8 Deputy M.B. Andrews of the Minister for Infrastructure regarding selling
properties owned by the States of Jersey (OQ.195/2023)
Will the Minister advise what consideration, if any, has recently been given to selling properties or land, owned by the States of Jersey?
Deputy T. Binet of St. Saviour (The Minister for Infrastructure):
Quite recently I had an email enquiry from Deputy Andrews about property, so I arranged to meet him and discuss the current situation in some detail; that was about a week-and-a-half ago. I explained that in reality selling public property is relatively rare because the vast majority of it is used to provide public services, and this includes schools and offices and such like. However, we are starting a process at Property Holdings to assess whether certain properties are surplus to requirements and if they are or can be made surplus by way of consolidating services elsewhere in the estate, they can then be sold off. For example, the property Aviemore at St. Martin is due to go on the market very shortly. If the Deputy has any specific properties in mind that are troubling him, I would be more than happy to answer any questions he may have.
