WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY CONNÉTABLE OF ST. JOHN
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 5th JULY 2011
Question
Would the Minister advise how much has been spent on maintenance and resurfacing of the Island's roads each year since the removal of car tax?
Answer
The table below shows the highways spend since 1992. Unfortunately we do not have records for years 1995 through to 1998 due to legacy software issues.
Year | Highway Maintenance and Resurfacing £ |
1992 1993 1994 1995*1 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 | 483,058 555,859 Tax on Fuel started in 1994 425,695 n/a n/a n/a n/a 619,647 655,061 748,880 632,298 600,000 600,000 915,000 1,944,532 2,708,961 2,413,777 1,813,339 5,612,000 (Includes Economic Stimulus Funding) |
In December 2010 the annualised depreciation value of roads and footways based on a 20 year resurfacing cycle was £2.24 million. This figure can be considered as the lowest maintenance expenditure that should be spent on the roads to offset the depreciation cost. This figure would only maintain the roads and footways to the existing standard, an improved standard will require substantially more funding.
