WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY I. GARDINER OF ST. HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 27th OCTOBER 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 3rd NOVEMBER 2025
Question
"Further to the adoption of the Government Plan 2022-2025, as amended, will the Minister advise what progress, if any, has been made towards the creation of a playing field for First Tower School and will he further advise the timeline for its completion?"
Answer
Further to the adoption of the Government Plan 2022–2025, I can confirm that the Department for Infrastructure & Environment, and the Department for Children, Young People, Education and Skills (CYPES) have been working collaboratively to secure a suitable site near the school.
Jersey Property Holdings ("JPH") have held discussions with the owner of the preferred site regarding potential acquisition; however, these discussions are currently stalled due to personal reasons on the part of the landowner. The Government remains committed to pursuing a resolution and will seek to re-engage with the owner once it is appropriate to do so.
In the meantime, initial feasibility and site assessment work has been undertaken to evaluate land suitability, accessibility, and environmental considerations. Once an agreement is in place with the landowner, further engagement with relevant stakeholders, including the school and local community, will continue to ensure that the proposed development meets both educational and community needs.
I will continue to keep Members updated as the project progresses and as key milestones are reached.
