Extension plans put forward for historic Jersey War Tunnels

An historic World War Two tunnel attraction has put forward extension plans for its museum and site.

Jersey War Tunnels hopes to extend the museum into the existing car park and change the parking arrangements. It follows a consultation process that asked people about improvements they would like to see at the site.

The hillside tunnels were constructed during World War Two by enslaved workers from across Europe during the Occupation of the Channel Islands.

The plans said the extension of the site aimed to provide extra exhibit and museum space for important historical items which could not be housed in the "unsuitable tunnel environment". The proposals will be discussed at a later date.

The plans include an extension to the visitor centre building and the demolition of a single-storey office building.

TSA, which has been appointed to develop the plans, said the scheme did not propose to make any alterations within the historically listed underground tunnel complex.

The proposals included road safety changes, with designated pedestrian routes and crossings.
