THE JERSEY MOTOR CYCLE AND LIGHT CAR CLUB’S APPLICATION TO HOLD
THE ‘L’ETACQ ATTACK MINI RALLY’ 2015
Purpose of the Report
To obtain a Ministerial Decision regarding approval of road closures and traffic restrictions for the purpose of holding the ‘L’Etacq Attack Mini Rally’ on Saturday 13 June 2015.
In addition, to enable an instruction to be sent to the Law Draftsman requesting preparation of an Order under Article 2 of the Motor Vehicle Races (Jersey) Law 1946.
Background
The Jersey Motor Cycle and Light Car Club (the Promoter) has submitted details of its proposed route stages for a short rally (see attached Plan of stages 1(a) and 1(b)). The event is enabled by Order of the Transport and Technical Services Minister under Article 2 of the Motor Vehicle Races (Jersey) Law 1946.
The Promoter has consulted with the Connétable of St Ouen and other stakeholders directly affected by the road closures. They have also supplied proof of Public Liability Insurance.
Discussion
The Rally was first held in July 2008 and is made up of two stages, which take place concurrently within the L’Etacq area, starting at 8.00am and finishing around 5.00pm.
1(a) La Route des Havres from Les Havres Slipway to its junction with Le Mont du Vallet; thence along Le Mont du Vallet to its junction with La Route du Ouest; thence along La Route du Ouest and La Rue de la Mare to a point 50 metres south of the latter's junction with La Rue de la Devise.
1(b) Roads to include, La Route des Landes from its junction with Le Mont du Valet to its junction with La Route de la Villaise; La Mare du Mont and the un-named road from their
junctions with La Route des Landes to their junctions with La Route du Ouest common.
Actual road closures will be between 8.00am and 5.00pm with the main impacts being:
- The closure of a section of the ‘main road’ coastal tourist route (i.e. the B55).
- The curtailment of the No. 8 bus service, which normally goes to Grosnez and Le Landes, but will instead divert at St. Georges Estate.
Recommendation
The Minister is recommended to approve the L’Etacq Attack Mini Rally’ and the preparation of an Order under Article 2 of the Motor Vehicle Races (Jersey) Law 1946.
Reason(s) for Decision
The proposed road closures and associated traffic management are reasonable and justified.
Resource Implications
TTS Officer and Law Draftsman’s time.
Action Required
Technical Assistant to forward a copy of the Ministerial Decision along with an Instructing Memorandum and the Promoter’s Application to the Law Draftsman.
