According to Deputy Paul le Claire (pictured), the demolition of the Odeon Building should be permitted in order to develop a better holistic re-generation of the North of Town. ‘The Odeon building in my opinion is a very ugly and unsightly building which is going to diminish the attractiveness of the new Town Park. A modern development on the Odeon site would enhance the park. The Odeon is currently listed by the Planning Minister. I believe the best start for us would be with a blank sheet of paper. I would like to open the gateway for such a proposal by giving the developer that opportunity. There is no compulsion to demolish, but if my amendment is approved they will not be restricted in the way they are at present.” The Masterplan and the various amendments that have been brought to it can be found on the States Assembly website www.statesassembly.gov.je under ‘Propositions’ - NORTH OF TOWN MASTERPLAN (REVISED) (P.190/2010) f 40”Sharp Full HDTV £399WAS £559 £7.68 PER WEEK Interest Free Credit Subject to status Exclusive to * *Channel Islands only LC40F22E 57 King Street, St Helier www.nsew.com T| 630334 February2011 Page8 The Town Crier Leading St Helier business GAAP Accounts continues supporting the Government and local authorities throughout the world and in the UK are moving from traditional accounts to GAAP community Accounts (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).

  • An Application to Ofcom for the Channel Islands Local DAB Digital Radio Multiplex
    Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands Limited An application to Ofcom for the Channel Islands local DAB digital radio multiplex Part A – Public Section July 2019 Executive summary Please provide a summary of your application, of no more than four pages in length. Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands 1. Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands Ltd (‘TMCI’) was created to establish local DAB digital radio in the Channel Islands, with shareholders who have significant analogue and digital radio experience through broadcasting and multiplex ownership – Tindle CI Broadcasting Ltd and Folder Media Ltd. 2. Tindle CI Broadcasting operates the popular and successful local heritage commercial services in the Channel Islands – Channel 103 and Island FM – which consistently report the highest percentage reach figures in the British Isles, whilst Folder Media has considerable experience as a multiplex operator and content producer, having established the Now Digital and MuxCo networks, and currently managing the MuxCo network as well as multiplexes owned by Wireless Group and Bauer Media. 3. Tindle CI Broadcasting and Folder Media have been developing plans to bring DAB to the Channel Islands since early 2018, initially undertaking research of radio listening habits and digital take-up across the islands, discussing opportunities with Ofcom, and then formally announcing its intention to apply in November 2018. 4. Our ethos is that digital radio should be available in a cost and operationally efficient manner to enable as many organisations as possible to broadcast. TMCI will offer both DAB and DAB+. We believe this is the best way to encourage more stations to join the platform and provide a compelling proposition for digital radio listeners.

  • Establishing Your Youth Parliament a Planning Guide
    ESTABLISHING YOUR YOUTH PARLIAMENT A PLANNING GUIDE Foreword I am delighted to contribute a foreword to this Youth Parliament Planning Kit. The Millennium Youth Parliament was part of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association’s (CPA) programme of informing the Commonwealth about the Commonwealth and the CPA. This goal is explicitly expressed in the Association’s Strategic Plan under Objective 8: “To increase the outreach of the Association, its Members and its Branches to non-members and to those outside the Commonwealth. In particular, to sponsor outreach programmes to young people, to make them aware of the value of parliamentary democracy and to encourage them in its promotion.” The CPA Youth Parliament was also, of course, a recognition of the importance of young people to the Commonwealth and its future and we hope that this work will be further strengthened by the production of this Youth Parliament Operational Kit. We trust that publicising such projects, as widely as possible, both within and outside the Association, will ensure that Parliamentarians and the wider Commonwealth are informed of their value. The kit is therefore designed to assist Branches or other interested organisations and individuals to organise and run their own youth parliaments. It draws heavily on the CPA’s experience in organising two international youth parliaments in 1997 and 2000 and I would like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Arthur Donahoe, QC, and the CPA Executive Committee for having the foresight to initiate such programmes at the international level. Two of our younger officials who assisted with the Millennium Youth Parliament have contributed a great deal to the preparation of this kit and I would like to thank them for their work.

Structure of the Island’s secondary education system 18. Conclusion 19. Appendix: 19.1 Evidence gathering Chairman’s Foreword Student suspension has been one of many school-related issues causing growing concern to public and professionals alike in recent years. Not just in terms of increasing numbers but also the more fundamental question as to what mix of social/educational/health problems may underlie this. Indeed, as was witnessed within the process of the Sub-Panel’s investigation, the issues provoked passionate opinions of the justification and effectiveness of suspension. It should thus be stated quite clearly at this point that the Sub-Panel entered into the suspension review with no preconceived ideas or ready-made solutions. For each member of the Sub-Panel, I know that I can add quite without fear of contradiction that this was very much a learning experience where our eventual collective findings and recommendations were based entirely on analysis of the experiences and evidence we were presented with.

  • Client Information Education in Jersey
    Client Information Education in Jersey Education Education provision in Jersey is excellent, ranging from nursery and pre-school classes through to the age of 18. Nursery education has to be funded privately but a selection of nurseries and pre-schools offer excellent provision to pre-school children. Most of the States Primary Schools have a pre-school attached. Children are eligible to start pre-school if they are 3 years old on 1 September. Forms can be obtained from your local school. All pre-school children are allowed 20 hours per week for free at an approved nursery (this can be attached to the school or a private establishment). Primary Education Each parish on the island has at least one local States primary school, with the exception of St Helier, which has six. The choice of school depends on your catchment area and how big the school is – some primary schools have one class per year and some have two classes per year. There is only one intake per year at the start of September and any child who is 4 years old on the 1 September will be eligible to join Reception. The parish primary schools are listed below: East of Island Grouville School 49.185967,-2.041504 Plat Douet School 49.17913,-2.08715 Samares School 49.170509,-2.083502 St Clement’s School 49.170655,-2.068943 St Martin’s School 49.219727,-2.054577 St Saviour School 49.194045,-2.084071 St Helier Springfield School 49.190578,-2.098356 D’Auvergne School 49.194553,-2.104359 Grand Vaux School 49.203274,-2.090819 Janvrin School 49.198122,-2.107873 Rouge Bouillon School 49.192586,-2.107884 St Luke’s School 49.178958,-2.095363 Centre of Island Bel Royal School 49.200512,-2.148594 First Tower School 49.194192,-2.126155 St Lawrence School 49.215165,-2.141433 St John’s School 49.244949,-2.138633 St Mary’s School 49.237461,-2.166876 Trinity School 49.229078,-2.093330 Page 1 © Quintessential Relocation Consultants Ltd 2017 tel.
