Delivering for the Parish
I am committed to continue working hard to enhance Parish life and will seek to provide greater opportunities for parishioners to strengthen our wonderful community.
As Connétable, I secured funding for the La Vielle Êcole community facility through the unanimous approval of the States Assembly. The building now hosts M&S, Mercury Distribution, St. Martin Pharmacy, St. Martin Surgery, and Jersey Village Vets as tenants. I have overseen the refurbishment of the Parish Depot and the extension of The Village Tearoom, and steered St. Martin through the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The Village Green is of fundamental importance to St. Martin and I will seek to expand the Green through the incorporation of a wetland area, following the generous gifting of land by parishioners. Furthermore, planning permission has now been granted for the playground on the Village Green.
I will continue the transformation of the old granite Rectory Barn into a vibrant Community Centre. I have secured funding of a donation of £83,000 to carry out preliminary surveys and the architect's design. Further funding will be sought through donations to negate the cost to Parish Ratepayers. The refurbished Barn will create opportunities for a range of artistic, cultural and social activities.
I will continue to work with the Parishes Climate Liaison Group and be an advocate for enhanced environmental practices in St. Martin. I also want to create new forums for young people to engage with Parish life and governance.
I will commit to ensuring that farmers and the rural economy receive the support they need to guarantee the future of agriculture in Jersey.
