WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. MARTIN
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 18th MARCH 2014
Question
Will the Minister inform the Assembly of the results of core samples taken on the Pine Walk during 2013? Will he further inform the Assembly what these results mean in practical terms, his intentions to remedy any problems that may exist and his timescale for that remediation?
Answer
The core samples taken at Pine Walk in November and December 2013 indicate that a significant capital project is required to stabilise the embankment estimated at £300,000 - £350,000.
Transport and Technical Services (TTS) are responsible for the maintenance of the carriageway and sea defence with the Department of the Environment (DOE) responsible for the damaged embankment and coastal footpath.
TTS are providing technical advice and assistance to DOE who will need to seek funding for the repairs once a design is finalised. Once funding is secured remedial works could be completed in six months.
