WQ.192/2018
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 9th OCTOBER 2018
Question
Further to the response to Written Question 163/2018 can the Minister advise –
- why more permits have been issued to tenants than there are spaces available for parking at Andium Homes sites, including De Quetteville Court; and
- why members of the public have been issued parking permits for Andium Homes sites, such as Liberation Court?
Answer
The following answer has been provided by Andium Homes:-
- Whilst every effort is made to answer the demand for parking from residents there is a need to be equitable to all. The permit system used on many of Andium Homes' sites has been proven to be a reasonable means of giving residents access to parking on a first come first served basis. In most instances demand for permits from residents is within the overall estate capacity.
- A number of non-residents General Public' have been provided with permits for use at Liberation Court. A proportion of these are for medical reasons, generally family members supporting tenants who are allowed to park for a maximum of 3 hours at a time and a number of permits are provided for tenants of a neighbouring Housing Trust development. In addition, there are a number of fee- paying parkers paying a commercial rate for parking on the site. There are 120 such paid parkers across Andium Homes' various sites. The majority of these will be commuters and because of the general working hours the usage has minimal impact on residents. The resultant income stream is important for Andium Homes and essentially covers the cost of managing the permit system across the entire stock, this is particularly important given that unlike many other landlords Andium Homes does not charge its tenants for parking.
