Road Traffic (Grouville) (Jersey) Order 2002 and Road Traffic (Disabled Persons) (Parking) (Jersey) Order 2002: Amendments: Law drafting instructions

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While there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

The changes to areas of prohibition of waiting on La Grande Route des Sablons and La Rue du Pont have been identified as being a priority for the Parish and it is requested that these be implemented prior to Law Drafting by means of an Article 68 notice so the Honorary Police can control dangerous and obstructive parking throughout the summer period.  Disruption to traffic flow and delays to the bus route have been identified during recent weekends.

 

The Connétable of Grouville has also requested the introduction of two new areas of parking for use by disabled drivers holding blue badges be added to the Road Traffic (Disabled Persons) (Parking) (Jersey) Order 2002:

 

  • La Rue de la Haye du Puits (appendix 5):
    • Add to Schedule 1 for Grouville 1 hour limit “La Rue de la Haye du Puits (North side from a point 65 ½ yards west of its junction with Rue de la Croix to a point 13 yards further west)”

 

  • La Rue a Don (appendix 11):
    • Add to Schedule 1 for Grouville 2 hour limit “La Rue a Don (North side from the eastern entrance of Grouville Parish Church to a point
    • 7 yards further east)”

 

Conclusion

 

The addition of the requested prohibition of waiting areas and new maximum stay periods above will allow the Parish to police parking in these areas and provide for better use of the facilities.
