Another year of

ell, the current Planning & Environmental Minister has certainly come under increasing fire recently and by the time this publication is circulated, if certain States Members get their way, Deputy Rob Duhamel may no longer be sitting in this particular hot seat.
Having been in the industry since the 1970’s I have seen many States Members take on this poisoned challis, either as President of a Committee or as Minister, some successfully, some not so. All have undoubtedly felt they have tried their best, but not all have been capable of taking on what is unquestionably the most difficult and complex roll to successfully fulfill within our Island government.
In recent years, the difficulty of this roll has increased exponentially, because everyone has become an expert and has an opinion, even if they have no
experience of such matters and it’s so much easier to voice that opinion these days!
Without doubt the population of our Island hold vastly conflicting views over how the built environment of our Island should be developed and what should or should not be preserved.
There have been many mistakes made over the years, not just the more recent high profile blunders, which were made before Deputy Duhamel’s tenure.
The common ground, is that most people want to preserve the natural environment of this beautiful Island and being an environmentalist at heart, Rob Duhamel, I believe is working to achieve the right balance between development of the built environment and preservation and enhancement of the natural environment, although I disagree with his conclusion over the Plemont saga!
Whoever is holding the
Planning madness or are we going in the right direction?
