Information and public services for the Island of Jersey

L'înformâtion et les sèrvices publyis pouor I'Île dé Jèrri

Increases to Fees and Charges - Car Parking / Driver and Vehicle Standards.

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Date of Decision:

Increases to Fees and Charges - Car Parking / Driver and Vehicle Standards.

TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES

INCREASES TO FEES AND CHARGES

Purpose of the Report

The Minister for Transport and Technical Services is asked to approve a request to increase the Department’s various fees and charges (a schedule of charges is attached as Appendix A).

Discussion

The majority of the proposed increases have been limited to 2.5% per annum in accordance with the States Anti- Inflation Strategy and seek to maintain current cost recovery levels.

The charges that are increased above the 2.5% are only marginally higher to provide rounded charges for practicability.

In accordance with Finance Direction No.4.1 Increases in States Fees and Charges, all increases to charges above 2.5% require the approval of the Minister for Treasury and Resources. The Treasurer of the States can approve increases to States charges under his delegated powers, where those increases are non-contentious.

Recommendations

The Minister is recommended to approve the increases to the Department’s fees and charges as set out in the attached schedule and seek the approval of the Treasurer of the States to these increases.

Reason (s) for Decision

To enable the Department to increase its fees and charges for Driving Vehicle Standards and Jersey Car Parking in 2007 so that it can maintain current cost recovery levels.

Action Required

To request the Treasurer of the States to approve the increases to the Department’s fees and charges as set out in the attached schedule.
