WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY T.A. COLES OF ST. HELIER SOUTH

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 13th OCTOBER 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 20th OCTOBER 2025

Question

"In relation to the Eastern Cycle Corridor, will the Minister –

state the current balance of funds allocated to the scheme;
advise the total amount of funding received by the scheme to date; and
provide a list of all projects that have received funding from this scheme, including the amount each project received?"

Answer (a) & (b)

This is not within the vires of the Minister for Infrastructure, and thus I am unable to account for this. Planning Obligation Agreements (POAs) allocated to the Eastern Cycle Network would be accounted for by the Scheduled Authority, which is the Minister for the Environment. The Minister for the Environment will be in contact with the Deputy separately in this regard.

(c)

Funding for schemes from the Eastern Cycle Network can only be applied for by the Minister for Infrastructure (from the Minister for Environment) once they have been constructed and assessed as compliant with the scheme. Projects that have been approved to received POA contributions towards their costs and have been fully accounted for are:

Grouville Common Cycle Path	£683,834.52
Grouville Traffic Calming	£32,751.36
ECR – Checkers to Vardon	£10,000
ECR – La Rocquier Shared Path	£171,469.92
St Clements Cycle Route	£79,320.61
ECR Surfacing path common	£2,940.96
Old Harbour Feasibility	£119,095.02
Wellcome Slip Zebra Crossing	£97,239.43
Grouville School Parking	£111,257.38
Ville es Renaud Modified Scheme	£159,465.08
French Harbour Construction	£29,441.97
English Harbour Construction	£239,542.52
French Harbour RS Construct	£733,457.94
Grouville Cycle Surfacing	£1,535.94

These amount to £2,471,352.65, including other funds committed by the Minister for Infrastructure.

Works that are in the process of being developed or completed by Infrastructure and are in the approval process for Eastern Cycle Network POA contributions, subject to approval (and have yet to be accounted for) include Grouville path upgrades adjacent to the Harry Vardon statue; Hill Street Contra flow Cycle Lane; Samares Way Finding Scheme; and various junction improvement schemes once completed. Direct provision and a financial contribution by the developer, through a planning application POA, created the section of the network that passes through Le Squez Phase 4, Samares Nurseries and the Former De La Mare Florist Site.
