elcome to the June edition of the Town Crier. This is always a particularly busy month for St Helier with some major events being held in the Parish, especially the International Festival of Motoring which starts on Thursday 5th June, a new cycling event being held on the following weekend and the Jersey Triathlon at the end of the month. These sporting events help to animate St Helier, introduce our town to new visitors, as well as showcasing the invaluable work of our Honorary Police, assisted by officers from other parishes, without whose help such events would be difficult if not impossible to stage. At the same time it is a month in which key moments in our history are commemorated, particularly the departure of the evacuees which is remembered in a service on the Albert Pier on Sunday 22nd, and the anniversary of the bombing of St Helier on Saturday 28th. The Parish is also continuing to support the work of the Normandy Veterans Association by coordinating a visit of several islanders to take part in the 70th anniversary commemorations in France. An important Parish Assembly on Monday 2nd June will see plans for the redevelopment of Maison de Ville presented, debated and hopefully approved. More information about this project, together with details of everything else that is taking place in our Parish this month can be found in this month's magazine.

WW1 COMMEMORATIVE EVENT

n 14th August 1914, following the German failure to withdraw from neutral Belgium, Britain joined in a war that was to last over four years, range over the entire globe and cost over 750,000 of British citizens their lives.

At the time, Jersey had a resident population of just over 50,000, and approximately a fifth of them served the British or French war effort, which left few Islanders untouched by the tragedy of war. While the story of the Great War is a story of millions, it is also the story of individuals. The Island will mark the centenary of the outbreak of the Great War with a special Island commemorative ceremony in the Royal Square on the evening of Monday 4th August, which will be attended by H.E. the Lieutenant-Governor and the Bailiff. Members of the public will also be able to freely attend and provision will be made for suitable access. Those Islanders who served in the ‘war to end all wars’ will be honoured during a poignant remembrance service featuring evocative poetry, readings, brass bands and choral music. The Bailiff, Sir Michael Birt, would like to invite groups of approximately 25 representatives from each of the Island’s twelve parishes to join a unique parade that will form part of the ceremony. Participants will form a procession, carrying candles or lanterns to represent those fallen, together with the parish standards. Islanders wishing to participate in the parade should ideally have a family connection to a veteran of the Great War and should contact their Parish Hall to register their interest. There is no age limit, so adults and older children can get involved. The evening will start at approximately 7.45pm until 11pm, and there will be other community activity in the lead-up to the event. For more information please contact Donna Le Marrec on 448832.

Your call is important to us! W

e have recently been looking at ways to improve the experience of callers to our main telephone number, 811811. Reception and Customer Services get very busy at certain times, which can lead to callers getting frustrated when they are not answered quickly. To improve the situation, we have installed a new auto-attendant function that will answer all calls to 811811 with a recorded greeting and give them options to go straight through to certain departments. From Wednesday 16th April, all callers to 811811 have been hearing an announcement welcoming them to the Parish and giving them options to press 1, 2 or 3 to go directly through to the following departments:

• • •

Customer Services (for paying fines, rates and licences) Charges (to enquire about a parking fine) Depot (to enquire about refuse and recycling)

Any caller who does not want these options will go through to the receptionist for handling as normal. Based on feedback from Reception and Customer Services, we believe that these three options will be popular with a lot of callers. With the new function, they can go straight through without having to wait. This will free time for the receptionist to deal with other callers. We will continue to review how the auto-attendant facility is working and make changes to the announcement and / or options if necessary. If anyone wants any further information, there are some questions and answers set out below. If anyone has any feedback, please email a.pemberton@posh.gov.je.

Telephone auto-attendant: QUESTIONS

Q Why have we installed an auto-attendant on the Parish’s main number?

We have recently been looking at ways to improve the experience of callers to our main telephone number, 811811. Reception and Customer Services get very busy at certain times, which can lead to callers getting frustrated when they are not answered quickly. To improve the situation, we have installed a new auto attendant facility that will answer all calls to 811811 with a recorded greeting and give them options to go straight through to certain departments.

Q Won’t callers just get annoyed

because they have to listen to an announcement rather than a real person?

& ANSWERS

They can press 2 to reach Charges and enquire about a parking fine. They can press 3 to reach the Depot and enquire about refuse collection or recycling. Or they can wait to go through the receptionist as normal.

Q Why have you chosen these options?

