2.16  The Deputy of St. John of the Minister for Transport and Technical Services regarding the replacement of temporary barriers at Les Charriéres de Bonne Unit:

Not for the first time will I have asked this question. Despite having been given numerous assurances dating back before 2004 and 2005 that the work was imminent, the temporary barrier on Les Charriéres de Bonne Nuit has still not been replaced. Will the Minister advise when this work will finally be undertaken, given that I was given an email some months ago that this work would be done before the end of 2010?  Will the Minister please tell us? The residents and friends of Bonne Nuit have been on to me now for 7 years on this.

The Connétable of St. Brelade (The Minister for Transport and Technical

Services):

Delays have occurred due to very complicated land ownership issues at the location where the permanent barrier is to be placed. The department will be undertaking site investigations in the coming weeks and presenting its preferred design for a safety barrier to the Connétable by the end of March. Works are due to commence on site in April and all permanent works will be complete by early summer; hopefully, subject to final approval, utilising a wooden-faced steel barrier, which will be somewhat more aesthetically pleasing from the present temporary arrangements.

2.16.1  The Deputy of St. John :

On this occasion can this Chamber take what has been given to the Deputy of St. John by the Minister for Transport and Technical Services as gospel? Will he please confirm this is gospel on this occasion?

The Connétable of St. Brelade :

I am confident, as a result of meetings held last week, that this matter will be progressed according to the timescales I have suggested.

The Deputy of St. John :

On a point of order if I may, Sir. You said earlier reference to a Street Works Law was in the public domain.  Given that it is not in the public domain because it is being worked on by the department at the moment, would that be a correct point of order, Sir, to say that?

The Deputy Bailiff :

It is in the public domain as to whether or not the law had been passed. That was the issue that you raised.

The Deputy of St. John :

I raised whether it had been passed and whether it had been laid as a working document.

The Deputy Bailiff :

You raised whether it had been passed and that is a matter in the public domain. It either has or it has not and it is in the public domain.
