R & O 21/2001

The purpose of this Order is to consolidate the Orders relating to public parking places. The charges payable in respect of parking places are prescribed by a separate Order. The Order was made on 22nd January 2001 and comes into force on 1st February 2001. R & O 22/2001

The sole purpose of this Order is to prescribe charges in respect of public parking places. It is, however, to be read as one with the Road Traffic (Public Parking Places) (Jersey) Order 2001, which provides generally for public parking places.

Parking charges are increased by this Order.

The standard parking charge is increased from 35 pence to 39 pence.

The excess charge is increased from £20 to £40, if paid within 3 working days, and from £30 to £60 in any other case.

The season ticket charge is increased from £29 to £32.50 in respect of season tickets limited to certain parking places and from £58 to £65 for a wider range parking places.

The Order was made on 22nd January 2001 and comes into force on 1st February 2001.

R & O 23/2001

The purpose of this Order is to increase the charge for parking at certain places in St. Helier. The standard charge is increased from 35 pence to 39 pence.

The opportunity has been taken to link this charge with the standard charge prescribed for the purposes of the Road Traffic (Public Parking Places) (Jersey) Order 2001 so that in future only one Order need be made to vary parking charges.

The Order was made on 22nd January 2001 and comes into force on 1st February 2001.

R & O 24/2001

The purpose of this Order is to increase the charge for parking at certain places in St. Lawrence. The standard charge is increased from 35 pence to 39 pence.

O n the 10th of October the President said in response to another question "Being realistic, I hope that the Committee

will be in a position to present a report to the Assembly shortly after Christmas."

O n the 28th November in reply to supplementary questions to a question  from the Deputy of St. John on population

policy, the President indicated a report would be forthcoming early in 2001.

(a ) C an the President update the Assembly as to when a report on this vital issue is likely to be forthcoming?

Committee and Department and would he inform the Assembly what resources are being allocated to this?"
