There are some poems by local From the Constable poets to celebrate Liberation and some stories from St Saviour residents who were in Jersey when the Liberation forces arrived on that memorable day, 9th May 1945. It is always enlightening to read and hear of others’ stories from the Occupation and Liberation p4 of Jersey during the 1940s. Life was so very different then, from now, and it is difficult for us to imagine what life was really like for the children and adults living at that time. Giles Bois has submitted a most interesting article when St Saviour had to build a guardhouse on the south coast. The Parish was asked to help Grouville with patrolling Liberation Stories the coast looking for marauders and in 1690 both parishes were ordered to build a guardhouse at La Rocque. This article is a very good read and the historians among you will want to rush off to look for our Guardhouse! Photographs accompany the article to p11 illustrate the building in the early years and then later development. St Saviour Battle of Flowers Association is managing to keep itself alive with a picnic in St Paul’s Football Club playing field.

  • 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.

Political background 2.2 Jersey is a Crown Dependency with its own Legislature, Executive and Judiciary. It has autonomy from the United Kingdom (UK) in all respects other than defence and foreign affairs. The legislature is the States Assembly, which currently has 49 elected members: eight Senators, 12 Connétables and 29 Deputies. It is headed by the Bailiff (who is unelected), whose office dates back to 1235. The Bailiff is appointed by the Crown after consultation within the island. 2.3 The office of Senator was created in 1948, and each Senator represents the whole of the island. Deputies are elected within constituencies that correspond with Parish boundaries. One Connétable is elected for each of the 12 Parishes. A Connétable automatically has a seat in the States Assembly. The Connétable of each Parish is head of the Honorary Police of that Parish. 2.4 The principal responsibilities of the States Assembly are to legislate and to appoint a Council of Ministers, Public Accounts Committee and Scrutiny Panels. The States Assembly also approves annual estimates of public expenditure and elects a Chief Minister from among its members.

    DRAFT PARISH RATE (ADMINISTRATION) (JERSEY) LAW 200- _______________ Lodged au Greffe on 9th October 2001 by the Legislation Committee ______________________________ STATES OF JERSEY STATES GREFFE 180 2001 P.143 Price code: D European Convention on Human Rights The President of the Legislation Committee has made the following statement - In the view of the Legislation Committee the provisions of the Draft Parish Rate (Administration) (Jersey) Law 200- are compatible with the Convention Rights. (Signed) Senator W. Kinnard REPORT A. Background A.1 The 1946 Rate Law was based on rental values and in its own time was an extremely well thought-out Law, particularly because during its early years inflation was not an issue as it is nowadays and rental values did not increase noticeably. A.2 As Jersey prospered, house prices and rentals increased, and combined with the demand for “(j)” Category type housing from the mid-seventies created a two-tier system of rental. With the best intentions on their part, rate assessors Island-wide seemed to regard owner occupiers as a different group and did not increase their assessments exactly according to law. A.3 In 1977 the Connétables of the twelve parishes saw that all was not well and appointed a Working Party under the chairmanship of Mr. Philip de Veulle with the following terms of reference - “To consider the existing law relating to parish rates and its application and to make recommendations”. The Working Party issued its report in 1978 and pointed out inter alia - “The changes in circumstances affecting property down the years have led to sharp rises in property values and rentals.
