Plans to refurbish Jersey gas explosion site

Jersey's States-owned housing company has put forward plans for part of a site where 10 people died in a gas explosion.

Three blocks of flats were demolished after the December 2022 explosion in the Haut du Mont residential block on Pier Road, St Helier.

Andium Homes wants to landscape the area where one of the demolished blocks stood, plus change some of the parking arrangements.

According to plans submitted this week, the area where Block G - the site of the explosion - was would be paved and surrounded by bushes.

Eventually there will be a memorial to the people who died there.
