The cost of the detailed design, project procurement, project supervision and construction for the reference site was £220,466.99. 

The traffic and pedestrian surveys and the initial technical reports were undertaken as ‘business as usual’ work using Scheduled Public Authority resources and no cost was recharged to the project.

The Scheduled Public Authority does not record the time spent by the transport team on ‘business as usual’, therefore, this information is not held and Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law applies. 

5

The Scheduled Public Authority does not record the number of times that the crossing button is pressed, therefore this information is not held and Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.

The Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 gives a right to request information that is held in recorded form, unless exempt. 

The second part of question 5 poses a question rather than seeking information held in a recorded form, therefore, this information is not held and Article 3 also applies.
