I will make sure our district has a strong and consistent voice in the States Assembly.
I will oppose over-saturation from new development unless it is matched by upgraded schools, parks, and practical parking.
If elected, I will be visible and accessible in the constituency; listening, responding, and acting on your behalf.
A stable home is the bedrock of every Islander’s life. I will build on Reform Jersey’s work to strengthen renters’ rights and standards, tackle empty property and push back on pressures that drive rents up and take our homeownership further out of reach.
Health is our most precious commodity. I support the timely delivery of the new multi-site hospital and stronger focus on key-worker retention. I will press to reduce clinical waiting lists, avoid unnecessary transfers to UK hospitals for treatment we can safely provide here. I am committed to a sustainable Long-Term and Residential care system that meets today’s needs and plans for future demand. It is true that many Islanders are well cared for in present facilities, but the sector faces real pressures: tight budgets, workforce shortages, and rising complexity. I will work to keep funding, standards, and accountability focused on residents’ well-being and dignity, and on supporting the staff who provide care.
Jersey is rightly seen as a safe, family-friendly place, but our young people need broader options beyond post-16 education in order to gain the skills and qualifications they need for their future.
We need local pathways that support our students and educators, we must also build on the present momentum to help Islanders build fulfilling careers here at home.
Only together, can we build a fairer, stronger future for St Helier North and Jersey. I’m ready to work hard, to listen carefully, and help to turn the tide by focusing on practical change, honesty in government, and consistent outcomes that put Islanders first.
