Draft Strategic Plan 2006 – 2011

The Panel resumed consideration of the draft Strategic Plan 2006

2011 and received a draft briefing paper, dated 20th March 2006 and prepared by the Scrutiny Office, summarizing its views as expressed at the previous meeting. It was agreed that the Panel should not consider the draft report as it had not been prepared quickly enough.

The  Panel  made  a  series  of  observations  concerning  draft Commitments 5 and 6 and the chapter entitled Focus on Young People'. It  subsequently  instructed  its  officers  to  produce  a revised draft briefing paper for the Chairmen's Committee and copied  to  the  Corporate  Services  Panel,  incorporating  the additional comments made. It was further agreed that the paper should be circulated to Panel members individually by e-mail for final approval.

16.03.06 Item 6)

Work Programme – Waste

The  Panel  noted  that  on  14th  March  2006   Connétable  A.S. Crowcroft  of  St.  Helier  had  lodged au  Greffe' a  proposition entitled, Composting Facilities at La Collette II approval by States Assembly' (P.31/2006 refers).

The  Panel  considered  that  the  proposition  had  significant implications  for  its  ongoing  waste  recycling  review.  Were  the States  to  reject  the  proposition,  it  was  understood  that  the Minister of Transport and Technical Services intended to press ahead  with  procurement  and  implementation  of  a  composting plant  at  La  Collette  II  without  first  considering  any  relevant evidence obtained in the course of the Panel's investigations.

The Panel agreed that it was minded to support the proposition lodged by Connétable A.S. Crowcroft .
