At last nights St Helier hustings, I outlined the Council of Ministers broken promises to mitigate the impact of fast growing population on the life of town residents. Half of Jerseys people live here, where the quality of life is being badly damaged by neglect and policy failures.
I highlighted the lack of an urban development plan , the stupidity of allocating strategic planning decisions to the Infrastructure Minister, failure of the Planning Minister to recognize the importance of quality of urban environment to the whole community , failure to integrate waterfront developments with the town , failure to manage traffic rat runs , the need for improvement areas, the need for town residents to have a bigger say in Planning decisions and the need for investment from the strategic reserve in public infrastructure, more open space, community facilities.
Here is my speech . If elected I will publish a policy paper which will form the basis of a report and proposition to the States .
