Planning of a new finance centre has come to light and it looks as though it's going to happen, whether the people want it or not. I have created this petition in hope that we can somehow prevent this from happening, because I feel local government and numerous companies are slowly ruining our beautiful Island and are gradually taking away everything it has to offer.
It won't be long until our Island is completely swallowed up by corporate buildings, over-populated areas and more houses or in most cases, tacky, small and overpriced flats. I love this Island and I truly believe we should protect it before it's too late
