WQ.344/2024

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT

BY DEPUTY L.K.F. STEPHENSON OF ST. MARY, ST. OUEN AND ST. PETER QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 7th OCTOBER 2024

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 14th OCTOBER 2024

Question

"Will the Minister detail what actions he and his department have undertaken, since he took office in January 2024, to develop a play strategy for the Island, with a specific focus on play area provision in St. Helier , as set out in the Bridging Island Plan?"

Answer

Following the change of Government earlier in 2024 this workstream was taken on by the Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills. All Departments have undergone a prioritisation exercise and I understand that this work has subsequently been delayed due to resourcing constraints within CYPES.

The Department for the Economy's involvement has been limited to supporting CYPES in drafting the Play Policy and working with Infrastructure and Environment on playground redevelopment at Les Quennevais.
