3.7 Deputy T.M. Pitman of the Minister for Economic Development regarding anti-social behaviour involving cars and motorbikes on the road along Albert Quay:
Following on from my question of 16th June regarding spiralling antisocial behaviour involving cars and motorbikes on the road along the Albert Quay, would the Minister advise the Assembly whether this matter has been referred to the police or harbour authorities for further action to be taken?
Senator P.F. Routier (Assistant Minister for Economic Development -
rapporteur):
Jersey Harbours has been working closely with the police to try and contain this growing problem. The police have increased their patrols in this area during the peak periods. The police patrol units also respond to additional requests by the department security team to assist in moving the people and their cars away from the area. As a matter of routine, Jersey Harbours supplies copies of incident reports within the port area to assist the police in allocating their resources.
3.7.1 Deputy T.M. Pitman:
A supplementary, Sir. Is the Assistant Minister aware that the police do indeed come but the vehicles leave and are back within 10 minutes? My point is that the police have recently been given the registration of 40 vehicles and yet very little is happening. Can he give the residents any reassurance that something will finally be done?
Senator P.F. Routier:
Yes, I am certainly aware that it is a persistent problem that people are moved off the area and do come back again. As I say in my earlier answer, we do give regular information to the police. I will speak to the Minister for Home Affairs to see if anything can be done to ensure things are followed up.
