Waterfront Enterprise Board - questions and answers (Tape No. 303)

The Connétable of St. Helier asked Senator Reginald Robert Jeune , President of the Policy and Resources Committee, the following questions -

1. Wo uld the President advise members

w hen t he Committee proposes to

pr es e nt to the States a report on

the pr ogr ess regarding the

de vel opm ent of the waterfront area

an d t he plans of the Waterfront

E nt er pr ise Board ( WEB'')?

2 . Is it the Committee's intention to

i ns t itute a full debate on the

deve lopment proposals prior to

i nv esting WEB with the authority to pr oc eed?

3 . The Strategic Policy Review 1995 Part I I i de ntifies among the Lower Priority

P r oj ects to 2000 (paragraph 7.18 on

page 60), the retention of the

Wei ghbridge bus terminus at its present s ite and the construction of buildings

and t he creation of an enclosed area'.

T he s tatement is also made that the

Wei ghbridge area needs to form a back- s top' to Liberation Square rather than

r em ain as it is, if the benefit of

L i be ration Square is to be maximised in ar chi tectural terms''. Having regard

f or t he fact that the States has twice

deci ded, in the Island Plan debate and

i n t he debate on the St. Helier

Wat erfront Plan based on the work of

A n dr ews Downie, that the bus terminus s houl d be relocated to the Island site,

w o ul d the President -

( a) explain why a proposal contrary to t ho se decisions is included in the

S t rat egic Policy Review, and

( b) undertake to provide the States with an oppor tunity to debate this specific

s ubj ect at an early date?''

The President of the Policy and Resources Committee replied as follows -

1. My Committee will be considering a

dr af t r epor t and proposition later

thi s w e ek on which it will also be

se eki ng t he views of the Planning

an d E nvi ronment Committee. Once

thes e vi ews are known, the Policy

an d R es ources Committee will

fi na li s e its report and

pr opos ition and I hope to be in a

pos i ti on to present this to the

H ous e before the end of October.

2 . My Committee is fully aware of the wish of m any States members to have an

oppor tunity to express their views on

t he w ay forward for the development of

t he Wa terfront area and as stated in

t he ans wer to the previous question it

i s t he intention to provide members

w i t h that opportunity at an early date.

3 . The Strategic Policy Review 1995 Part I I i n r eferring to the lower priority

pr oj ects to 2000 (paragraph 7.18 on

page 60) merely provides a précis

des cription of all the individual

pr oj ects for which capital funds were

r eq uested by Committees, including the Wat erfront Enterprise Board. This

des criptive summary of what the request i nv olves does not in any way imply that w h at is being put forward has the

s uppo rt of my Committee or of the

S t a tes.

T he C onnétable will be aware from

r ec ent media comment, following a

m e eting between representatives of the Wat erfront Enterprise Board and the

T our ism Committee, that the Board has under taken to review the options for

t he f uture location of the buses. I

w o ul d also point out in this respect

t ha t there can be no departure from the

T ow n Map No. 3-92 approved by the

S t a tes on 10th November 1992 (which map i s bas ed on the work of Andrews Downie and p rovides for the buses to be

l ocated on the Weighbridge Island'

s it e ) without the prior approval of the

S t a tes.''

Dumping at Ronez - questions and answers (Tape No. 303)

Deputy Philip John Rondel of St. John asked Deputy Harry Hall ewell Baudains of St. Clement , Vice-President of the Planning and Environment Committee, the following questions -

1. I s the Vice-President aware that,

the P res ident advised me, in a

let ter , dat ed 25th July 1995, that the S ea Fisheries Adviser had

pr epar ed a report on the effects

of dum ping at Ronez?

Woul d the Vice-President advise members

i f i t is the intention of the Planning

and E nvironment Committee to publish t ha t report?

2 . Is the Vice-President aware that the l et t er of 25th July stated that a

vi si ting coastal expert had also given advi ce on the long-term effect of the dum ping on the marine environment?

Woul d the Vice-President inform the S t a tes of the name of that expert and t he ext ent of his expertise in these

m at ters?

3 . Did the Sea Fisheries Adviser and the

vi si ting expert carry out a full

exam ination of the area? If so, would

t he V ice-President inform members how f ar bel ow chart datum has the rubble,

s il t, et c. gone out to sea, both in an

eas terly and northerly direction?

4 . Would the Vice-President state the es timated gross tonnage of material t ha t has been tipped into the sea?

5 . Is the Vice-President aware that in a

l et t er, dated 12th July 1995, the

P r es ident of the Agriculture and

F i sher ies Committee claimed that the

P l a nning and Environment Committee had al r ea dy carried out an independent

s ur vey of the area. Would the Vice-

P r es ident confirm whether such a survey

w a s carried out and, if so, is it the

i nt ent ion of the Planning and

E nvi ronment Committee to publish the

r es ul ts of the survey?''

