THE JERSEY MOTOR CYCLE AND LIGHT CAR CLUB’S APPLICATION TO
HOLD HILL CLIMB, SPRINTS AND BEACH RACING EVENTS IN 2011
Purpose of the Report
To accompany the signature copy of the Sand Racing (Jersey) Order 2011 and the Road Racing (Hill Climbs and Sprint) (Jersey) Order 2011, enabling the proposed road and beach racing events during 2011.
Background
The Jersey Motor Cycle and Light Car Club (the Promoter) has submitted details of its proposed road and beach racing events during 2011. The events are enabled by Order of the Transport and Technical Services Minister under Article 2 of the Motor Vehicle Races (Jersey) Law 1946.
Also as per the requirements of the Law, Economic Development (Jersey Tourism) has been consulted regarding proposed sand racing events. In addition, the Promoter has gained Parish approval for all of its events. They have also supplied proof of public liability Insurance.
Discussion
Hill Climb and Sprint: The proposed event timings for this year’s fixtures are similar in number to last year (see attached schedule), with:
- Three ‘Five Mile Road Sprints’ requiring the closure of the road between 10am and 6pm, from the Car Park at La Pulente to the Car Park at Le Braye. The events will be held on Saturdays.
- Four ‘Bouley Bay Hill Climbs’ requiring the closure of the hill between 8am and 6.30pm. These events generally fall on public holidays.
Sand Racing: As usual the Promoter has applied to hold events on the beaches at Millbrook, West Park and St Ouen (Le Braye). Their intention is to hold a total of twelve sand racing events this year (an increase on last year of one), including six at St Ouen, with one finishing as late as 8.30pm (with further time factored in for cleanup).
Recommendation
The Minister is recommended to make the Sand Racing (Jersey) Order 2011 and the Road Racing (Hill Climbs and Sprint) (Jersey) Order 2011 as prepared.
Reason(s) for Decision
Further to MD-T-2010-0119, enabling preparation of the Orders and following consultations, the proposed road closures and associated traffic management are reasonable and justified.
Resource Implications
None.
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.
