WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY S.S.A.P. POWER OF ST. BRELADE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 29TH APRIL 2008
Question
"Following the States decision to annul the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment No. 9) (Jersey) Order 2007 which required all heavy goods vehicles, medium goods vehicles of GLW over 3.5t and vehicles drawing trailers (among others) to display a 30' mph sticker, would the Minister advise whether the owners of the said vehicles will receive a re-imbursement to meet the costs of the redundant signage and stickers affixed to their vehicles?"
Answer
The implementation date of the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment No 9) (Jersey) Order 2007 was 1st January 2008 and the act annulling the Order is dated 1st April 2008. During those dates, it was law to display a 30 mph sticker on certain vehicles and those motorists and hauliers who affixed appropriate signage or stickers did so to comply with the law. The fact it is no longer law is as a result of a States decision and not a reversal of the Minister's decision.
I understand that most of the stickers were priced about £4.50 with some of the more rigid signage being a little more. I do not consider that it is appropriate that the costs of this be reimbursed as people were correctly complying with the law as it stood at that time.