Based on feedback from Reception and Customer Services, we think these are some of the most popular reasons for calling 811811 and so should free up the most time for the receptionist to deal with those people calling with other queries.

Q Was the auto-attendant expensive to install?

We think most people are used to being answered by an announcement when they call organisations, particularly those that are often busy. We have deliberately chosen a short announcement and just three options to ensure callers do not get frustrated.

No, it was a part of our existing telephone system that just needed setting up and turning on.

Q What happens if the announcements or options prove to be unpopular with callers?

Q What options will our callers have?

They can press 1 to reach Customer Services and pay a fine, their rates or a licence.

We will monitor how the system is working and change the set-up if necessary.

Constable ’s Comment W

ith Sunday trading legislation once again on the States’ agenda, the Parish Roads Committee is unanimously opposed to proposals by the Economic Development Minister. The trial, which the States will debate this month, would allow all shops, no matter how large, to open on Sundays and our concern is that this would lead to Sunday becoming like any other shopping day with all the attendant difficulties of traffic, noise and pollution; the Roads Committee feels that Sundays should be kept special for St Helier residents who have to bear the brunt of being the Island’s capital for six days a week. It should be noted that Jersey already has a very liberal Sunday trading law, with the majority of shops able to open, and many of them do – particularly in the summer season when there are extra tourists visiting the town. The Parish is also keen to build on the success of last year’s street party by introducing a weekly street market on Sundays; this will be an attraction for locals and visitors alike, and will be something very different from the normal shopping opportunities available in town. Ironically, if the Sunday trading trial goes ahead, it will make it much more difficult for St Helier to have a weekly market on Sundays due to the increased traffic. Supporters of deregulation seem to forget that there are other impacts on St Helier ratepayers too: the increased cost of street cleaning, litter bin emptying and parking control, as well as there being, as yet, unresolved questions about the potential impact on staff who prefer not to work on Sundays.

COMMUNITY ART

The Link Gallery BY JULIA COUTANCHE

Entry to the Link Gallery is free for all visitors. It was first used as an exhibition space in 2002. Since then there has been a varied programme of community exhibitions by individuals and groups – local artists (from well-established to break-through names and students), crafts people such as the Embroiderers’ Guild and various photographers. Other exhibitions have commemorated anniversaries, such as the founding of Family Nursing and Home Care or the birth of Florence Boot, or featured international projects like Christina Henri’s ‘Roses from the Heart’ – bonnets embroidered in memory of convict women who were shipped to 'parts unknown' and became the backbone of Australian society.

Drawing is fun and it can develop skills. “Drawing develops curiosity and promotes the joy of learning”.

NT LIVE: A SMALL FAMILY BUSINESS THU 12 JUNE | £12.50

This year, the Link Gallery is sponsored by Rathbones and the Exhibition Programme is an exciting and eclectic mix with wide appeal.

As Fred Gettings explains in the introduction to his book ‘You are an artist’, “art is not the prerogative of great artists: it is an activity in which we may all participate at our different levels, each of us bringing to art what we have – our technical ability and our imagination – and taking from art what we learn.” So The Big Draw is not just for confident and talented artists, it is for anyone and everyone to enjoy. Jersey Heritage first participated in the Big Draw in 2004. Over the years we have run all sorts of drawing activities. This year we aim to encourage as many people as possible to take part by inviting people of all ages and artistic abilities to join in a postcard art project, Local Heroes. Flyers and postcards have been distributed Island-wide. They are available at all

Jersey Heritage sites, all parish halls including the Town Hall, at Jersey Arts Centre, the General Hospital, the Library and art materials suppliers. Postcards have also been sent to primary schools, secondary schools and to residential homes for the elderly. We hope you will feel inspired to draw a portrait of someone who you consider to be a hero and we look forward to receiving your art work and exhibiting it in the Link Gallery. The portrait must be A6, either drawn on the postcard or stuck on to it. You can use pencils, pen & ink, pastels, crayons, charcoal, mixed media, collage etc.

• Tell us who the portrait is of and why you think they are heroic.

• Fill in your name, age and contact details then send your postcard artwork to Jersey Museum, The Weighbridge, St Helier, Jersey JE2 3NG.

• Postcards must arrive by 5.30pm on the closing date, Monday 30 June 2014. Postcards are available island-wide – at all Jersey Heritage sites, the library and parish halls.

