Item 1 (Meeting 26) 30.01.13

1. Green Street Police HQ: Traffic and Parking

The Panel met to discuss matters arising from the review and actions required to follow up evidence gained from recent public hearings. A number of lines of enquiry were considered and it was agreed that parking  and  travel  issues  had  been  shown  to  be  critical  to  the successful  development  of  the  proposed  new  Police  HQ.  The Scrutiny Officer was asked to follow up various lines of enquiry, including  requesting  direct  contact  with  the  consultants  who produced the Transport Assessment on behalf of Property Holdings. It was considered important to test the Panel's understanding of the survey data provided by the States of Jersey Police and to find out whether the consultant had carried out any independent detailed analysis of the information supplied.

2. Pathway 2050: An Energy Plan for Jersey

Following  contact  with  the  adviser  commissioned  by  the  former Environment Scrutiny Panel to carry out a review of the previous draft of the Energy Policy in 2011 the Panel discussed possible approaches to the review. It was agreed that this could start with a desk-top  study  by  the  adviser  highlighting  any  issues  requiring further attention and breaking down the proposals into short, medium and long term objectives. The Panel could then decide whether to follow up with further investigation of areas identified as needing more work. The Scrutiny Officer was asked to contact the adviser to request a formal tender for the task on this basis.
