WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY S.Y. MÉZEC OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th APRIL 2016
Question
Could the Minister provide both the total amount and a breakdown of how much public money has been spent on the various projects over the past two decades to devise a plan to restore Fort Regent as a major commercial and recreation centre for the Island?
Answer
The requested time period spans several Departments and Committees. The studies conducted over this period are shown in the table below. Unfortunately in the time available it has not been possible to gather the information on the costs of the projects listed. I will ensure the Deputy , and the Assembly, are provided with this information as soon as it can be compiled with the assistance of colleagues from Treasury & Resources.
Since the recent transfer of functions in January 2016, where responsibility for Fort Regent moved to the Economic Development, Tourism, Sport & Culture Department, developing a long term solution balancing the needs of the Island has been made a priority. This work is being undertaken by a newly constituted Ministerial and officer team (Future Fort 50') under the Chairmanship of Assistant Minister, Connétable Steve Pallett.
