Key Priorities for Action
Young People
Young people must be able to build their future in Jersey with confidence. That means:
- Access to genuinely affordable housing
- Secure and meaningful employment
- A good quality of life
Delivering this requires investment in skills and training, broader economic opportunities, and a commitment to increasing the supply of affordable homes.
Health and Social Care
The Health and Social Care needs of our ageing population are increasing rapidly.
- Care must be effective, efficient and delivered responsibly.
- Primary Care, Hospital and Social Care services must work together far more effectively.
- Better integration and joined‑up delivery are essential to close gaps, improve outcomes and manage costs.
Finance & Investment
Strong public services depend on stable and sustainable finances. Jersey must generate sufficient revenue to fund essential services and invest for the future. We should be prepared to explore fair ways of widening the local tax base and work constructively with our finance industry. Capital investment — including our new hospital and core infrastructure — is essential if Jersey is to remain resilient and prepared.
Protecting Jersey’s Environment
Planning policies developed over decades have protected Jersey’s coastline and countryside through the Green Zone and Protected Coastal Zone. Planning processes should be simpler and more efficient, but their purpose must remain firm. The Island Plan needs amendment in detail, but its long‑term framework is sound and should continue to guide sustainable development. Delivering the long‑overdue West of Island Planning Framework is essential to manage essential development, prevent over‑urbanisation and to protect the character of our parish.
