersey's new International Finance Centre.

Members of the public were given five minutes each to raise their concerns. It is the third of six buildings on the site of the current Esplanade car park.

Developers insist it is essential to grow Jersey's economy but, opponents say their fight is not over.

I've very disappointed that the panel couldn't see the broader issues. There have been so many changes now to the master plan that I think it's time to take the whole project back to the States.

– Sarah Ferguson, Former senator
