The Water Lanes in the Parish of St Peter Port Guernsey is a wonderful historic Water Lane dating back to medieval times. The stream and its hedge rows is an eco-system that is a habitat for many species of marine, mammal, insect and bird life some rare and not found elsewhere. It has been a safe and tranquil pedestrian only path for hundreds of years to present time ensuring a safe and peaceful route in a unique and natural environment away from the very busy and increasingly unsafe Collings Road! The Water Lanes clearly hold deep historical and ecological significance, not to mention their role as a rare peaceful sanctuary in a rapidly changing urban landscape.

Now, Education, Sport & Culture want to install a grid plate system over the open douit to allow cyclists to use the path despite it being a no cycle zone with many children, families, dog walkers and many more pedestrians using the lanes safely. This will mean the loss of a beautiful and tranquil part of St Peter Port. Please sign the petition so we can enjoy these historic lanes in their natural state.
