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

St. Helier Street Life Programme: Charring Cross - Consultation Response.

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there is a presumption toward publication to support of transparency and accountability, detailed information may not be published if, for example, it would constitute a breach of data protection, or disclosure would prejudice commercial interest.

Decision(s): The Minister, jointly with the Minister for Transport and Technical Services, and in consultation with the Chair of the Urban Task Force, Connetable Simon Crowcroft, determined;

  1. that scheme should progress to implementation but that form of scheme should include the following:
    1. retention of both 'Jersey' crossings as shown in consultation scheme to provide pedestrians with crossing opportunities on both sides of the exit from Sand Street;
    2. an extension of the table-top into Broad Street (adjacent to Rowleys) to enhance the setting of La Croix de la Reine;
    3. surface treatment of table top should be 'pink' throughout, except where crossings are provided, where it should be white on black;
  2. to maintain the existing use of the road space in Broad Street i.e. that there be no re-arrangement of road space to permit al fresco dining, on the basis that servicing and disabled parking was essential in these locations;
  3. that the principle of enabling more al fresco dining in Ruette Haguais was supported, but that this should only be progressed were it possible to remove and replant the tree that currently exists in the planter in Ruette Haguais. It was also considered appropriate that private sector sponsorship be sought towards creating additional al fresco dining in this area, should it prove viable to relocate the tree;
  4. that, the feedback to consultees as set out at appendix 5, is noted and endorsed.

 

The Minister further determined;

  1. that the timetable for implementation, as set out in the report, is noted together with an amendment for the start date to 25 September 2006;
  2. that approval is granted to expend monies (as set out in the report, but with the addition of c.£2,500 to cover the cost of additional table-top works) to the value of £80,000 from the Urban Renewal vote to award the main contract to T&TS DLO and to proceed to implement the scheme;
  3. any further amendment of the scheme requiring the approval of additional expenditure will be brought back for the consideration of the Minister for Planning and Environment.


Reason(s) for decision:

The response to consultation on the draft scheme has been given due consideration relative to the objectives of the scheme and amendments made in light of their consideration.

Action required:

  1. Undertake further liaison with Transport and Technical Services (Parks and Gardens) and the Parish of St Helier, and consult with the relevant stakeholders, to explore the viability of an additional amendment to the scheme involving potential works in Ruette Haguais;
  2. Review costings for the scheme in the light of amendments made, and report back to the Minister where additional funding is required;
  3. Feed back the outcome of consultation, and the amendment of the scheme, to stakeholders and consultees;
  4. Proceed to implementation on the basis of the timetable set out in the report, subject to the approval of any additional funding to provide amendments, where necessary.

Signature:

(Minister/ Assistant Minister)

Date of Decision:
