SERIOUS shortcomings in the way the States handled the New Jetty project are revealed today.
It went more than four times over its original budget.
And the Public Accounts Committee still has concerns about the way the States manages capital projects despite a series of reforms.
Reports from the PAC and Public Services Department about the jetty work, pictured above, are published in today’s Billet d’Etat.
The original budget for the work was £3.3m. but it ended up costing £14.3m. after it was discovered that the jetty needed more repairs than originally thought and after a long legal dispute over costs with the contractor. (from thisisguernsey)

Of course no-one is to blame....
