Jersey Development Company hopes the centre will be open later in the summer

A former arcade on St Helier's waterfront will be converted into a children's indoor play area and café.

Jersey Development Company secured planning permission for the site at the Waterfront Centre, Rue de L'etau that was previously home to Tamba Arcade and Arcadia.

The company announced in March that the opening of the new soft play area would enable the existing facility at Fort Regent to close, which would help in the Fort's planned regeneration.

It plans for the new play zone to open later in the summer.
