WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY D.J. WARR OF ST. HELIER SOUTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 24th FEBRUARY 2025 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 3rd MARCH 2025
Question
"Will the Minister detail the timeline to empty Fort Regent of all activities, the cost to keep the building running in 2025, and which department will be responsible for the Fort upon its closure?"
Answer
The end of 2025 remains the timeline to withdraw all remaining sports activities from Fort Regent.
The cost of running the facility for the Sport Division this year is forecast at £580,000. There is a forecast pre-planned maintenance cost of £66,000, and an estimated reactive maintenance spend of between £70,000 to £80,000.
Jersey Property Holdings will retain responsibility upon the closure of Fort Regent. It must be made clear however, that although the site under the roof will be empty, the state of the electrical distribution system, the water system and the presence of hazardous materials means that any further use of that site will not be possible without a considerable package of works and JPH will be providing security and overseeing a safe mothball process of the structure only.
Having a clear site will enable and assist the process that is ongoing to regenerate, update, and improve Fort Regent for the future, including any remedial works that are required, notably making it a safer, quicker and more cost-efficient process.
It is important to note that provision has been made for La Petite Ecole nursery to remain operational on site at Fort Regent.
