WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE BY DEPUTY C.D. CURTIS OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 13th APRIL 2026 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 20th APRIL 2026
Question
“Further to the approval of the Proposed Government Plan 2024-2027 (P.72/2023): twenty-first amendment, brought by the Children, Education and Home Affairs Panel, will the Minister detail what progress, if any, has been made to reprioritise funding for Le Rocquier School and community sports facilities, in order to improve access to sports facilities in the east of the Island?”
Answer
The amendment stated – The funding of at least of £4.705 million (approved in the Government Plan 2020- 2023 and Government Plan 2021-2024) for the Le Rocquier School and Community Sports Facilities will be reviewed with the intent that the project is reprioritised, in order to improve access to sports facilities in the East of the Island.”
The commitment remains to improve community sports facilities in the east of the island and support school sport in the delivery of such projects. It is important to note that the bulk of the island's sporting infrastructure is in fact in the east of the island. We are also exploring further opportunities for netball facilities in the east of the island as well.
The Investing in Jersey plan makes specific reference to improving the sports facilities at Le Rocquier. As the project relates primarily to educational infrastructure and school-led facilities, decisions regarding its scope, prioritisation and progression will be considered within the CYPES capital programme, informed by the outcome of the current feasibility work and in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
It is also hoped to advance plans for a 3G pitch at Le Rocquier and to rent the parish a parcel of land for the provision of a play facility and pump track.
