THE CLASSIC & VINTAGE MOTOR RACING CLUB’S APPLICATION TO HOLD
THE ‘FESTIVAL OF SPEED’ 2010
Purpose of the Report
To accompany the signature copy of the ‘Road Racing (Festival of Speed) (Jersey) Order 2010’ enabling road closures and traffic restrictions for the purpose of holding the ‘Jersey Festival of Speed’ racing event between Friday 27th and Sunday 29th August 2010.
Background
The Classic & Vintage Motor Racing Club (the Promoter) has submitted details of its proposed road closures and traffic management requirements for the 2010 events. The events are 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 Connétables of St Mary, St Ouen and St Brelade, who have endorsed the event, as well as undertaking a public relations exercise with residents and businesses directly affected by the road closures. They have also supplied proof of Public Liability Insurance.
Discussion
The Order will enable the event promoter to hold the following events:
o Sprint - Five Mile Road – Friday 27th August 2010 (12pm to 5pm): La Grande Route des Mielles from Led Brayes Car Park to the gravel car park at La Pulente.
o Hill Climb - Greve de Lecq – Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th August 2010 (8.30am to 5pm): Le Mont de Ste. Marie, but including a number of parish by-roads at the top of the hill to allow turning.
The course details are identical to those which were approved last year. Access to Greve de Lecq bay via Mont de la Greve de Lecq (B65) will be maintained during the event; no scheduled bus services will be affected. Other details are as per the 2010 Order.
Recommendation
The Minister is recommended to sign the ‘Road Racing (Festival of Speed) (Jersey) Order 2010’ as prepared.
Reason(s) for Decision
Further to MD-T-2010-0059, enabling preparation of the Order and following consultations, the proposed road closures and associated traffic management are reasonable and justified.
Resource Implications