The Vice-President of the Planning and Environment Committee replied as follows -

1. I am aware of the letter sent to

D eput y R ondel on 25th July 1995. Indeed I have circulated a copy of that l et ter, together with a copy

of t he r eport of the Sea Fisheries

A dvi ser for all members to see.

I n a ddition, I have circulated for

t he i nformation of Deputy Rondel and ot h er members, a copy of a letter from t he S tates' Environmental Adviser expr essing similar views on the matter.

2 . The visiting expert was Dr. Eric C. F. B i r d.

D r . B ird is a coastal geomorphologist, a gr aduate of King's College, London, and t he Australian National University, C anber ra. He has held lecturing posts

at U niversity College, London, and the A u s tralian National University, and is now a Reader in Geomorphology at the U n i versity of Melbourne as well as

P r oj ect Co-Ordinator for Coastal

R es earch at the United Nations

U n i versity, Tokyo. He was Chairman of t he I nternational Geographical Union

C om mission on the Coastal Environment f rom 1972 to 1984.

A s s  uch, Dr. Bird is an

i nt er nationally recognised expert on coas tal geomorphology.

3 . No. Both were asked for an opinion

bas ed on the information available and r ea s onably observable.

T he S ea Fisheries Adviser's note and dr a wing indicates the eastward extent of t he drift of dumped material -

appr oximately 500 metres. The sea bed f al l s away steeply in this area and the nor thern extent of deposits is not

r ea di ly discernible from the water

s ur f ace or from the land.

4 . In the light of the answer to question 3 i t has not been possible to quantify t he t  onnage of the dumped material.

5 . I am not aware of the letter to which t he D eputy refers in this question.

T he P lanning and Environment Committee has not carried out an independent

s ur vey of the Ronez area other than

t ho se referred to already.

R onez Limited itself commissioned a s tudy ea rlier this year into the

envi ronmental impact of its operations. I t w as advised by the States

E nvi ronmental Adviser (then the

P l a nning Department's Conservation O f f icer) in the selection of a

cons ultant.

T he s tudy, by Oakwood Environmental, w a s conducted in consultation with the P l a nning Department, and made certain r ec om mendations for changes in the

pr a ctices of the company. These

i nc l uded, among other things, a review of t he practice of depositing

aggr egates on the western foreshore for

w a s hing and rounding prior to

s ubs equent use in concrete making and t ippi ng on the eastern foreshore to

s tr eng then sea defences against the cons iderable erosion that takes place.

A s a r esult of the study, and in a

w r i tten agreement with the Committee in May 1995, both of these operations

cea sed immediately and have not resumed s ince.

T he C ompany has applied to the

C om mittee to construct a rock wall on t he eas tern foreshore to stabilise the er o sion.

A s t he report was commissioned by the com pany, it is not within the gift of

t he C ommittee to make copies available t o m embers.''

On-street closed circuit television - questions and answers (Tape No. 303)

Deputy Gary Matthews of St. Brelade asked Deputy Michael Adam Wavell of St. Saviour , President of the Defence Committee, the following questions -

1. I n Appendix 3.6 to the Strategic

P ol i c y R eview 1995 - Part II,

R es our ces Plan, (page 29), which de s cr ibe s individual projects

w i thi n t he recommended capital pr ogr a mme 1996 - 1999, there

ap pear s in section 2.2. States

P ol i c e' an item for On Street

C C T V ' of £300,000 to continue w i th t he i nitiative commenced in 199 5' .

Woul d the President agree that -

( a ) States' members have received

no i nf or mation of the appraisal of the s i x -month trial' of the

cl os e d ci rcuit television unit,

si tu at e d on top of the Central

M ar ke t;

( b ) States members should not be asked to appr ove the capital expenditure

it em f or On Street CCTV' until

the S tat es have had the

opp or t unity to consider an

ap pr ai sal of the trial'?

2 . Will the President undertake to report back to members before the end of 1995 w i t h either a full statement on his

C om mittee's policy on CCTV and the

s ucc ess, or otherwise, of the trial'

cam era or a proposition requesting the S t a tes to approve in principle' the

cont inuation of the experiment?

3 . What decisions have the Defence

C om mittee made with respect to the

r eq uired number and location of CCTV cam eras in 1996?

4 . Has the Committee taken advice as to w h et her it is possible for film from

t he s urveillance cameras to be used as

evi denc e in the Police or Royal Courts? Woul d the President undertake to

com municate any such advice to States m em bers?''

The President of the Defence Committee replied as follows -

1.(a) The purpose of the current trial'

of t he C CTV camera on Beresford

S tr ee t i s to examine the technical

opt i o ns available for a town

ce nt r e s cheme. It is not the

pur pos e of this trial' to decide

on t he need for a more

co m pr ehensive installation.

