Item 1 30.10.12 516/35 | 2. Police Headquarters: proposed relocation at Green Street The Panel considered its position with regard to P.92/2012 which had been referred to it for consideration during the States debate on 20th November 2012. Members agreed that they would continue to focus on the suitability of the building for police requirements and not open up their terms of reference to deal with the broader planning issues which were the subject of P.92/2012. Members noted an email received from representatives of the Police Association indicating that, following a meeting with the Deputy Chief Officer and Projects and Facilities Manager, States of Jersey Police, the majority of their members' concerns had been clarified, leaving just three outstanding issues to be resolved. Members agreed that it would be appropriate to invite the Police Association to a public hearing at the earliest opportunity in order to discuss the issues, and to invite the Deputy Chief Officer of Police to a subsequent hearing. The Scrutiny Officer was requested to make the necessary arrangements The Panel agreed a budget of £300 to cover expenditure on transcripts for the public hearings. Members also noted a suggestion from Deputy Young that the Minister for Planning and Environment should be given the opportunity to develop a masterplan for the St Helier Eastern Gateway area in accordance with the Island Plan 2011. Members agreed that it was not for them to pursue this suggestion, rather the proposition should come from the Environment Panel. | MH |
