STATES OF JERSEY
SNOW HILL CAR PARK: PARKING FOR STATES MEMBERS, JURATS AND LAW OFFICERS (P.43/2014) – COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 25th April 2014 by the Privileges and Procedures Committee
STATES GREFFE
2014 Price code: A P.43 Com.
COMMENTS
Under the provisions of Standing Order 128(d) and (e), the Committee is required to review the services, facilities and remuneration packages provided to elected members. The Committee is of the view that the current car parking provisions afforded to States Members should be reviewed and proposals brought forward in relation to alternative areas that could be utilised instead of Snow Hill. Any such review should take into account all parking provision extended to States Members, including the spaces provided for Ministers and Assistant Ministers at Cyril Le Marquand House and elsewhere. Any proposals for change should provide for members who may have a permanent or temporary disability and therefore need spaces located near the States Building. The Committee accepts that the public need for accessible and convenient spaces in St. Helier overrides that of States members' needs; however, it also acknowledges that States Members have a civic duty to perform and should not be hindered in doing so.
The Committee considers this to be a peripheral matter and is disappointed that Deputy E.J. Noel of St. Lawrence has seen fit to raise it by way of a proposition, when it could be resolved without the need for a States debate. The Committee would also be interested to know whether Deputy Noel consulted with any of the users of Snow Hill car park before lodging this proposition.
