Connect 3 Million

Exploring the practicalities of a fixed link between the Channel Islands and France for the long term economic, environmental and social future of the region.

[Connect 3 Million @Connect3Million]

Why is shaping rock core to what it means to be human? Why do we need a tunnel and not an alternative transport method? Why is a fixed link even needed in the first place?

For those not able to attend @jerseychamber or @GuernseyChamber @Connect3Million events about a fixed link between Guernsey, Jersey & Europe take a look at this video. Hopefully it will persuade you the idea is at least worthy of proper consideration https://t.co/SyF2XvBscQ

If the front page of today's @GuernseyPress has got you considering the prospect of a tunnel, then have a listen to the below podcast with @TigGuern, Meriel Lenfestey and Kevin Keen discussing the realities of what it could really mean for both islands.

@jviddy @GuernseyRamble @SeanF68 @TigGuern @RollodeSaus There are certainly questions to be answered, which is why a feasibility study is the necessary first step. The key thing the Nordic experts were able to demonstrate is that this is worth investigating and has been a proven success in populations much smaller than the C.I.

Thursday’s edition 🗞️

[Dominic Jones @DominicCJones]

Tunnel, like key projects in Jersey’s history, has been brought to public debate by @jerseychamber summarised below by @JEPnews

We’ve heard from Deputy Morel, and would be good to hear views of @lyndonfarnham @AndyJehan /CoM now we have more facts.

[Connect 3 Million @Connect3Million]

With a sold out room at today's event in Guernsey, 95% of voters believe the tunnel project needs to be investigated, in collaboration with Jersey.

Those in attendance of today's Guernsey Chamber event heard from Nordic tunneling experts on why there is no 'magic' required to build a subsea tunnel. It is feasible, fundable and ultimately results in an asset rather than a cost to society.

⁦@jerseychamber⁩ breakfast discussion this morning was so interesting with experts from Norway and the Faroe Islands team talking about their latest 2 sub sea tunnels. Martin Dorey, Guernsey explaining his view on the potential for the Channel Islands.

[Dominic Jones @DominicCJones]

Important presentation on tunnel to 🇫🇷 from @jerseychamber & @Connect3Million today.

Question clearly isn't can we do it but do we want it?

What an opportunity to help solve Jersey's greatest challenges: housing, labour, low productivity, dependency ratio & healthcare. 🧵

[Connect 3 Million @Connect3Million]

A very energising conversation this morning @JerseyChamber breakfast briefing discussing the realities of building a subsea tunnel, where it has already been achieved and why it makes sense for the C.I. On to @guernseychamber tomorrow!

#StrongerConnected

[Connect 3 Million @Connect3Million]

Team Connect 3 Million hit Jersey ahead of tomorrow's presentation on the #tunnel. Looking forward to meeting up with the Nordic experts who'll be presenting on how it's eminently possible.

#StrongerConnected

[Connect 3 Million @Connect3Million]

It's time to ask the big questions. Is the tunnel fantasy or feasible?

There are only a few tickets left for the Jersey event with tunnel experts and the Guernsey event has now sold out, but highlights will be available online.

[Connect 3 Million @Connect3Million]

Is a tunnel between the C.I. actually feasible? Can you drill through granite? Why do we even need a fixed link?
All of these questions will be addressed at the upcoming events in just over a week's time in Jsy & Gsy.
For now here are more local voices on 'the tunnel project'...

[Connect 3 Million @Connect3Million]

🌊 Take a minute to imagine the possibilities that would open up with the construction of a high speed undersea rail tunnel between the Channel Islands and France.

The idea of building a fixed link in the form of a tunnel has been gathering interest for some time. Click below to hear from local Channel Islanders on why they believe it is worth investigating..

The benefits of a fixed link between the Channel Islands go far beyond connectivity; see below what Richard Digard considers to be the economic result of working together instead of apart:

#StrongerConnected

[Connect 3 Million @Connect3Million]

It's true, an undersea tunnel between the Channel Islands in under discussion once again @islandfm

And this time we have some true experts coming over to talk about exactly how it could work via events hosted by @GuernseyChamber & @jerseychamber

[Connect 3 Million @Connect3Million]

The proposal to build a tunnel from Guernsey to Jersey and on to France could be the answer to ensure a robust economic future for the islands.