All the artwork will be exhibited in the Jersey Museum Link Gallery, during October 2014.

JOUR-J, NOTRE DEVOIR DE MÉMOIRE

juin 1944, à l’aube, les allemands se réveillèrent et ne pouvaient pas croire ce qu’ils voyaient à travers leurs jumelles : l’horizon de la mer de la Manche était saturé de bateaux ! L’Opération Neptune, la première phase de l’Opération Overlord, la plus grande opération militaire de l’Histoire, annonça la fin de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale en commençant par un Débarquement sur les plages normandes : la Bataille de Normandie était lancée. Organisé des mois à l’avance, le Débarquement impliqua des milliers de soldats Américains, Britanniques et Canadiens qui, par un altruisme formidable et un énorme élan de générosité, sont venus libérer l’Europe d’une des dictatures les plus féroces de tous les temps. Même si à 20 ans, on est bien trop jeune pour mourir, ils se sont battus pour la Liberté, l’Humanité, l’Espoir et surtout la Paix.

RSC: HENRY IV PART 2 WED 18 JUNE | £12.50

La protection de ces sites, la sauvegarde de ce message universel et la transmission aux futures générations sont trois raisons pour lesquelles les autorités locales et associations ont décidé de présenter la candidature des plages du Débarquement auprès du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO et ainsi faire partie des 878 autres sites classés dans le monde. Le projet inclut les cinq plages : Omaha, Utah, Juno, Sword et Gold Beach. Vous pouvez témoigner de votre soutien sur le site www.liberte-normandie.com.

70th Anniversary of D-Day and Battle of Normandy FROM JUNE TO AUGUST 2014

D-DAY, OUR DUTY TO REMEMBER

th June 1944, at dawn, the incredulous Germans woke up and were stunned at what they could see through their binoculars: the horizon of the Channel Sea was saturated with ships! Operation Neptune, the first phase of Operation Overlord, the greatest military operation in history, announced the end of the Second World War starting with a landing on the Normandy Beaches: the Battle of Normandy.

THE ELVIS YEARS SAT 21 JUNE | £19.50

Organised months in advance, the American, British and Canadian Forces showed an extraordinary gesture of altruism and generosity to liberate Europe from one of the worse dictatorships of all times. Thousands of young soldiers embarked in silence on barges, in strong winds and chose to risk their lives – even if, at 20 years of age, they were too young to die – for Freedom, Humanity, Hope and above all, Peace. Protecting these sites, saving this universal message and passing it on to the future generations are three reasons why local authorities and associations have decided to apply to register this Land of Freedom amongst the other 878 worldwide protected sites of the Unesco. The project incorporates the five Landing Beaches: Omaha, Utah, Juno, Sword and Gold Beach. If you would like to support the campaign, you can sign up here www.liberte-normandie.com.

CHILDREN FROM WESTMOUNT DAY NURSERY had great fun dressing up and undertaking various Easter activities at the end of April, including the Egg and Spoon Race which took place on People’s Park. They also spent time with the residents of St Helier House, who always enjoy their visits.

RESIDENTS AT ST EWOLD’S were joined by the children of Avranches Day Nursery together with Miss St Helier, Anya Skinner, to celebrate Easter, who performed their Easter Parade for them. The residents also thoroughly enjoyed their Liberation Day celebrations, and pictured (left) are Harold and Marilyn Gaskell who also recently celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary.

June is a month full of drama at Jersey Arts Centre, some hard-hitting, some sidesplitting! Puppet theatre company Sparkle & Dark visit the Island for the first time on 10 June, bringing their hit new play Killing Roger. Using stunning life-sized puppetry and original live music, Killing Roger explores one of the most important moral questions of our generation in a moving and humorous tale of an old man and a boy at opposite end of their lives. The play presents a dialogue on the issue of assisted death in a way that cannot fail to make an impact, using dark humour and thought-provoking dialogue to make audience members question their own beliefs. Be sure not to miss this piece of outstanding theatre at Jersey Arts Centre. Next, running from 19 – 21 June, Jersey Arts Centre’s award-winning youtheatre presents a feast of theatrical delight! In The Harold Pinter Revue Sketches, all the traditional Pinteresque mystery, menace, black comedy and social commentary is explored, with themes ranging from umbrellas to night buses. Absurd, yet always rooted in the everyday, the youtheatre’s production includes all but two of Pinter’s famous sketches, as Applicant and Interview are not available for performance. Directors Daniel Austin and Nicole Twinam ask that you read copies of the two missing sketches before seeing the performance in order to have the full collection under your belts! In typical youtheatre style, this is sure to be a night at the theatre that is anything but ordinary.

