A new tourism development project is on the cards for Oistins that would require the relocation of the police station, post office and former library and other buildings, according to Member of Parliament for Christ Church South Ralph Thorne.However, he assured, residents would not be displaced.Thorne disclosed on Thursday that the Government has been in discussions regarding the tourism development as part of a wider plan to uplift the fishing community and market.While confirming that he was aware there had been negotiations with interested parties regarding the proposed development, the MP said he was unable to indicate exactly when the project would become a reality.“The Government has felt for a long time that to have a police station there and to have a post office is not really to maximise the full potential of that real estate. And it is and remains Government’s proposal to transform that civil administration complex into a tourism development area – I don’t know precisely what – and to relocate the government offices to the other side of the street,” he said.
