THE ROADS COMMITTEE, FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH RESIDENTS OF FARLEY’S LANE AT FIRST TOWER, and after careful consideration of a number of options, has introduced a ‘no right turn’ designation from La Route de St Aubin into Farley’s Lane. Last year residents made representation to the Parish over the high number of vehicles, particularly at rush hour periods, who sought to get on to Victoria Avenue from the inner road, many of whom were described as travelling at excessive speed. As a number of properties on Farley’s Lane have limited visibility from garages and driveways, the Roads Committee decided to act by cutting off access for drivers coming from the Millbrook direction, thereby reducing through-traffic but still allowing access for all from the east.

  • 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.