For those with an artistic flair, the popular Summer Art School returns from 21 – 25 July.

Drawing inspiration from animals and nature in traditional folk stories, this colourful and exciting workshop is perfect for budding designers!

World Music Day SATURDAY 21ST JUNE

very year on 21st June people throughout Europe celebrate World Music Day. From Belfast, to Malaga, to Jersey, communities will be celebrating the universal language of music by doing what they do best, performing their own music in their own style within their home towns.

Last year was the first year that Jersey took part and it was a successful day, giving people a chance to play in public and animating the streets of St Helier. This year 21st June falls on a Saturday and so the event will be bigger and better with a stage erected on the Weighbridge along with outdoor seating and al fresco food so that people can stay for longer and enjoy the music whilst partaking in the many delicacies on offer. Live acoustic music will also be offered at various locations throughout the town centre. The event runs from 10am to 11pm and is organized by the Parish of St Helier in association with the States of Jersey Development Company and La Motte Street Music. Simon Crowcroft, Constable of St Helier, says: 'The Parish is delighted to be getting behind this event for a second year. It offers a great opportunity for our talented musicians to showcase their art. It will bring pleasure to local residents and visitors, provide a boost to town shops, and will enhance people's visit to St Helier by filling King Street and the Weighbridge with music.'

JT customers get better broadband F rom June JT’s customers will begin to see a considerable increase in broadband speeds following a major change in the way the company provides broadband in Jersey.

Fast and reliable broadband is important for activities such as social networking, video-calling, downloading music and film, and streaming TV, as well as allowing more family members to use the internet smoothly and quickly at the same time. Recent research shows that on average, homes in Jersey contain at least ten devices which are connected to the internet. This research indicates that fast and reliable broadband is becoming a priority for JT customers.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

The service will not change for fibre customers on 50Mb/s, 100Mb/s or 1GB/s.

However, customers currently on 2Mb/s can continue to pay £17.99 per month until 2016, and keep their current data usage allowance. In order to secure this price point they simply need to re-sign for a further 18-months, whether they are currently still in-contract or not, (and still receive up to 20Mb/s on copper or 50Mb/s on fibre).

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CUSTOMERS? Faster and more reliable speeds for everyone and the majority of JT customers will now get a better service for the same, or lower, cost.

JT has responded to feedback from customers who wanted to see a smaller and simpler range of broadband products, introductory broadband speeds greater than 2Mb/s.

As well as drastically improving download speeds, JT has also doubled upload speeds and usage allowances for the majority of residential customers. Data used outside of the data usage allowance will be charged at 30p per GB.

In addition, JT is reacting to an exponential increase in data usage over the last couple of years. Over that period the average data downloads have quadrupled for those on the new fibre network, and doubled for those on the copper network.

However, for those who only need the internet for simple email and web browsing JT will continue to provide a basic 2Mb/s mobile broadband product at the current price of £17.99 until 2016.

Demand for high speed broadband is only set to increase and JT’s new packages have been designed to address these issues and offer customers, whatever their usage requirements are now and for the future.

It’s worth mentioning that the entry price of £17.99 per month for a broadband connection has not increased for seven years.

WHAT TO DO NEXT? In most cases the changes will happen automatically.

THE NEW PACKAGES All fibre customers will now receive guaranteed speeds of at least 50Mb/s, with prices starting from £22.99. While all copper-based customers will have the option of receiving the maximum speed their line can deliver, up to 20 Mb/s, also for £22.99.

However, 2Mb customers who wish to ‘fix’ their price for 18-months need to register with JT for the promotion by 14th June 2014. This can be done online at www.jtglobal.com/broadbandoffer, in person at the JT Shop or by calling 01534 882882.

YEAR SIX AT D’AUVERGNE SCHOOL has been studying a variety of persuasive texts and the features of effective writing. They have looked at different methods of persuasion and the appropriate use and context to appeal to the reader. This is a piece of persuasive writing from a pupil who feels very strongly about world poverty and has used her own views and opinions to form the basis of her writing.

