:00:17. > :00:28.There were some issues around design and the inspector said and I agreed
:00:29. > :00:30.that the shape of the building did not sit together very well.
:00:31. > :00:32.Good evening and welcome to the late news from BBC
:00:33. > :00:38.Costly and controversial but effective at reducing speeding
:00:39. > :00:48.Plans for a new secondary school on fields in Les Quennevais
:00:49. > :00:53.The Environment Minister believes the scheme -
:00:54. > :00:55.on farmland near the airport - goes against guidelines
:00:56. > :01:08.This application came down to three things.

:01:12. > :01:23.area and should be built on green field site?
:01:24. > :01:29.There was some good news, the school was needed and could be built on the
:01:30. > :01:31.site, but there were concerns about the design of the building.
:01:32. > :01:34.It is a ?40 million project, covering 11,000 square
:01:35. > :01:36.metres, but these images now might become a reality as planning
:01:37. > :01:39.permission for a new school in Le Quennevais has been rejected.
:01:40. > :01:43.I don't think it's very good because a lot
:01:44. > :01:46.of my friends went to Les Quennevais said it was crowded and didn't have
:01:47. > :01:54.I have kids who would have gone to that
:01:55. > :01:58.school they were older and I think a new and better school should be
:01:59. > :02:02.We do need a new school, we have an ever-growing population, I'm
:02:03. > :02:05.sure they have their reasons, whatever they are, it will have to
:02:06. > :02:08.The minister's decision was based on a report
:02:09. > :02:10.compiled by an independent planning inspector, during a public enquiry
:02:11. > :02:13.In that report, the inspector concluded he had
:02:14. > :02:25.considerable reservations about the site layout.
:02:26. > :02:33.They also the design of the proposed building would not be satisfactory,
:02:34. > :02:36.raising concerns about the building's shape, finishing material
:02:37. > :02:43.and colours. A modified application is said to be close to approval.
:02:44. > :02:47.You'll likely will discuss what the concerns that what the design, we
:02:48. > :02:54.will redesign that and will at the situation with regards to traffic,
:02:55. > :02:58.then re-design that as well. A new design for the school could be put
:02:59. > :03:03.together in as little as six weeks. The man who would make a decision on
:03:04. > :03:08.any future planning application is this man. What we remain concerned
:03:09. > :03:12.about the design of the There were issues and are design. The inspector
:03:13. > :03:15.found and I agree that the shape of the building just did not sit
:03:16. > :03:19.together very well. It's a large building, as we know, and the
:03:20. > :03:25.various sheiks did not sit together very well. They were not visually
:03:26. > :03:29.pleasing. Never concerned about the finishes and the colour of the
:03:30. > :03:34.building as well. This is really important, we want to get it as best
:03:35. > :03:38.we can and its need to sit on the landscape in the best way we can
:03:39. > :03:42.find. You mentioned any statement released today that you will be
:03:43. > :03:45.working with the infrastructure and education departments on any future
:03:46. > :03:51.proposals. We have already had a public enquiry. Why won't issues
:03:52. > :03:57.around the design and art before this? There were a lot of issues,
:03:58. > :04:03.the main one being the monument and early about the being on a green
:04:04. > :04:07.zone. Those issues have been resolved and unhappy about that. But
:04:08. > :04:10.we do need to work harder on this application because it is an
:04:11. > :04:15.important school and everyone needs to be proud of what we're going to
:04:16. > :04:20.put on this site. My department will continue to give pre-application
:04:21. > :04:22.device to infrastructure and I'm very happy that we will come up with
:04:23. > :04:28.a fantastic building in the future. Thank you. The education Department
:04:29. > :04:29.have not told me today that they are hopeful a new school could be opened
:04:30. > :04:33.by 2020. A business in St Peter Port

:05:05. > :05:10.criticised for being confusing - Who would've thought a raised bit
:05:11. > :05:21.of granite could cause such a fuss? This speed bump in St Mary was built
:05:22. > :05:25.just under two years ago as part So unpopular, it's even been
:05:26. > :05:31.the victim of vandalism. But could new figures turn it
:05:32. > :05:35.from victim to hero? Since its completion,
:05:36. > :05:38.speeding offences in the parish have fallen -
:05:39. > :05:41.from 155 in 2015 Will that make people
:05:42. > :05:56.finally warm to the quarter It's a lot of money spent and could
:05:57. > :05:59.have been done a different way and cost a lot less. The chicane at
:06:00. > :06:05.Saint Martin's, I would think, is much more effective and much
:06:06. > :06:09.lacking, confusing. I think it could've been done differently to
:06:10. > :06:11.achieve better results. It works, but it is a very expensive bit of
:06:12. > :06:11.work. But the department behind
:06:12. > :06:15.the work credits the bump with helping reduce the number
:06:16. > :06:18.of drivers caught speeding. The only way which will
:06:19. > :06:23.bring it down to zero is active policing, so that's police
:06:24. > :06:26.being out there as much as possible. That's a stretch for the honoraries
:06:27. > :06:29.and the States police to do with the size of the island
:06:30. > :06:32.and the resources they've got, so it takes some pro-active measures
:06:33. > :06:35.form the drivers themselves. So while it'll take more policing
:06:36. > :06:38.and a change in driver attitude to end speeding completely,
:06:39. > :06:41.this bump in the road has helped - even if that hasn't
:06:42. > :06:48.helped its popularity. Lots of you have been getting
:06:49. > :06:51.in touch with the BBC today Julie believes it's still a waste
:06:52. > :06:55.of money and that the number of drivers caught speeding depend
:06:56. > :06:58.on the number of speed checks the police do
:06:59. > :07:02.so might not be relevant. Peter simply says the changes
:07:03. > :07:04.were a waste of money and have Paul however likes the new layout
:07:05. > :07:12.and that if people didn't speed in the first place they wouldn't
:07:13. > :07:15.have to use such measures. Finally, Tel is worried
:07:16. > :07:17.about people on the outskirts of St Helier driving too fast
:07:18. > :07:23.on country lanes. If you wish to comment on that
