FRAGMENTS of broken glass have been placed in tree planters at Minden Place by St Helier – to give the area ‘a bit of colour’.

Alarmed Islanders yesterday contacted the JEP and asked for the public to be alerted to the potential danger the glass could pose.

If it is successful all planters in town could be filled with glass.
