My other Channel Island Roles

My Alderney

ALDERNEY AND GUERNSEY 

In 2004 I conducted a Planning Inquiry in Alderney. I was from 2008-2010, a reserve member of the States of Guernsey Planning Appeals Tribunal and qualified in a Judicial Studies Board Tribunal course for Administrative tribunals in the UK, before setting up the processes of the new Guernsey Appeals law.

After leaving the States in 2014 I fulfilled my commitment to the members of the Jersey public whose personal grievances against States departments required my assistance. I took on a significant complaints board case which I saw to completion. Sadly Although that case was won , no remedy has ever been made by Jersey States.

In March 2015  I was invited to take up the position of Alderney’s Planning Officer and to review their Land Use Plan and Planning law. Between June 2015 and September 2017 I  commuted most weekends between the Islands.  I have been an external adviser to their States and fulfilled my commitment to the people of Alderney making short monthly visits whilst working in Guernsey with their law officers. In March 2018 their States approved the new Land Use Plan and a further four Ordinances amending Planning law which i produced , a  total of seven law changes in three years. Full details are on the States of Alderney website with five videos I have produced with David Earl who is well known in the BBC. For more information follow this link
