WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE DEPUTY OF GROUVILLE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 18TH JULY 2017
Question
Since the States Assembly agreed to introduce a contribution to the Eastern Cycle Network in the Island Plan, will the Minister set out how much money, if any, his Department has received for the construction of the Eastern Cycle Network, as well as the dates on which funding was received and from whom it was received?
Will he also set out in detail which phases of the Eastern Cycle Network have been built and at what cost? Answer
This question is very similar to the one asked by Deputy of Grouville to the Minister for Environment at the previous States sitting [1240/5/1(395) – The administration of the contribution to the Eastern Cycle Network].
Since the States Assembly agreed to introduce a contribution to the Eastern Cycle Network (ECN) in the Island Plan (Policy TT3), the Department for Infrastructure collects funds via Planning Obligation Agreements (POAs) to fund the development of the network.
A total of 31 planning applications have POAs attached to them requiring financial contribution to the development of the Eastern Cycle Route Network with a total value of £621,720. The details of these POAs, in relation to the nature of the agreement and the parties involved, are in the public domain and available in the Register of Planning Obligation Agreements are held by the Department of the Environment and published on the States website.
The Department for Environment is responsible for administering the monies collected through POAs and to date has released £424,720 in relation to the development of the ECN. A further £197,000 remains payable from developments that are yet to commence.
Appendix A in question #395 (mentioned above) contains information relating to dates on which funding was received and from whom it was received.
In terms of the phases of the ECN that have been built and the costs, these are summarised in the table below.
Section Description Cost
| Gorey to Grouville Fuel Station | £170,000 |
|
Gorey Fuel Station to Pembroke Hotel £200,000
The next phase scheduled to be delivered is the section from Le Hocq to Le Rocquier School, which has a budgeted value of £250,000. This is to cover feasibility, consultation, design, contract procurement, project management, construction and contingency. Work is due to commence on this section in the school summer holidays in 2017.
A further amount of £150,000, including £50,000 from a separate POA in the area, has been allocated to the ECN for a section from Le Rocquier School to Le Squez.
