Islanders will have a chance to find out more about major proposals for Guernsey's harbours at public drop-in sessions over the next two weekends.
Under the plans unveiled this week, some current freight activity could be moved away from St Peter Port and St Sampson's Harbours, to a new port development near Longue Hougue. This would free up space around the current harbours for other uses.
St Sampson's Harbour would then become a facility dedicated to private leisure boats, with the land subsequently released from port operations providing an opportunity to revitalise the Bridge. St Peter Port Harbour would also be reorganised, including a new passenger terminal and underground parking.
Members of the project team will be available to discuss the plans at the upcoming public drop-ins.
The first sessions will take place next to the Condor Ferries' office, on the New Jetty at St Peter Port Harbour (adjacent to the passenger terminal). They will be open from 1pm to 6pm this Friday 14th May, and from 10am to 4pm on Saturday 15th May,.
This will be followed by sessions at the former GO charity shop on the Bridge, between 1pm and 6pm on Friday 21st May, and 10am to 4pm on Saturday 22nd May.
More details about the proposals can be found at www.gov.gg/futureharbours.
