St John’s Village Improvement Scheme

About the project

The Minister for Infrastructure has approved the St John’s Village improvement works.

The works are due to start in Autumn 2024.

Improvements include:

The designs aim to be consistent with St John’s village.

A zebra crossing to the Parish Hall will be provided by St John’s Inn, with belisha beacons and a new streetlight to meet safety standards.

The pavements either side will be widened, to make sure pedestrians wanting to cross can see approaching traffic.

There will be granite paving in keeping with the setting of the Parish Hall.

A zebra crossing on La Route du Nord will be provided south of La Rue de l’Etocquet and link to Maison Le Vesconte.

The road will be narrowed at the crossing for the pavements to be widened on both sides. This will make sure pedestrians can see approaching traffic.

We’ll also improve the street lighting.

The right turn lane will be removed at the main road junction by the church to create space for better pavements and a new pedestrian central refuge.

The refuge will link to the footpath on the western side of St John’s Parish Church, and where the St John’s Memorial Gardens are being proposed.

A widening of the southern pavement, and the narrowed junction with La Route du Nord, will reduce car dominance on the entry to the village.

A 20 miles per hour zone will be introduced to make walking in and around the village safer.

An exhibition explaining the planned works will be at St John’s Parish Hall on:

Representatives from the parish and Infrastructure and Environment will be there to answer questions on:

The banners will be on display during the event.

Works are due to start in Autumn 2024.