M em ber s of my Committee fully

su ppor t the installation of CCTV

as one p ositive step towards our

ai m s t o r educe crime and apprehend of f en der s. Following the six month t ri al ' t he States of Jersey

P ol i c e w ill use the technical

inf or m ation gathered, together

w i th t hat obtained from other

ar eas w ith CCTV in operation in

or der t o produce an operational

requi rem ent. It is with reference

to t h i s s pecification that

pot ent ial suppliers will bid for a

co nt r act . These tendering

doc um ents will be subject to the

ap pr ova l of my Committee. If

S tat e s' members wish to have

ac ces s to these documents after

they ha ve been submitted to my

C om m ittee I will be pleased to

di s cu s s this with you at the

ap pr opr iate stage of the tendering

pr oces s.

( b ) As already stated, the objectives of t he trial' relate to the

inves ti gation of technical opt i o ns . The information gleaned fr om t h e trial' will be used to

pr oduce tendering documents and not t o produce some form of

appr ai sal' of CCTV as a concept. M y C om mittee is unanimous in its su ppor t of the use of CCTV. The

obj ec ti ves of the trial' are to

de t er m ine the suitability of the

cu r r e nt ly available technology for ca pt u r e, transmission and storage of vi d eo i mages.

2 . The installation of CCTV as a measure

t o c ombat the problems of public

di sor der is a matter for my Committee.

T he us e of CCTV in public car parks

adm inistered by the Public Services

C om mittee (of which Deputy Matthews is a m ember) has been a success which we

on t he Defence Committee wish to

m ir ror. At no time was the question of

cam eras in public car parks debated in

t he H ouse. The reason for this was that

P ubl ic Services saw the security of

vehi cles and the public in their car

par k as being the responsibility of

t he i r Committee as policing of our

s tr ee ts is one of the responsibilities

of m y Committee. I have been given a

m andat e by this House to explore new

i ni t iatives in the fight against crime

and p ublic order. I am delighted, as

ar e m embers of my Committee, that the

P ol icy and Resources Committee has

r ec ogni sed the importance of law and

or de r within its Strategic Policy

docum ent. Already, the States of Jersey

P ol ice and Honorary Police are co-

oper ating in the use of this

t echnol ogy, with both organisations

r ec ogni sing the potential of such

equi pment.

3 . No decision can yet be made as to the

exac t number and deployment of on-

s tr ee t cameras during 1996. It would be

cava lier in the extreme to make

s w eep ing assumptions without having

condu cted appropriate research into all

t he ava ilable options. The Research

D e par tment of the States of Jersey

P ol ice is working to a pre-defined and

pr of essional project plan in order to

pr od uce a system appropriate to the

need s of the Island. Operational

r eq uirements will be submitted to my

C om mittee during November with the aim of i nstalling an on-street CCTV scheme

i n S t. Helier during the summer of 1996. T his will probably represent the f ir s t phase of the project as I have no doubt that the public will request

f ur t her enhancements as the system pr ov es its success.

4 . There is a responsibility on the Police t o e nsure that wherever possible the

be s t evidence' must be made available and u sed in Courts. The use of

vi d eotape is one such piece of evidence avai lable to the Police in their fight

agai nst crime and public disorder. In

f ac t , I am able to illustrate the use

of s uch evidence by certain examples

w h er e, as a direct result of videotape

bei ng m ade available to the Police and t he C ourts, offenders have been

capt ured and subsequently convicted.

O ne such case involved the identification

o f a suspect and a vehicle from security

v ideo equipment in Pier Road car park, as a r esult of which five youths were questioned a nd an admission gained that nine strip

l ights in this car park had been damaged.

A nother case involved the apprehension of

o ffenders in connexion with stealing

p roperty from a vehicle, again in Pier Road c ar park, again where CCTV was available. T hirdly, another example involved videotape e vidence which was made available to the

P olice from a bank in St. Helier , which

i dentified the offender using a stolen

c redit card and making cash withdrawals

f rom a cash-point machine in Bath Street.

I ncidentally, the time and date on which

t hese withdrawals were made were also

a vailable on the tape. This was crucial

e vidence and enabled the Police to take

s till photographs from the video and submit t hose photographs as evidence to the

C ourts.

I am sure that few of you will disagree

t hat results such as this are most

e ncouraging in our drive to reduce crime

a nd public disorder in Jersey. I need not

r emind you that this was very much the

t hrust of the Strategy Policy document in

c onnexion with reducing crime and I think

t hat by exemplifying these cases, two of

w hich arose from public service car parks

a nd the other a financial institution, in

m any ways answers Deputy Gary Matthews' q uestion, that, yes, videotape evidence is

b eing used for the Courts as best evidence

a nd will continue to be so.''
