Request

Please provide details of all road traffic accidents and or collisions which have occurred on Longueville Road between its junctions with Rue des Pres in the west and Mont es Neaux to the east between 1 January 2000 and 31 October 2023.

Response

The relevant information between the dates of 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2007 is not held, therefore Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.

Below is a table displaying information relating to road traffic accidents and or collisions – which have occurred, and which have been reported to the States of Jersey Police, on Longueville Road between its junctions with Rue des Pres in the West and Mont es Neaux to the east (between 1 January 2008 and 31 October 2023).

Due to the small number of casualties per year, it could be a breach of personal data to specify the number of casualties per incident in the above table. Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore also been applied.