Poverty Today I am here to talk to you about poverty and how it should stop. Do you ever walk down the street and see a homeless person? Do you stop and give them some money or even a little bit of your time? Poverty should stop not in a few days, not tomorrow, but now… Some people think that they live in poverty just because they don’t have enough money to buy the newest pair of designer trainers; but that’s not what poverty is. Poverty is when you can’t afford food, water, clothes, or even a safe home. When you think of poverty, many people think of children in Africa, who walk for miles and miles just for a cup of water, which is thick with animal waste and disease that could endanger their lives. The poverty many people think of is happening in places all around the world. However, the place that people don’t often think about is right on our doorstep – The UK. Poverty is all over the world and is a growing problem. Everyone has the right to be healthy and happy. We take a lot of things for granted, food, water, clothes. It is an embarrassment that poverty is continuing in this day and age. Some people can’t even afford food in 2014! People go on about this being the era of change, WHEN, when will this change happen? What strikes me is that we are all human beings, and yet a minority strut around looking down on those who are “below” them. If people like that had the decency to care or even acknowledge the poor along with everybody else, then it would make a difference in the world. We all must help those who need it. We are all responsible for the welfare of others. We must support and help each other. It doesn’t matter what colour skin you’ve got or what language you speak, we are all human and all can help. Next time you walk past a homeless person, consider them. Help, because one day you might be in their situation.

Miss St Helier, Mr St Helier and Junior Miss St Helier were also in attendance.

Honorary Police report

he first quarter of 2014 was a busy time for our Parish Police Officers. In addition to all the work that the Centeniers carry out in dealing with offenders at Parish Hall level, which could not happen without the assistance of the Vingteniers and Constable’s Officers, or presenting the cases in the Magistrate’s Court, the demands on the service have been ever-present. During those three months the Honorary Police of the Parish conducted enquiries on 58 nights and on a further 84 occasions were deployed to cover events within the Parish. During January and February this included 24 occasions when officers, supported by other Parish employees, turned out in extreme weather when much of our coastal line was being flooded to ensure that the roads were closed, the public kept safe and thereafter to make sure that the roads were safe to be used by the travelling public of the Island. The second quarter of the year has been similarly demanding in terms of time and resources and, whilst definitive statistical data is not yet ready for disclosure, the work in association with the Criminal Justice System has continued unabated. During April the officers assisted their colleagues from the Sates of Jersey Police in the aftermath of the tragic events which occurred in Duhamel Place when a man lost his life.

By the time that we go to press there will have been some major events policed in conjunction with Honorary Police Officers from other parishes to whom we are grateful for their support. This will have included events such as the Jersey Boat Show held over the May Bank Holiday weekend and which attracted many visitors, the Liberation Day celebrations and the Muratti Vase Final at Springfield. So far this year two new members have joined, Constable’s Officers Tracey Russell and Alice De Castro, two Centeniers – David Webber and Peter Garrett – were re-elected, and another member, Christopher Buckley, was successfully elected as a Centenier having previously served as a Constable’s Officer. The Parish recognises the importance of the role that the Honorary Police undertake and encourages anyone who is interested in joining to contact the Honorary Police Administrator, Kevin Molloy, on 811890 or via email at k.molloy@posh.gov.je.

stunning new set of six postcards has been unveiled which captures Jersey as seen by Islanders. Following the success of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Picture Jersey initiative, a new set of postcards has been produced in association with the Jersey Evening Post and Jersey Post.

postcards SHOW ANOTHER SIDE OF JERSEY

Guests staying at any of the six hotels that make up the Luxury Jersey Hotels consortium will be given high-quality postcards showing photos of the Island that have been taken by Islanders. The hotels are The Atlantic Hotel, Grand Jersey, The Club Hotel & Spa, L'Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa, Hotel de France and The Royal Yacht. More than 800 photographs were entered into the Picture Jersey photography competition. Five of the winning six were decided by a panel of three judges: Peter Mourant, Picture Editor of the Jersey Evening Post; Patrick Burke, owner of The Atlantic Hotel and Chairman of Luxury Jersey Hotels; and Kevin Keen, CEO of Jersey Post. The sixth image was chosen by JEP readers, who voted for their Readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Choice from a shortlist. The winning images have been turned into free Jersey postcards (available from Broad Street Post Office and other outlets), supported by sponsorship from Jersey Post, and the six winning photographers have each received a luxury hotel stay as their prize. All proceeds are going to Macmillan. Picture: Tony Pike, Jersey Evening Post

