Why does Guernsey road works take so long?’

FORT ROAD businesses are bracing themselves for a quiet month while the road is resurfaced.
It closed on Monday and will not reopen until 7 February.
The diversion goes through St Martin’s village to Ruettes Brayes and then back up Colborne Road.
Fermain Valley Hotel general manager Mike Conrad-Pickles (pictured) is concerned it will damage his business.
‘It is a quiet time of year, but we would still normally get passing trade,’ he said. ‘Our biggest worry is that people will think they cannot get here.’
He said the States had assured him that customers would be able to get to the hotel from the Sausmarez Manor end.
He was concerned about the amount of time it was taking.
‘Four weeks seems like a long time to do this kind of work,’ he said.(from thisisguernsey)
