ROAD TRAFFIC (GROUVILLE) (JERSEY) ORDER 2002 – AMENDMENT
Purpose of the Report
To amend the Road Traffic (Grouville) (Jersey) Order 2002.
Background
On 07 December 2009 the Minister for Transport and Technical Services approved a request, subject to public consultation, to amend the above Order to make a section of the west side of La Rue de la Ville es Renards, outside “Verona Stores”, subject to a 20 minute parking restriction.
The Parish have since confirmed that the proposed restricted area is in fact on La Grande Route de Sablons, and not La Rue de la Ville es Renards.
Discussion
Following a period of consultation in the form of a notice placed outside Verona Stores informing the public of the proposed change, four comments were received. The common message of those commenting was that the change was unnecessary.
However both the Department and the Parish consider that the time limit will provide support for a valuable local facility, which is consistent with the Transport and Technical Services sustainable transport policy in providing local facilities within walking distance,
While drafting the necessary Order Amendment the Law Draftsman has taken the opportunity to update Article 1 of the Order (One-Way Traffic Routes) with regard to Beach Road, by substituting the words “Grouville Service Station”, which no longer exists, with “The Hamlet”.
Recommendation
The Minister is requested to approve the attached Road Traffic (Grouville) (Amendment No.5) (Jersey) Order 2010 with regard to the above items, to be included in the Road Traffic (Grouville) (Jersey) Order 2002 and to become effective seven days after the Order is made.
Reason(s) for Decision
To allow improved vehicle movement to and from the parking spaces outside “Verona Stores” on the west side of La Grande Route de Sablons by introducing a 20 minute waiting restriction, and update Article 1 of the Order with regard to Beach Road.
Action Required
To notify the Greffier of the States and the Law Draftsman that the Order has been made and forward the signed and sealed Order to the Publications Editor, States Greffe, for notification to the States.