RUBiS JERSEY INTERNATIONAL MOTORING FESTIVAL

ince 2000 Jersey has benefited from the revival of an international festival of motoring on our public roads, thanks largely to the unstinting and enthusiastic efforts of islanders willing to put the necessary work into the organisation and promotion of such an event. Year on year the festival has grown in its scope and variety, attracting visitors to Jersey in increasing numbers, and developing a programme of activities to appeal to young people. We have also been fortunate in the willingness of sponsors, large and small, to contribute the necessary funds and expertise to allow the festival to prosper. My hope is that Jersey will soon be able to host a motoring festival with a truly international appeal, especially given Jersey's rich motoring heritage, including the Jersey Road Race which was last

held more than 60 years ago, and the large number of historic and vintage cars and motorbikes which have been restored and maintained by islanders. I would like to thank in particular the many volunteers who contribute their time and expertise in the running of the various races and exhibits, the Honorary Police Officers from all parishes who put in long hours to the complex traffic management necessary for the holding of races on public roads, and the islanders who accept a degree of disruption in their daily lives which is necessary when major roads in Jersey are temporarily closed. Every best wish to everyone taking part in the 2014 Jersey International Festival of Motoring. Constable Simon Crowcroft

Dumpty began again…

he above quote from Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass formed part of the judgment of the Court in the recent case of Herold –v– Minister for Planning. It was a reflection of the Court’s dim view of the Planning Minister’s inconsistent approach on the same point which the Court had considered four months earlier.

THIRD PARTY APPEALS Jersey law permits third party appeals against planning permissions, which means that a neighbour may challenge a decision made by the Planning Minister in the Royal Court. Mrs Herold is the owner of ‘Seymour Cottage’ on the coast at Grouville. The name of her home is probably taken from Seymour Tower which is a dominating fortification out to sea at Grouville bay. The Minister granted permission for a multi-unit development to be built next-door to Seymour Cottage. Mrs Herold challenged the planning permission on amongst other things, the following grounds:

•

the Minister had ignored the status of her home as a potential ‘Building of Local Interest’; and

•

the permission was inconsistent with the written policies of the Island Plan in its impact on the amenities of her home generally.

POTENTIAL BUILDING OF LOCAL INTEREST The Minister first sought to argue that the historic environment policies of the Island Plan were not relevant to Seymour Cottage because it was not in fact listed: it is merely a ‘potentially listed building’ rather than one which has actually been granted the listed status.

The Court recited the quote above because the Planning Minister appeared to be advancing the opposite argument to that which had been advanced in an earlier case dealing with an unrelated property coincidentally named Seymour Villa (Seymour Villas Limited –v– Minister for Planning). At the time, Seymour Villa was also a ‘potentially listed building’. To the Court, the Minister’s approach was inconsistent as he had refused a planning application for Seymour Villa by reference, in part, to the same historic environment policies that he was now arguing did not apply to Seymour Cottage as a ‘potentially listed building’. It was noted that there are some 3,500 sites which have been given the label ‘potential listed building’ (the majority of those on the register) and which have yet to be considered for a full listing. That process is slow. The Court concluded that the potential listing of ‘Seymour Cottage’ next door to the proposed Grouville development could not be ignored and the Minister had misdirected himself that the historic environment policies did not apply.

THE SETTING The Minister’s second argument was that, in any event, Seymour Cottage was not on the development site and so the historic environment policies could not apply for that reason or, at least, less weight should be given to them as regards a potentially listed building next door to the development site. The Court disagreed, preferring the arguments of Mrs Herold, represented by Advocate Baxter of Viberts. It held that the specific wording of the planning law required the Minister to take into account the impact of the development in the surrounding area and that the ‘setting’ of a listed building was also to be safeguarded. The context of a development is important and the Court concluded it would be quite improper to ignore it.

CONCLUSION This case underlines the importance of consistency in administrative decision making where there is a policy to apply. However, it also illustrates the practical difficulties being experienced with the current listing system and the application of planning policies. The Court noted that the Minister might label properties a grade of listing and yet those rankings were not formally recorded in the policies and had no status. It is suggested that the planning policies ought to be reviewed to ensure both Planning and the public have a clear understanding of how they will affect applications which may have an impact on protected buildings.

