WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY T.M. PITMAN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 24TH FEBRUARY 2009

Question

Further to the information given to the Assembly by his predecessor on 21st October 2008, would the Minister consider releasing the key documents leading to the road works at Bel Royal, and if not, why not?

Answer

The information which the Deputy refers to was a Statement issued by my predecessor regarding the Victoria Avenue resurfacing works. The statement aimed to clarify the facts relating to the contract which led to a lack of coordination with the emergency services which ultimately cost £3k to correct as part of a £1.2m project. The statement was intended to provide Members with all the relevant information relating to the matter and to demonstrate the actions the department had taken to ensure that a similar incident would not occur on future projects.

If the Deputy is referring to the contract documentation relating to the project, I am happy to release this information to him.
