THE CLASSIC & VINTAGE MOTOR RACING CLUB OF JERSEY’S APPLICATION FOR ROAD RACING - 2008 EVENTS
Purpose of the Report
To obtain ‘Ministerial Decision’ regarding approval for the proposed ‘The Classic and Vintage Motor Racing Club of Jersey’ road racing fixtures for 2008
Background
The Promoter (The Classic and Vintage Motor Racing Club of Jersey) has submitted details of its proposed road closures and traffic management requirements for the 2008 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, 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:
Sprint - Five Mile Road – Friday 22nd August (12pm to 5pm): La Grande Route des Mielles from La Braye Car Park to the gravel car park at La Pulente.
Hill Climb - Greve de Lecq – Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th August (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. The hill climb, as per last year will be a two day event rather than one. The promoter has previously stated that the reason for this extension is to develop the event and offset the cost/time of setting out the course.
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 2007 Order.
Recommendation
The Minister is recommended to approve the Road Racing (Hill Climbs and Sprint) (No.3) (Jersey) Order 2008 as prepared.
Action Required
Advise the Greffier that the Order has been made and forward the Decision Summary and Report, together with the signed and sealed Order to the Publications Editor at the States Greffe.
