WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY G.C.L. BAUDAINS OF ST. CLEMENT

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 3rd JUNE 2008

Question

"Would the Chief Minister outline the nature of, and who was included in, the consultation process associated with the erection of the Ferris wheel on Waterfront property administered by WEB and would he advise whether any financial implications arise for either the States or WEB?"

Answer

The Waterfront Enterprise Board was approached by Paul Talbot, the organiser and co-ordinator of the event, to place the wheel at Les Jardins de la Mer on public land that is administered by WEB.

A condition of the approval to use the site was that the organiser obtained all necessary consents.

Mr. Talbot duly received approvals and support from Jersey Airport, Jersey Harbours, Planning and Environment Department and the Tourism Department.

The Waterfront Enterprise Board has levied a fee of £7,000 for the use of the site for a period of 18 weeks. The organiser is responsible for all operating and re-instatement costs together with all necessary insurances (Public Liability insurance cover = £10m).
