There are many reasons why this is a defining term for St Helier North.
Debate around the hospital has become a recurring theme in Jersey. For residents of St Helier North, it means construction traffic, uncertainty over public spending, and questions about when it will be delivered.
From Centrepoint to Mont à l’Abbé, d’Auvergne, First Tower and Haute Vallée, this area educates over 1,500 children and young people, around one in every nine in Jersey’s education system. Alongside the residents, the streets and the services, this is our shared constituency.
For St Helier North, I will focus on what people need every day:
- Safer roads. A School Routes Plan with clear pavements, crossings and delivery dates. Quarterly reporting on Overdale construction traffic. A bus review shaped by the people who use it.
- Green space. Working with the new Constable to reopen underused land. Accessible playgrounds within reach.
- Community space. A monthly drop-in surgery rotating across the constituency. No appointments. Just turn up.
- Education for all. A Deputy who knows our schools and community, and treats education as the foundation.
We also need teamwork on the bigger picture.
PEOPLE. Childcare that works for every family. A broader primary curriculum: science, arts, technology, critical thinking and outdoor learning alongside improving literacy and numeracy. Faster SEN diagnosis and clearer support for teachers. Delivery of the Women’s Health Strategy this term. A published mental health waiting time standard.
An independent Education Leadership Board bringing together students, teachers, parents, local specialists and global expertise to improve outcomes.
PLACE. Key-worker housing. Rooftop solar on public buildings. Community energy. One joined-up approach to capital investment, with a clear economic case.
A living Jersey identity: protecting the 1% for arts, culture and heritage. Because understanding who we are is how a small island chooses its own future.
PROSPERITY. Measurable targets on every policy. Transparent progress on Overdale. Government systems that work with business and the third sector. Fair pay frameworks and strong governance in the Civil Service. A more diversified economy: one that keeps young Islanders here, and attracts the talent we need.
A Jersey Social Enterprise Model: Legal recognition with an asset lock, and fairer public contracts focused on outcomes and social impact.
Jersey deserves more than announcements. It needs delivery.
If elected, I will bring a record of getting things done, strong community roots, and a clear focus on the people of St Helier North.
