The site in Trinity was left to the States in 1927 by TB Davis for the study of agriculture, and is home to the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society.
Jersey Dairy are hoping to sell their site at Five Oaks and move to a new dairy on the farm, an idea that Davis’s descendents say is a good one, but they argue that the remainder of the land should then be used for agricultural research.
In a letter to Treasury Minister Terry Le Sueur Davis’s grand-daughers, great-grand-daughters, great-nieces and nephews, set out their hopes for the site.
They hope initial plans by the States to lift the covenant on the site are dropped, and instead they ask that it be amended to allow a ‘win-win solution’.
