WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE BY CONNÉTABLE A.S. CROWCROFT OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 6th JUNE 2006

Question

Would the Minister provide an update on the position of the Move on Café' on the Island Site, and indicate what alternative facilities, if any, will be available for young people when this drop-in centre closes?

Answer

I understand that the Move On Café' is secure until the end of August 2006. The Youth Service is currently working with a number of other organisations, the Parish of St Helier, Waterfront Enterprise Board, and the Harbours Department to secure alternative facilities in close vicinity to the Move On Café' for young people living in or coming to the area.

A number of options have been considered. The most favoured, and the option being actively pursued, is the development of facilities for young people on a converted historic vessel to be moored against the wall in the harbour by the Maritime Museum.
