The summer, though late in starting, was good and carried on well into October with many people continuing to swim in our bays or walk on the cliff paths, enjoying the scenery and the beautiful colour of the heathers. It’s been a good year and it’s worth reflecting on some events over the past months that have taken place in Trinity. Nearly 10,000 people of all ages attended Jersey Live at the RJ&HS, and staying at the RJ&HS, the Autumn Flower and Cattle Show was a true Jersey event. The exhibits were amazing, from the heaviest pumpkin, won by a parishioner, to amazing dahlias, locally grown at Les Platons, to the Jersey cows from Trinity Manor, and everything in between. It was such a successful weekend. Well done to all who are involved. This year’s Jersey Rally took place in mid-October, with entries from many places bringing friends and family to the Island to experience something very different on our narrow lanes – a welcome boost for Visit Jersey. We are so fortunate to have the Durrell headquarters in our Parish and around 800 people ran around our lanes in the Durrell Dash to raise funds for this wonderful charity who do so much work here and around the world. We mustn’t forget that most of these events would not be possible without the excellent support of our Honorary Police team and we thank them for all the hours they give voluntarily to keep our roads and community safe. So as we think of autumn and turning on the heating (only think!) I remember fondly what a good three months we’ve had since the last issue of the Tattler and what a wonderful Parish we live in. May I take this opportunity to wish you all and your families a very happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

  • 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
