Published by the Parish of St. Brelade, Jersey Call for extra protection for St. 100 years young Maison St. Brelade resident, Mrs Doris Vibert celebrates her centenary with Jersey’s Lieutenant Aubin and St. Brelades Bay Governor, Andrew Ridgway and Mrs Ridgway States urged to consider ‘a more detailed planning framework’ FOLLOWING amendments from St. Brelade Deputy Angela Jeune, and supported by Parish politicians, the Draft Island Plan proposes to offer additional protection and safeguards against ‘unsympathetic’ development for two of St. Brelades most loved areas; St. Aubin and St. Brelades Bay. The Draft Island Plan reads: ‘For many generations St. Aubin has been a year-round highly attractive, photogenic and bustling harbour area providing for both Islanders and tourists alike. Successive Island development plans have sought to retain and protect its natural beauty and character. Whilst the shore and skyline settings and important open spaces which characterise the area are identified and protected through Island Plan policies, there is a need to develop a more detailed planning framework for the defined Built-up Area from Le Mont du Boulevard to the south to Le Mont au Roux to the North, to ensure that current and future pressure for the development and redevelopment of existing buildings in particular is sympathetic to its context and does not detract from the visual amenity of the area and the public enjoyment of it.’ ‘St. Brelade’s Bay is generally regarded as one of the most beautiful natural bays in the Island. Successive development plans have sought to retain and protect its natural beauty and character whilst recognising its role as an attractive place for tourists and islanders to visit and as a place to stay and live.

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.

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?

A copy of the Life In The UK book (ISBN 9780113413409) may be obtained from bookstores, online retailers or The Stationary Office http://www.tsoshop.co.uk/bookstore.asp 1 PART 1 THE ISLAND OF JERSEY – A BRIEF HISTORY The earliest evidence of human activity in the Island comes from about a quarter of a million years ago, when bands of Palaeolithic (old Stone Age) hunters moved through the area, following herds of mammoth. There are two cave sites, at La Cotte de St Brelade and La Cotte à le Chèvre, which tell us the story of these early days. However, people only really settled at about the time Jersey became an island – about 7,000 years ago, when the water from the melting Arctic ice caps eventually flooded over the low-lying plains between what is now Jersey and France. This was the beginning of the Neolithic period, or new Stone Age, and it was then that the first farmers began to settle. The most obvious evidence from this time are their religious sites – the tombs known as dolmens – that can be seen around the Island, the biggest and most spectacular being at La Hougue Bie. At this time Jersey’s main links were with the people who lived around the St Malo region of France, and by the time the Romans moved into the region, just over 2,000 years ago, the Island population was probably part of the Coriosolites tribe.
