  • Annual Report 2020 21
    Parish of St Helier 2020/21 Annual Report 1. Foreword by the Constable of St Helier I am delighted to offer Parishioners as well as interested Islanders the Parish's first Annual Report. In previous years the Accounts and Budget Report has been provided to ratepayers in July each year and this has covered some of the ground that readers would expect to find in an Annual Report. However, it seems entirely appropriate that an organisation of the size and complexity of our parish should provide a fuller overview of its activities during the past year, and I am grateful to our Chief Executive for taking up this challenge and producing this significant document. The past financial year has been an enormous challenge with the Coronavirus pandemic requiring huge changes in how the Parish delivers its services; this reports shows the tremendous effort that has been made by every member of staff to adapt and in some cases to change their working practices in order to comply with the public health restrictions. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to all of our staff for their flexibility and commitment to getting their jobs done in what have been extremely trying circumstances. Our honorary and voluntary teams have also been invaluable during the past year in supporting parishioners and ensuring the smooth running of parochial life. I should highlight the work carried out by our Honorary Police force, in particular the significant amount of extra work and responsibility taken on by our Centeniers, four of whom managed the responsibility for charging on behalf of the eleven other parishes as well as our own workload.
