WQ.86/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT BY DEPUTY D.J. WARR OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 18th MARCH 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 25th MARCH 2024
Question
“Further to the response to Written Question 67/2024, and taking into account any disruptions caused in St. Helier due to current roadworks, will the Minister advise how he is prioritising the development of an Active Travel Plan and Town Masterplan for St. Helier and indicate the funds available to complete this work?”
Answer
As stated in my answer to WQ.67/2024, this government recognises that planning for the future of Town is critical to the sustainable development of the island. As a consequence, I am working with fellow ministers to prioritise the development of a Plan for Town and to establish appropriate ministerial oversight to ensure strategic co-ordination and delivery of change. This aspect of work is to be delivered within existing departmental budgets.
The development of an Active Travel Plan is but one aspect of any Plan for Town. I am aware that the Minister for Infrastructure, together with his Assistant Minister the Connétable of St Helier, is working to prioritise the development and adoption of a strategic framework and associated delivery plan of projects to improve walking and cycling. This will focus on St Helier but will also seek to ensure strategic linkages to other parts of the island and is part of the delivery of the Sustainable Transport Policy.
The availability and allocation of funds and professional resources, to support the implementation of projects, is part of the work to develop the framework and associated plan for delivery, and will be published in due course.
