Request
In the JEP of 28 October 2015 there was a report concerning the proposed conversion of public toilets at La Pulente into a cafe. The report also stated that the toilets had been sold last year for about £120000.
I would be grateful to see the documents advertising the sale of the toilets and any documents relating to the tendering and eventual sale by the States of Jersey.
