consultants to advise on its use for recreational
and leisure activities.
The scheme for the Barracks also includes
the straightening of two bends in Kennedy Road.
Commenting on the announcement, the
Secretary for the Environment, Mr. Derek Jones,

valuable contribution made by the Victoria Barracks
Planning Committee, many of whose ideas, he said,
had been embodied in the final plan. The Planning
Committee's final report will be published for
public information shortly, together with the
proposals prepared by the UMELCO Ad Hoc Group, which
illustrate the different approaches taken to the
planning of this important area.
