WQ.164/2022

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE

BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. MARTIN

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 12th SEPTEMBER 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 20th SEPTEMBER 2022

Question

Will the Minister outline the Government of Jersey’s work programme to improve road safety during this Assembly’s term, with reference to the actions outlined in ‘Island Road Safety Review - December 2021’ (R.185/2021)?

Answer

The Island Road Safety Review had 23 recommendations. The Department is working in partnership with other Departments, to where possible deliver individual recommendations. However as outlined in the Review, the next critical step in meeting all recommendations is the development of an agreed Road Safety Strategy and the securing of necessary specialist road safety resources. I can confirm that work on the strategy is well advanced (though further key stakeholder consultation is required) and that a business case has been submitted for inclusion in the forthcoming Government Plan, approval of this will allow wider practical work towards the casualty reduction target to start during 2023.
