I am standing for Constable because I believe our parish needs strong, visible leadership rooted in fairness, community, and practical action.

My record is clear. Over two terms, my successes in the Assembly include securing a new youth and community centre, introducing a student bus pass, increasing the pensioners Christmas bonus, protecting Gas Place for education and creating new parks, expanding school meals and childcare, supporting education reform, and immediately ending teachers strikes. I have always been present, listening and supporting parishioners.

1. Deliver the new community based school parks and support a new Highlands College in St Helier
2. Deliver a one stop help centre for town businesses
3. Ringfence monies from dog licences to delivering more facilities and services to dog owners
4. Create a library of things and support community repair cafes for St Helier residents
5. Revisit the use of all parish properties to ensure they are fully utilised for the good of St Helier
6. Reinvigorate our parks and public spaces and support St Helier in Bloom

And there is so much more we can achieve.

St Helier needs practical, community-focused action to support residents and businesses. Regenerating the town, improving childcare and play spaces, delivering new parks, and creating a school with community use will enhance local facilities. Easy trading, vibrant public spaces, and solid support for our retail and hospitality sectors are the foundations of a thriving parish.

I support improving bus and active-travel links, expanding childcare places, and upgrading older buildings for energy efficiency. Supporting local shops and traders, reviewing charges for St Helier residents, helping residents manage daily costs and strengthening parish life. And we must use parish facilities to support our ageing community throughout the year.

By working together, we can make public spaces accessible, keep streets safe and friendly, and support a vibrant, diverse community. I will listen, stay available to residents, and champion initiatives that strengthen shared community life.

We build a stronger parish when every generation and culture feels they belong. That means shared spaces, community events, and projects that bring people together. I will create a Youth Comité de Connétable so young people have a real voice in shaping our future. A parish thrives when everyone feels part of its story past, present, and future.

As constable I will enable St Helier to grow as a vibrant, inclusive parish by focusing on practical actions that strengthen daily life for residents and businesses. Enhancing childcare, parks, play spaces, and shared community facilities will improve wellbeing for all ages. Supporting local services, promoting town vibrancy, and creating accessible public spaces can help everyone feel connected and supported. By celebrating our diverse community and truly investing in shared places, St Helier can continue to thrive for generations.
