WRITTEN QUESTION TO CHAIRMAN OF COMITE DES CONNÉTABLES BY SENATOR B.E. SHENTON
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 8th SEPTEMBER 2008
Question
With the possibility of the green waste facility at La Collette being closed (P.133/2008 - Composting site, La Collette, St. Helier - cessation of operation) will the Chairman outline the arrangements, if any, that have been, or will be, put in place by the 12 Parishes to cope with the disposal of green waste should the La Collette facility be closed with no alternative facility provided by the Transport and Technical Services Department?
Answer
Responsibility for the disposal of green waste rests with the Transport and Technical Services department and the parishes have no plans to deal with green waste should the La Collette facility be closed. It has never been the responsibility of the parishes to collect or to dispose of green waste. No alternative sites have been identified and the parishes generally have no facilities or resources available.
The Connétable s have discussed with the Minister for Transport and Technical Services the possible need for an alternative site, or sites, to La Collette and will continue to assist in considering the suitability of sites within their parishes identified by the Minister so that the department may be able to provide an alternative facility.
