WQ.273/2025
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE
BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 9th JUNE 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 16th JUNE 2025
Question
"In relation to the Nude Food Development at La Pulente and further to his recent statement that "it is our intention to take the action that is necessary to ensure the toilets are open for the summer", will the Minister –
- provide an update on progress to ensuring the public's access to the public toilets that form part of the development;
- advise whether any consideration has been given to installing temporary toilets on public land adjacent to Nude Food, with the possibility of reimbursement of costs being sought from the current owners, so that the public can access conveniences in time for Summer 2025; and
- confirm that the pathway that runs between the development and the sea wall is public land and, if that is so, that right of access will be maintained for the public?"
Answer
- The Minister for Infrastructure and departmental officers have since met with the property owner and are currently investigating technical and legal issues behind potential resolutions to ensure public access to the toilet facilities. Discussions are active and ongoing.
- The installation of temporary public toilets at this location has been considered. However, this option is complicated by issues relating to land ownership and planning requirements. At present, the focus is on options which would ensure public access to the existing toilets.
- The pathway which runs between the development and the sea wall is not public land and forms part of the development site, however, the site is subject to a servitude in favour of the Public of the Island which means that the general public benefit from a pedestrian right of way over a strip of land measuring four feet in width to the rear of and adjacent to the sea walls. A Boundary Plan is appended.
