REPORT

The Minister supports both parts of this proposed amendment, where part (a) is further amended, following discussion and agreement between Deputy J.A.N. Le Fondré of St. Lawrence and the Deputy of St. Mary , to satisfy the objectives of both.

As amended, the new Proposal 20 would read –

"Proposal 20 – Island path networks

The Minister for Planning and Environment will, in partnership with all other relevant  stakeholders,  seek  to  develop  a  plan  for  the  improvement  and expansion of the existing provision of off-road footpaths, bridle paths and cycle routes aiming for island-wide coverage, and a plan for developing a coherent network (both on-road and along the road side) for cyclists and walkers across the Island."

The Minister notes that the key to the delivery of the new Proposal is the engagement and support of those stakeholders responsible for the management and maintenance of the existing network.

The independent planning inspectors also offer support for the development of holistic plans.

Financial and manpower implications

There  are  no  additional  financial  or  manpower  implications  arising  from  this amendment to the amendment.
