WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 21st FEBRUARY 2012
Question
Would the Minister provide a detailed breakdown of how the available funds for the creation of the Millennium Town Park have been spent?
Answer
The Millennium Town Park project has a budget of £11,571,832.94 which is a combination of £10m that was voted by the States in 2010 and the remainder (£1,571,832.94) which was transferred from Property Holdings who previously held the planning vote for the project before it was transferred to Transport and Technical Services.
The new Millennium Town Park opened at the end of October 2011 with some small remaining items being completed by December 2011. Transport and Technical Services are currently working with the Park contractor to settle the final account for the project. It is not unusual for a complex account of this nature to take six months to finalise and as such, the figures listed below are the current best estimates which may alter when the final account is settled.
The total costs for the project will not exceed the available budget.
