PARISH officials in St Sampson's have U-turned on their decision not to grant a permit for work on a new junction for a multi-million pound data park.

Creating the access point on Route Militaire for the development behind Braye Road Industrial Estate is scheduled to start on Monday week.

The road will be closed for 10 weeks between Crossways lights and the Saltpans while the job - which includes the installation of an additional set of traffic lights - is carried out.
