It was Theodore Roosevelt who said “Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground”
How true that is for this Island ….we have achieved so much and punched above our weight whilst continually staying grounded in so many ways
I was attracted to party politics as I with my colleagues believe it is the best way to get the policies that the people of Jersey want implemented effectively and quickly. These include maintenance of the key characteristics of Jersey – its links with the Crown, the role of the parishes with the Connétables sitting in the States Assembly, a low tax environment made possible because of the thriving business sector, and a beautiful island which must be fiercely protected. But the Alliance also sees the need for significant improvements, particularly in respect of housing, educational standards, population, and healthcare provision, and we have clear plans to achieve these goals.
For Parish issues I believe in Community spirit and set up a local Parishioners Facebook page to help connect Parishioners. I would like to see more activities in the parish. Some ideas from the community group were setting up a farmers’ market, having pop up shops and craft fairs. Give people a reason to come to St Saviour.
FIVE OAKS MASTER PLAN
Implementation of the right plan for St Saviour is essential. I would propose to set up a working group who would meet and work with the Environment & Planning Department and architects to ensure that Parishioners have their say on what our Parish will look and feel like in the future.
ST SAVIOUR VILLAGE
We do not have a core to our Parish; I would like to see an overall strategic vision for St Saviour. Having a hub and a new village would help shape our Parish. I campaigned with ‘Save our St Saviour group’ to stop over development in the Parish. Now that the Island Plan has been passed it is vital we have a say on what goes where.
JERSEY ALLIANCE
I have been tasked with the role of Party Secretary for the Jersey Alliance and as a campaigning member have seen first-hand how we work well together. I am particularly proud of our Dental and Mental health policies. As a party we communicate regularly with each other, and everyone contributed to policy making which has shaped our manifesto and our vision for Jersey.
