Pledge on disabled access
Jersey States will monitor public access to its newly refurbished government building.

The States building in the Royal Square has been opened after two years of redevelopment.

New lifts and stairwells have been put in and hand rails have been fitted to improve access.

Deputy Maurice Dubras, president of the committee that has overseen the work, said it had been difficult to make changes for people with disabilities in some parts of the building because of its age.

He said: "There were two or three corners which really could not be re-engineered.

"We are going to continue to monitor the situation and where we can make changes we will."
