Local NVA members were joined by George Avery, a visitor from England, a Sapper with the 71st Field Company. George landed on D-Day just after 8am on Sword Photograph courtesy of Graeme Delanoe Beach with Clive Kemp, and they made their way to Pegasus Bridge that afternoon, and he heard about the Jersey NVA when visiting the Pegasus Bridge café earlier this year. His visit was supported by Holidays for Heroes. Left: Clive Kemp and George Avery at the NVA memorial bench Hello, St Saviour! n March 2014 the Roads Committee approved the design for a new granite boundary stone to replace the metal sign on ILes Vaux New Road which had deteriorated. This was noticed by the Roads Committee on the 2013 Visite des Chemins. The Parish of St Saviour's Roads Committee was asked to contribute 50% of cost and in July 2014 the Constable of St Saviour agreed to share the cost, £750 to each Parish. Problems then ensued trying to determine the owner of the wall which took a number of months. In Spring 2015 it was agreed that the stone should be installed and unveiled in the autumn. The work was undertaken by the Parish of St Helier’s stonemasons.

  • Biodiversity Strategy for Jersey
    Bio Diversity a strategy for Jersey Forward by Senator Nigel Quérée President, Planning and Environment Committee This document succeeds in bringing together all the facets of Jersey’s uniquely diverse environmental landscape. It describes the contrasting habitats which exist in this small Island and explains what should be done to preserve them, so that we can truly hand Jersey on to future generations with minimal environmental damage. It is a document which should be read by anyone who wants to know more about the different species which exist in Jersey and what should be done to protect them. I hope that it will help to foster a much greater understanding of the delicate balance that should be struck when development in the Island is considered and for that reason this is a valuable supporting tool for the Jersey Island Plan.

  • The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey's
    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.

That study estimated the economic impact arising from specific past JCRA enforcement actions. In summary, it estimated approximately £12.5 million in total consumer savings arising from past JCRA actions in Competition Law enforcement and Telecommunications Regulation. These savings arose from: • Approximately £5.5 million in total consumer savings between the start of 2006 and the first half of 2008 from the removal of the formerly fixed fee for the provision of conveyancing services in Jersey; • Approximately £5 million in total consumer savings in fixed-line calls from Jersey to the UK between 2003 and the start of 2008; and • Approximately £2 million in total consumer savings in mobile telephony

The publication must be acknowledged as States of Jersey and the title specified. Published by the Department of Planning and Environment Printed on FSC approved paper 1 Jersey’s South East Coast Ramsar Management Plan Foreword Jersey is blessed with a rich and diverse coastal and marine environment and the Island’s history, heritage and culture is often a story of our relationship with the sea. Good stewardship of our coastal and marine environment is vital for the Island and future generations. The south east coast of Jersey is a hugely important part of our coastal zone and was designated a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention in 2000. This area provides habitat for many local species as well as migratory birds. The South East coast supports a broad range of commercial and leisure activities including fishing, aquaculture and general recreational use. The Management Plan for the South East coast has been prepared by the Ramsar Management Authority, a group consisting of stakeholders and Government. Many people made significant contributions to the development of the plan. If Jersey is going to support the natural environment and be a resource for all the other interests it is vital management is responsible and integrated. It must be balanced.

  • Island Studies Journal, Vol. 7, No. 2, 2012, Pp. 235-258 'Genuine Jersey
    Island Studies Journal , Vol. 7, No. 2, 2012, pp. 235-258 ‘Genuine Jersey’: Branding and Authenticity in a Small Island Culture Henry Johnson University of Otago New Zealand [email protected] Abstract: Jersey has attained a recognized international reputation especially in agriculture, tourism and finance. Over the past century, this small island has developed rapidly as a tourist destination and, since the 1960s, as a leading international finance centre. This paper discusses how a public-private organization uses a notion of islandness in order to help add value to local produce and products, and at the same time offering a sense of authenticity in terms of provenance. As an organization and brand, “Genuine Jersey” was launched in 2001 and is now a particularly visible island-based brand that does much to support local businesses and promote selected island produce and products more broadly to locals and visitors alike, as well as within a wider export industry. Drawing on discourses mainly from island studies and marketing, the article discusses how and why this brand exists on Jersey. While including a critical discussion of the brand itself, the paper shows how Genuine Jersey operates on and as a result of this particular island context. Keywords: authenticity, branding, Genuine Jersey, island, Jersey, produce, products, public- private partnership © 2012 Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Introduction This paper studies the interconnection between branding and constructions of authenticity on Jersey. The aim of the article is to show how one organization on a small island utilizes a notion of islandness in several ways in order to help add value in terms of provenance to select local produce and products.
