r
LA COLLETTE, ST. HELIER: TRANSFER OF ADMINISTRATION OF ROADWAY
Lodged au Greffe on 8th July 2003
by the Environment and Public Services Committee
STATES GREFFE
PROPOSITION
THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion
(a ) to approve the transfer of administration from the Environment and Public Services Committee to
the Harbours and Airport Committee of the roadway at La Collette, St. Helier shown hatched on Drawing No. 001/01 attached at the Appendix; and
(b ) to authorise the Greffier of the States to sign the said drawing on behalf of the States.
ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE
REPORT
It is necessary for the harbours to transport boats to and from the La Collette Slipway to the main Boat Park area using its 16 and 65-tonne travel hoists. This requires that the roadway is kept clear of any obstructions including personnel and vehicles for short periods. Recent changes in port safety requirements will require some form of fixed traffic control, and the maintenance of the roadway is of paramount importance to the harbours to ensure safety when carrying very heavy and valuable loads. Also, the ability to police the roadway cannot currently be achieved under the Harbours (Administration) (Jersey) Law 1961.
As can be seen on the drawing attached, part of this roadway, serving the harbour workshops, Housing and the rear of Driver and Vehicle Standards Departments is already under the administration of Harbours and it is thus thought logical for the reasons above to extend this to the full length of the road as shown by the hatched lines.
The additional financial implications are that the maintenance responsibilities of the Committee will become those of the Harbours who are the main users.
There are no manpower implications.
