Housing minister is delighted to see estate razed

SEEING the Grand Bouet estate demolished was a dream come true for Housing minister Dave Jones.

The Guernsey Housing Association yesterday began the demolition of the last remaining properties at the old Grand Bouet Estate and Deputy Jones said that getting to that point had been a long journey.

'I feel very emotional today. I'm so glad to see these houses finally being razed.'

He said he joined Housing 10 years ago with the sole purpose of seeing an end to such estates.
