WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE DEPUTY OF GROUVILLE

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 23rd FEBRUARY 2016

Question

How much money has been budgeted for the provision of the Eastern Cycle Network? Could the Minister detail –

  1. the balance from the original sum of £500,000 that the States Assembly provided from the amendment to the 2010 budget (P.117/2009 Amd.(5));
  2. how much has been collected through planning gain and the provision for the Eastern Cycle Network from developments which fall within the Eastern Cycle Network Corridor; and
  3. how much, if any, was collected from The Willows development in Gorey Village and the Co-op development on Rue à Don?

Answer

  1. The remaining balance from the original sum is £289,620, of which £215,000 has been allocated towards constructing the link from Checkers at Ville és Renaud to Grouville School (work commenced on site). This completes the path from Gorey to Grouville School. The remaining £74,620 has been combined with the Planning Obligation Agreement' POA gains and allocated towards the development and delivery of the next phases of the Eastern Cycle Network.
  2. Total value of signed POAs to date is £105k. The first tranche of £25k to be provided through the Island Plan's Eastern Cycle Corridor provision is due for payment in 2016. The payment profile of the remaining POAs and / or transfers of land is dependent upon the contents of individual agreements and when or whether the various projects proceed on site.
  3. The Willows POA provided a £10k contribution and the Co Op signed a POA to create a public footpath / cycleway across the frontage of their site, as shown on the drawings which forms part of the POA available at: http://www.gov.je/sitecollectiondocuments/government%20and%20administration/poa%20- %20de%20la%20mare%20florist%20-%2006.03.2014.pdf)
