My parting shot as Ieave the group due to my and other peoples requests for the name to be changed to reflect that it is a forum for debate rather than a protest page going unheeded to the point where there is not even a reason given to why you wont change the name, the requests are just ignored. It is a piece of coastline, not a particularly attractive piece in my view but everyone is entitled to their opinion. The comments about losing the view are invalid, its just that the view will be moved a bit further out to sea. It is not a national treasure it is a rocky beach. It does not attract tourists, it does not add value to the Island economy, it does not get used that much by locals except when its status quo is threatened and then all of these BGB lovers crawl out if the woodwork. I am not necessarily in favour of reclaiming land there but neither am I in favour of ruling it out. It just needs to be considered and a major part of that consideration would have to be what use would be made of the reclaimed land. It seems to me that reclamation could possibly cause some problems but it could also solve some. We need to have the debate to be able to judge which is the best option for the overall good of the Island. I love Guernsey, it is a beautiful place to live. That does not mean it can not change or that change is necessarily wrong.