Street cleaning update BY DEBRA D'ORLEANS,

DIRECTOR OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES

Jèrriais By Geraint Jennings

he Parish is responsible for cleaning roads and pavements within the Parish ring road and Transport and Technical Services (‘TTS’) clean the roads outside this area; the Parish street cleaning team has been reviewing its methods of cleaning in order to better utilize the current resources. They have categorized each road within the ring road using industry standard guidelines to provide a baseline to work with, and from this information the frequency of cleaning has been determined based on criteria such as footfall, demographics, and the number and types of businesses on that road.

AU MAIS D'JUÎN N'OU N'EST PON À JEUN S'lon un vièr avis des Romains, l'mais d'Juîn 'tait l'mais des jûnieurs quandi qu'lé mais d'Mais 'tait l'chein des mâjeurs. Assa au jour d'aniet j'pouvons dithe qué ch'est un mais pouor les grands et pouor les p'tits. Nou-s'est un long but avanchi dêjà d'l'année et les fricots d'Noué sont oubliés et la jeunée d'Janvyi étout sans doute. Mangiz don au mais d'Juîn! J'pouvons pensez à piquenitchi – véthe, faut faithe lé fain tandi qu'lé solé lit. J'avons nos pars auve lus belle vèrte bliête. Ch'est à espéther qu'la bliête n's'en va pon r'jaûni par d'la sicrèche ch't Êté. Les jannes pouôrront jouarder et les vièrs à jopînter étout s'i' pouôrront, ieux. S'assiéthe sus d'la vèrte hèrbe, ch'est un pliaîsi d'chu mais – et s'nou-s'est pus à co vyi, nou peut sîmpliément s'rêjoui ou même s'rajanni en r'gardant la jouaie d'Juîn. Tchi ji!

NO NEED TO FAST IN JUNE According to what the ancient Romans said, the month of June was the month of juniors, while the month of May, that of majors or seniors. Well nowadays we can say it's a month for big and small alike. We're already a long way advanced into the year and Christmas feasts are forgotten and January fasting too no doubt. So eat away in the month of June! We can think of picnicking – indeed, make hay while the sun shines. We've got our parks with their fine green lawns. It is to be hoped that the turf won't be turned yellow again by summer drought. The young can run and jump and the old can cut capers too if they can. Sitting down on green grass, it's one of the pleasures of this month – and if you're on the older side, you can simply enjoy yourself or feel younger again by looking around at joyful June. What fun!

The team is in the process of determining the most suitable method of cleansing, such as litter picking, manual or mechanical sweeping. This will be based on a number of factors such as accessibility, surface type, street furniture and other fixed obstacles. The Parish currently has a range of equipment used within the street cleaning service to ensure maximum coverage, ranging from the basic manual sweeping handcart right through to the big Johnson road sweeper, and each piece of equipment has a specific role to play:

•

Handcart – this is a very simple but effective method which can be accessed and used in all weathers. Ideal for use in high footfall areas such as the precinct;

•

Mechanical Sit-on Green Machine – using a combination of scrubbing and suction, this a powerful tool for picking up litter and debris across a number of surface types and can be used in both large and small areas;

•

Glutton – this is an electric batterypowered pedestrian-controlled machine with a suction hose for picking up litter (affectionately known as the “poodle”);

•

Hako – this is a small ride-on sweeper/cleaner. It is useful as a precinct and pavement washer;

•

Medium & Large Sweeper – this is a brushing and suction machine which covers roads and larger paved areas; and

•

Hot pressure washer – used to provide hot wash for the removal of deep stains, spills and chewing gum.

Street cleaning in St Helier is covered by morning and afternoon crews, operating from 6am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and 6am to 6pm on Sundays. If you wish to report a street cleaning issue please use the “Report a Street Problem” on the Parish website, www.sthelier.je or telephone 811708.

SMILE, YOU’RE ON STAGE

ne of the service sectors which has a reputation for outstanding service is Disney. Its handbook for new employees, entitled ‘You’re on Stage at Disneyland’, used to contain the following information: Now, if you can remember to have fun in your job... You're "with it". You're in Show Business.

•

Firstly, you should remember that if you are not enjoying the job you will need the acting ability of a major Hollywood star to overcome your less than enthusiastic attitude.

•

Next, you need to have a total and complete knowledge of your products and able to supply an answer to any queries that arise. Your shop or restaurant is your stage. There is a stall in the Seattle Fish Market that creates theatre and display for its customers every day of the week with fish flying from employee to employee as if juggling.

