When rooms became available at the Town Hall it was felt that centralising the registration of births, deaths and marriages in St Helier with other parochial business and administration procedures would allow all municipal activities to be undertaken from one building. Historically, the Parish Registrar has been located at the Town Hall but approximately 20 years ago office space was offered rent-free in Vine Street and this released much needed space in the Town Hall. Recent lease changes meant that the Parish would be Revised opening hours mean that births, deaths and marriages required to pay substantial rent to have a presence near the can now be registered at any time between 9am and 4pm Royal Square, and when facilities became available at the Town Monday to Friday. Signage will direct you to the new location Hall it seemed prudent that, as well as saving money, now is the which is accessed via Seale Street at the side of the Town Hall time to bring this important municipal service back home. as shown on the plan (above). Cyclocross at People’s Park Local cycling clubs arranged a Cyclocross event on People's Park just before Christmas which raised £400 for Autism Jersey. Organiser Richard Tanguy said “It went amazingly well, everyone had a great day, a super laugh, and everyone is very keen to do it again, in particular, there at People's Park.” The Constable of St Helier presented the prizes to the winners. “This is just the kind of event we want to encourage in the Parish,” he said, “as it encourages young people to get involved in sport and is good for their health.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 4 Carriingg, PPeerrssonal & ‘Big enough to cope PPrrroofffeesssssional yet small enough to care’ T 01534 M 07797 776508 E [email protected] 481894 W www.lyonestates.co.uk A JJyersey compancompany ssiservervingng our IIlsland for over 100 yearysyears PITCHER & LE QUESNE FUNERAL DIRECTORS La Forge Superb granite 5 bedroom house or 2 gen Close to all St Mary amenities Very spacious internally WWee pride ourselves on, the caring, personal and professional approach 985K our experienced team provide.

  • States Greffe Annual Report 2020
    ST ATES ASSEMBLY ANNUAL REPORT 2020 PRIVILEGES AND PROCEDURES COMMITTEE July 2021 R.121/2021 Foreword by the Bailiff of Jersey Foreword by the Bailiff of Jersey Foreword by the Bailiff of Jersey President of the States I am delighted to contribute to the annual report of the States Assembly for 2020, the second time I have been able to do so as President of the States. The States has faced truly exceptional challenges in 2020, as indeed did we all, because of the Covid-19 pandemic. For most of the year Members were not able to convene in person and our business, as well as the work of committees and panel, was conducted online. Some Members found it easier to adapt than others, but collectively we got on with the job of adjusting to new ways of working to ensure that the Island's parliamentary system of government could continue. I am particularly proud of the fact that Jersey was the first Commonwealth jurisdiction to move the proceedings of its Assembly entirely online. Indeed, as this report shows, we have had one of our busiest ever years. Not only were numerous novel and complex pieces of legislation fully debated by the Assembly but there were more questions asked than ever before, particularly following the introduction of special periods of questions without notice to all ministers on Covid-19 matters. This was especially significant because the public had so many questions about Covid rules and the potential effects of the virus on all aspects of Island life. Indeed, I noted during the debate on opening our borders in the early part of the summer something like 3,000 people were following our proceedings online.

From sudden cold to sudden heat and back to sudden P9 cold again, some plants have been lost, but certainly we enjoyed a 'host of Golden daffodils', to Easter egg quote the poet, William Wordsworth. Then we enjoyed a truly hot Bank Holiday weekend at the hunt beginning of May; I hope that sets the trend for a long hot summer. On that horticultural theme, a lovely lady called Jackie de Gruchy has entered a poem called 'Gardening' and no doubt there will be many entries for the Gardens competition in the Parish in Bloom event. Nance Hicklin has written an introductory piece about the Parish in Bloom competition. A most interesting and educational article has been written by local St Saviour dairy farmer, Paul P14 Houze. He explains how agricultural practices have changed over the years and decades to become more environmentally practical and hospitable. The welfare and health of animals is paramount, and Longueville field husbandry and maintenance of hedges, hedgerows and trees takes equal importance.

We commend the election officials who were professional in carrying out their functions meticulously and impartially. In particular the efforts by the States Greffe to educate and engage all the segments of the population in the electoral process. However, their work was hindered by an electoral system which remains overly complicated and cumbersome. Further areas of concern relate to the number of uncontested elections, the disparity in the equality of the vote across districts and parishes and the low voter turnout which arguably undermines the principle that the elections in Jersey are fully genuine. Improvements are needed to tackle the deficiencies in the regulatory framework, particularly in relation to campaign financing, political parties and the process for candidate nomination.” Hon.

Signed: Deputy C.S.

A PPC Sub-Committee was established in June 2018 to consider all 18 recommendations and bring forward suggested improvements to the current electoral system. The Sub-Committee’s first tranche of legislative amendments addressed the first and third recommendations relating to voter inequality and inequity across the existing Island districts and culminated in the Assembly’s approval of P.17/2021 ‘Draft Constitution of the States and Public Elections (Jersey) Law 202-’. This second tranche responds to the remaining EOM recommendations in order to enhance the existing election process where possible. It also takes into consideration feedback from stakeholders after the last elections and implements changes resulting from a number of States decisions since 2018, to adopt propositions relating to election procedures, including the amendment of the Connétable of St.
