Vision for Jersey

Jersey will be a confident, well‑governed island that combines economic dynamism with social fairness and environmental responsibility.

My vision is for a community where government is competent, efficient, and transparent – enabling enterprise rather than constraining it. I want to restore fiscal discipline, simplify regulation, and ensure that public services deliver value and quality.

Jersey’s distinct identity and constitutional autonomy must be protected and promoted, while our economy remains open, competitive, and innovative. Housing must be affordable, healthcare preventive and accessible, and planning responsive to the needs of people and business alike.

Above all, Jersey should be a place where good governance, opportunity, and community pride work together – a model small jurisdiction that shows how disciplined leadership and pragmatic reform can secure prosperity and fairness for future generations.

Island issues

Cost of living

Tackling the High Cost of living

Tackle the cost of living problem by a combination of measures to reduce the cost of government and increase incomes.

Competent government

Delivering Competent and Efficient Government

Establish a government that works – one that makes good decisions, implements them efficiently, and delivers for the people of Jersey.

Sound public finances

Bringing Public Finances Under Control

Restore discipline to public finances, protect the long term interests of Islanders, and ensure that government lives within its means.

Thriving economy

Growing the Economy

Create an environment in which existing industries can thrive, new industries can grow, and Jersey’s economy can continue to provide opportunity and prosperity for future generations.

Cutting red tape

Reducing the Regulatory Burden

Create a regulatory environment that protects the public interest while enabling businesses to thrive. Regulation must be proportionate, efficient and focused on outcomes, not process.

Planning system

Reforming the Planning System

Develop a planning system that protects the Island’s character while enabling sensible, sustainable growth. The system should support good development, not obstruct it.

High quality education

Developing a High Quality Education System

Develop an education system that equips young people for a rapidly changing world of work. This requires stronger early years provision, an inclusive secondary education system, and expanded further and higher education opportunities on island.

Housing

Providing More Affordable Housing

Ensure that young families have realistic and affordable options, and that the housing market works more fairly for everyone.

Healthcare

Providing Efficient and Effective Healthcare

Complete the current hospital building projects efficiently and move decisively towards preventing healthcare problems.

Island Identity

Preserving Jersey’s Distinctiveness

Protect Jersey’s unique identity – its constitutional position, parish system, heritage and natural environment.
