The problem in St Helier is tooooo many Crowcroft Bollards!
they have sprung up even in backstreet places where theres no need for them.
 People used to park for a few mins to pick up stuff from shops now they can't,
 and resort to chancing beating the clampers for 15mins in nearby carparks
 because public spaces have been removed like whats going to happen soon in
 La Motte street according to yesterdays JEP, TTS info.
 the answer is short term parking spaces like in front of the market.

I hardly ever visit St Helier since I have retired because of the parking probs.  No need.  I buy most things I need, apart from groceries, online.  The small cost for postage sometimes negates the parking fee and the little cost that is left over covers my time, effort and convenience.

I enjoy a drive around the farm shops to get really fresh veg, then visit a nice parking spot on a headland somewhere, overlooking the other islands on a fine day usually, to have coffee from a flask and a teacake.

Today was just brilliant down at Le Braye.  The view of the dunes was breathtaking today with the yellow of the bracken and the cream of the sand and the different hues of green.

I have just this minute come back from the 5 mile road and the sea coming over the wall then rebounding into the next incoming wave was brilliant. Lots of people watching. See you do not need alot of money to enjoy the beauty around you if you go around with your eyes open, the best painting every is this planet and it's wild nature.
