WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMITÉ DES CONNÉTABLES BY DEPUTY G.C.L. BAUDAINS OF ST. CLEMENT

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 1st APRIL 2014

Question

Would the Chairman advise which of the parishes continue to collect bannelais and, for those that do, do they dispose of it for agricultural or other purposes?

Answer

Bannelais, or road sweepings, are collected by 3 parishes. St Brelade use it for composting; St Peter use it for any purpose for which it is suitable (but report that demand is almost non-existent); and St Helier (which by agreement with the Transport and Technical Services Department now deals with only those roads within the ring road) do not use it for agricultural or other purposes.

Five other parishes ( Grouville , St John, St Mary, St Ouën and Trinity ) use a contractor and we understand the contractor uses the bannelais for agricultural purposes.
