    The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey’s National and International Identity Interim Findings Report 1 Foreword Avant-propos What makes Jersey special and why does that matter? Those simple questions, each leading on to a vast web of intriguing, inspiring and challenging answers, underpin the creation of this report on Jersey’s identity and how it should be understood in today’s world, both in the Island and internationally. The Island Identity Policy Development Board is proposing for consideration a comprehensive programme of ways in which the Island’s distinctive qualities can be recognised afresh, protected and celebrated. It is the board’s belief that success in this aim must start with a much wider, more confident understanding that Jersey’s unique mixture of cultural and constitutional characteristics qualifies it as an Island nation in its own right. An enhanced sense of national identity will have many social and cultural benefits and reinforce Jersey’s remarkable community spirit, while a simultaneously enhanced international identity will protect its economic interests and lead to new opportunities. What does it mean to be Jersey in the 21st century? The complexity involved in providing any kind of answer to this question tells of an Island full of intricacy, nuance and multiplicity. Jersey is bursting with stories to tell. But none of these stories alone can tell us what it means to be Jersey. In light of all this complexity why take the time, at this moment, to investigate the different threads of what it means to be Jersey? I would, at the highest level, like to offer four main reasons: First, there is a profound and almost universally shared sense that what we have in Jersey is special.

  • St Helier Municipal Reform: Establishment of a Shadow Conseil Municipal for St Helier During 2020
    St Helier Municipal Reform: establishment of a shadow Conseil Municipal for St Helier during 2020 For consideration by the Parish Assembly on 6 November 2019 at 7.00pm PARISH OF ST HELIER P.06.2019 PROPOSITION PARISHIONERS are asked to take into consideration and if deemed advisable to approve the establishment of a shadow Conseil Municipal for St Helier during 2020. REPORT Background Procureur du Bien Public, Geraint Jennings, has been asking the Parish of St Helier to consider the establishment of a Conseil Municipal for many years, recommending that the informal arrangements introduced by the Constable of St Helier in 2002 to develop the role of the Roads Committee should be put on a more formal footing. These arrangements, including the holding of regular monthly meetings in public, the publication of agendas and minutes, the holding of public consultations and presentations (both on matters of local interest and on wider issues such as the development of Island Plans), and the discussion of strategies and policies that are outside the remit of the Committee, have enabled individual members to take on responsibility for particular areas of interest, such as tackling the problems of speeding and littering, encouraging recycling, advising on legal aspects of the purchase and sale of Parish property, and so on. The Constable has welcomed the greater involvement of the Roads Committee, together with that of the Procureurs du Bien Public in the running of the Parish, and believes that the evolution of the Committee into a Conseil Municipal, with additional members elected including a youth representative, would allow the expertise and interest of more parishioners to be harnessed for the benefit of all.
