WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOUSING BY DEPUTY J.M. MAÇON OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 15th MARCH 2011
Question
In light of the Minister for Treasury and Resources' statement on 2nd March 2011, that the Housing Department has had to reduce the works they are planning to undertake', can the Minister inform the Assembly which projects will be deferred?
Answer
There are a significant number of projects planned for the future and these are set out in the Annual Business Plan.
The provision of the fiscal stimulus funding set out in the Treasury & Resources Ministers' statement on 2nd March 2011 will ensure that the refurbishment of Pomme D'Or Farm is not delayed and existing funding will provide for the delivery of both the Clos Gosset and Jardin des Carreaux projects this year as planned. Projects for which the Department are currently pursuing alternative funding mechanisms are La Collette Phase 1, Le Squez phases 2c, 3 & 4, De Quetteville Court High Rise, La Collette Phase 2, Hampshire Gardens and Convent and Caesarea Courts. Long term funding solutions for the department are a key work stream of the Housing Transformation Programme which has been established to address this and other issues. I will set out the potential solutions which will likely include proposals to allow borrowing for such projects in a White Paper this summer.
