WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST. HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY WEDNESDAY 10th MAY 2023 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON WEDNESDAY 17th MAY 2023
Question
“Will the Minister advise the total number of disabled parking spaces available Islandwide and what plans, if any, he has in relation to disabled parking spaces during his term of office?”
Answer
The Minister for Infrastructure is responsible for public parking that is under the administration of the Government of Jersey. Officers within Infrastructure and Environment’s Transport Section administer the following disabled persons parking spaces:
- 86 on street within St Helier (on parish and main roads)
- 70 within public car parks within St Helier
- 53 in public car parks outside St Helier
Disabled badge holders are entitled to use any other public car parking space for free, subject to time limits.
Beyond this, Parish authorities also provide disabled persons parking spaces to serve parochial amenities. There are also disabled persons parking spaces within commercial and residential settings.
For parking that is administered by the Infrastructure Department, officers are currently undertaking a periodic review of the disabled parking provision in St Helier with the intention of ensuring that current provision and amenity levels remain fit for purpose both in terms of location and availability.
