St. Brelade's Bay Beach Trading Sites No. 4 & 5: Trading Licence Transfer

A formal published “Ministerial Decision” is required as a record of the decision of a Minister (or an Assistant Minister where they have delegated authority) as they exercise their responsibilities and powers.

Ministers are elected by the States Assembly and have legal responsibilities and powers as “corporation sole” under the States of Jersey Law 2005 by virtue of their office and in their areas of responsibility, including entering into agreements, and under any legislation conferring on them powers.

An accurate record of “Ministerial Decisions” is vital to effective governance, including:

  • demonstrating that good governance, and clear lines of accountability and authority, are in place around decisions-making – including the reasons and basis on which a decision is made, and the action required to implement a decision

  • providing a record of decisions and actions that will be available for examination by States Members, and Panels and Committees of the States Assembly; the public, organisations, and the media; and as a historical record and point of reference for the conduct of public affairs

Ministers are individually accountable to the States Assembly, including for the actions of the departments and agencies which discharge their responsibilities.

The Freedom of Information Law (Jersey) Law 2011 is used as a guide when determining what information is be published. While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Background

 

The current concessionaire has been the licence holder since April 2008. The concession itself has been operated in the same manner as it is today, whereby it has offered for hire deckchairs, sun loungers, windbreaks, umbrellas and beach tents.

 

The operation itself trades from the beach and comprises of the following concessionary areas,

 

Site No.4 – from the western boundary of La Dauphin to the western end of the promenade

 

Site No.5 – from the western end of the promenade to the pier

My recommendation is for you to approve the request and grant consent to the licence holders, Sunnyside Deckchairs, of Site No.4 and Site No.5, St Belade’s Bay, to transfer the licence to a third party of the licence holder’s choice.  This is subject to the new concession holder being able to fulfil the terms and conditions that apply to the licence for this concession.
