Reclamation site at La Collette 11 – questions and answers (Tape No. 487)

Senator Stuart Syvret asked Deputy Jeremy Laurence Dorey of St. Helier, President of the Public Services Committee, the following questions –

 "1. Woul d the President inform the Assembly of –

( a ) t he total cost of the construction of the reclamation site at La Collette II, including site

preparation, the construction of walls, professional fees etc;

( b ) the pr edicted lifespan of the site when it was opened;

( c ) t he pr oportion of the site which will have been filled by the end of 1998, and its predicted

lifespan based on the current rate of fill;

( d ) the t o tal additional capital costs i.e. ash pits;

( e ) th e ann ual cost of maintaining and staffing the site?

  1. Woul d the President also inform the Assembly of –

( a ) t he e stimated annual tonnage of glass which is dumped at La Collette II, the proportion of

total annual landfill which this represents, and the estimated annual cost of glass tipping;

( b ) t h e e stimated value of the lost dumping charges which would otherwise be payable for the

landfill space occupied by glass;

( c ) the es timated annual cost of incinerating the proportion of glass which is mixed with general

domestic refuse, in terms of the fixed and variable costs of Bellozanne incinerator?

( d ) t he e stimated annual tonnage and cost of 3/8th aggregate or similar (e.g. blinding concrete)

used by the Public Services Department during the past four years (1994-1998)?

  1. Woul d the President explain to the Assembly –

( a ) w h et her he considers the Island's landfill site to be a resource of primary importance to the

Island;

( b ) w hy his Department continues to use virgin mineral resources of 3/8th aggregate when a

local company has expressed its willingness to produce the same from crushed glass;

( c ) w het her he considers his Committee's refusal to allow the recycling of glass to be consistent

with presenting Jersey as a model of sustainability'?''

The President of the Public Services Committee replied as follows –

" T h e three questions from Senator Syvret are extremely detailed and to answer in full would require additional detailed analysis of available data which was not possible in the time available between receiving the questions and today's meeting of the States. Given the uncertainty which existed until today as to who would be the new President, I hope the House would agree that it would be preferable

for such detailed matters to be dealt with at the first States sitting of the New Year. However, I believe it may

be helpful to update members on the current position regarding waste management on the Island.

T he P ublic Services Committee considered its current policy on waste management in April 1998 and

concluded in the light of previous re-cycling initiatives, the failure of the request for capital funds to be made available for flue gas cleaning, and the age of the Bellozanne incinerator plant that the Committee should immediately initiate an Island-wide solid waste management strategy review.

In May 1998 the Finance and Economics Committee approved the request for a planning vote in the

sum of £60,000.00 for this review. A working party, which included the Environmental Adviser, was established and consultants brief drawn up, which led to the appointment of a firm of consultants. The working party concluded that, in order for the Island to address its long-term strategic requirements for waste disposal, advice and guidance relating to the best current practice in Europe should be sought. The consultancy has been let to a firm which has Danish connexions, Denmark being a country which deals with its solid waste with a high degree of waste minimisation and recycling.

T he k ey outputs from the review will be –

a n ana l ys i s of current waste volumes and types;

a com par at ive analysis of current waste management options;

as s es s m ent of the economic, environmental and organisational consequences of alternative waste

strategies and systems, leading to an integrated waste management plan for the Island.

T he r eview will focus on the now internationally recognised Waste Hierarchy', the key objectives of

which are –

t o r educ e t he amount of waste that society produces; t o m ake bes t use of the waste that is produced; and

to cho os e waste management practices which minimise the risks of immediate and future

environmental pollution and harm to human health.

P re l im inary investigations and data gathering exercises have been carried out and the consultants will

be visiting the Island throughout the next two to three months to conduct a series of Public Consultation programmes to gain the views of Island residents. It is anticipated that the final report will be presented to the Public Services Committee at the end of March 1999 and, once approved, will be presented to the States.

T he out come of this study will establish a sound strategy for the minimisation, recycling and disposal

of the solid waste in Jersey. It is, without doubt, one of the key issues for the future well-being of the Island.

A l l of the issues raised by Senator Syvret will be included in the study and, as stated earlier, the results

of the study will be presented to the States as soon as it is completed.

 I w ou ld hope that Senator Syvret and other members are prepared to await the outcome of that study.''

Service level agreement with Condor Limited – statement

The President of the Jersey Transport Authority made a statement in the following terms –

" W hen, on 30th of June, this Assembly supported the Jersey Transport Authority's plans for the car- ferry service between Jersey and the United Kingdom, I promised that the appointed company would

be required to comply with a detailed Service Level Agreement. I am pleased to be able to tell members that

this agreement was signed earlier this morning by the President of the Harbours and Airport Committee and the Chairman of Condor Limited. A similar agreement will be signed by the President of the Guernsey Transport Board. Copies of the Agreement will be circulated to members during today's meeting.

A nu mber of elements of the Agreement, which will officially come into force on 1st of January 1999

and last for three years, are already in place. At the insistence of the Authority, Condor Limited introduced a conventional ship in October to provide cover in all but the severest weather. This will be replaced next year by a specially commissioned ship capable of carrying freight and passengers which will operate a year-round service to Portsmouth. The company has also acquired the second of two high-speed craft which will provide a minimum of two sailings per day in each direction to Poole and Weymouth.

T he S ervice Level Agreement specifies that adequate staffing must be in place in the company's ships

and on shore; dictates the standard of comfort which must be achieved and protects the public from excessive fare increases year on year. The Agreement speaks of the quality and frequency of information which must be given to passengers at all times but especially during delays. And, in a major new provision, independent passengers who suffer delays of more than four hours because of technical problems will be entitled to cancel their fare and receive a full refund or continue their journey but be given compensation equal to half the fare paid.

In l ine with assurances which I gave members, Condor Limited will sign a side-letter of agreement

agreeing to work towards a formal appropriate accreditation for an internationally recognised standard of customer care. A customer charter will be published and made available to all passengers.

Mem bers will also wish to know that the Service Level Agreement allows the Harbours and Airport

Committee to give the Company six months' written notice of its intention to terminate the Agreement if the service fails materially to comply with the standards laid down, and lays out an arbitration procedure to deal with such an eventuality.

I w oul d like to acknowledge publicly the efforts made by Condor Limited to improve its services and

to repair the damage caused to the Company's own reputation and that of the Island during 1997.

In t he opinion of the Authority, the Service Level Agreement is a major step forward in providing

protection for travellers and I am delighted to be able to reveal today that, in due course, subject to successful negotiations, it is the intention of the Authority in conjunction with the Harbours and Airport Committee that similar agreements will be drawn up to cover the ferry services operated by Channel Hoppers and Emeraude Lines."
