WQ.538/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 10th DECEMBER 2019
Question
How much has the Minister's department spent in total on fitting bus shelters during the course of the last Medium Term Financial Plan; and will the Minister provide a breakdown of the location and individual cost of these bus shelters?
Answer
Since the Medium Term Financial Plan commenced in 2016, the total amount invested in waiting shelters for bus stops by my Department has been £391,831.81. This expenditure has delivered shelters at 23 locations across four batches, with a twenty-fourth structure in storage awaiting installation.
The shelters have been constructed in the following locations:-
Croix au Lion Southbound | Avalon Park Westbound |
Beach Road Westbound | Grande Charriere Westbound |
St Catherine Terminus | Longueville Manor Westbound |
Grasett Park Eastbound | Rozel (Apple Cottage) |
Don Farm Northbound | Springfield Stadium Northbound |
Belle Vue Northbound | Cleveland Road Westbound |
The Mermaid Northbound | Grouville School Westbound |
Red Houses Shops Northbound | Clos des Sables Eastbound |
St Brelades Bay Eastbound | Samares Avenue Westbound |
L'Horizon Hotel Eastbound | Trinity Gardens Southbound |
St Clements School Westbound | Bel Royal Gardens Eastbound |
Marett Road Westbound |
|
A breakdown of cost per shelter is not straightforward to produce, principally because many of these costs are shared across each batch, such as engineering design fees which vary depending on the challenges associated with each site but are not necessarily disaggregated within invoices. However, as an example of a modest shelter facility in an urban location where some kerb realignment was required to enable installation while retaining adequate footway width, a Freedom of Information request from 2018 relating to the shelter installed at the Cleveland Road bus stop identified a total cost of £14,560.
