WQ.391/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS
BY DEPUTY S.M. AHIER OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th OCTOBER 2020
Question
Will the Minister state, for the period 2015 to present –
- the number of reports to the States of Jersey Police of people cycling or skateboarding on pavements;
- the number of reports to the Police of people involved in a collision with cyclists or skateboarders on pavements; and
- the number of people hospitalised by such incidences?
Answer
The States of Jersey Police are not able to provide this data in the time frame available.
Whilst this information is collected as part of individual cases, and therefore the data is held, collating it would require an individual going back and manually researching and counting each separate offence which involved those modes of transport. This is not an effective or proportionate use of Police time.
With that being said, the Police continue to have dedicated resources working within the town area who will proactively engage and, when required, report persons who continue to use pedal cycles, scooters and skateboards on pavements in and around the town area.
The Police would be willing to meet with the Deputy and discuss this issue if he wishes.
