WQ.18/2018
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY J.M. MAÇON OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 30TH JANUARY 2018
Question
Will the Minister advise whether or not his Department has been approached by the Department of Education to extend primary schools and whether any such action is under consideration, in particular with regard to the following –
- Rouge Bouillon School, to the former States of Jersey Police headquarters site; and
- Plat Douet School, to the currently vacant Samuel Le Riche House site?
Answer
Officers of the Department for Infrastructure and the Education Department meet regularly to discuss issues affecting buildings providing educational services, including primary schools.
With regard to the specific schools referred to in the question:
- The funding requirements to redevelop the former Police and current Fire Station site to relocate the Fire Service are being considered as part of the States of Jersey Long Term Capital Programme. Funding for a feasibility study will be made available to support this process. As part of this feasibility work, the Department will work with officers of the Department of Education, and others, to consider whether the site of the current Fire and former Police Station could be reconfigured to provide for an extension to Rouge Bouillon Primary School as part of any future scheme.
- No discussions have taken place between the Education and DfI Departments with regard to the extension of Plat Douet School.
