2.8 Deputy S.C. Ferguson of the Minister for Planning and Environment regarding arrangements for disabled parking at the Weighbridge when the area was redeveloped: Given that there is currently only one disabled parking space near the Jersey Museum would the Minister advise Members what the arrangements for disabled parking will be at the Weighbridge when the area is redeveloped and how many spaces will be provided?
Senator F.E. Cohen (The Minister for Planning and Environment):
As stated by the Deputy currently there is only one disabled car parking space available in Caledonia Place. The drawings for the new Weighbridge Square do not as yet show the location of replacement disabled parking. However, in conjunction with the Waterfront Enterprise Board and the Minister for Transport and Technical Services we are currently looking at proposals to incorporate 2 disabled spaces in Weighbridge Place. I hope the Deputy will accept an invitation to join these discussions to ensure that disabled parking facilities are appropriate.
2.8.1 Deputy S.C. Ferguson:
I thank the Minister. However, there is currently a proposal to increase the size of pavements at the top of Don Street beyond Beresford Street and this proposal will extinguish the current disabled parking there. Will the Minister review the location and availability of disabled spaces in town to ensure that the number is not unduly reduced?
Senator F.E. Cohen:
I think the supplementary question is more for the Minister for Transport and Technical Services. I for my part will do whatever I can to review disabled car parking spaces and I extend again the invitation to the Deputy to assist me in this process.