•

Lastly, every customer is a VIP and should be treated as such – after all they are paying your wages. You should be making a friend out of everyone that enters your premises.

Having worked in retail for over 40 years I believe that a pleasant shopping experience is a 'two way street': serving a customer who is animatedly talking on their mobile telephone and not looking at you is clearly unsatisfactory. Similarly, a sales assistant that does not look you in the eye, smile or acknowledge you does not deserve your custom. We need above all to celebrate the examples of excellent customer service we find in St Helier and tell our friends about them.

EVERYONE'S A VIP!

Richard MacKenzie, Town Centre Manager This handbook is over fifty years old but still has relevant tips to the provision of good service:

LA COLLETTE MARINA by André Ferrari

responsible for what was built there, and it would be an interesting exercise to calculate just how many publicly paid chiefs and Indians were involved in creating an area that is so irredeemably awful. Rather a lot I suspect. Did it never occur to anyone that the odd tree or bush might be helpful? Evidently not.

a Collette is such an attractive name. How sad then that the reclaimed area that bears this pretty name is so unremittingly awful. When our forefathers built harbours, piers and seawalls etc, they built structures out of our native material that were always pleasing to the eye. Whether they were building slipways or forts, they created functional features which we still love and admire to this day. But in the twentieth century that ability to combine function and beauty was lost. By the 1970's when La Collette was being reclaimed and built, concrete, cob walls and rubble were the main materials being used. And if the resulting sea walls and piers are grim when compared with their predecessors, then what subsequently got placed on that newly-created land is even worse. It really is wall-to-wall mediocrity.

The area also houses its own small marina, which was intended as a temporary feature within the newlycreated sea walls, until the infilling was completed. But it was such a success that there were calls to make part of the marina permanent. The design was therefore amended to leave one area unfilled, and it is thanks to that change of heart that we can still see the fine granite exterior walls of the Victoria Pier: a haunting reminder of our inability to get it right anymore.

It has to be said that La Collette was intended to be a functional place – it houses the fuel farm and an industrial estate amongst other things. But functional doesn't necessarily have to be awful. The French seem to manage to make industrial estates that are rather stylish. Things like oil tanks can have an inherent stark beauty, and indeed the oil tanks at La Collette are the most attractive things down there. It is as if the design bar was set at 'naff' from the outset. Various States departments were

Casual visitors to the entrance of this marina might be puzzled that this yacht basin was ever considered such a success. The whole atmosphere today is of a place in decline. It has to be hoped that few visiting yachtsmen actually use this particular facility, because heaven knows what their first impressions of the Island might be. Serried ranks of recycling bins jostle with posts, railings and other clutter that all appear to have been dumped here rather than placed with any sense of aesthetic. Bare flag

poles and the odd bench add a touch of irony to the whole wretched ensemble. A recent tidy up has had little effect, and the new security gates have all the charm of Alcatraz. It is as if someone actually had designed the place to look as awful as possible. And should a hapless visiting yachtsman attempt to make it into the town, then they have to negotiate a bleak slip road created for lorries rather than pedestrians. La Collette Marina may have originated as an afterthought, but everything that has been added since seems to also be an afterthought. Why has there been absolutely no attempt to make something coherent out of the public realm here? It is publicly-owned, has been created out of public funds, and is utter dross in design terms. La Collette is the most slovenly looking area in the Parish. With hindsight, we can now see that La Collette was probably a prelude for greater crimes to come West of Albert.

main post office. Whether this attempted arson had anything to do with the installation of the pillar boxes is a mystery, but it did nothing to delay the inauguration of the new service.

Historic St Helier GOING POSTAL

The new pillar boxes entered into operation on 23rd November 1852 with neither pomp nor ceremony – and fortunately, no spark of arson either. The first four boxes were sited and publicised as follows:

BY Geraint Jennings

n October 1852 in various parts of Town, workers were busy installing blocks of granite for a special purpose. These blocks were going to be the bases for cast iron pillars constructed for the purpose of "receiving letters" – the very first public letter boxes in the British Isles. The workers were under the direction of Mr Watson, a senior official of the General Post Office who had come to Jersey to oversee a number of initiatives aimed at improving the postal service for the benefit of residents. However, it appeared that not everyone was entirely happy with events, and the post office in Saint Helier was the object of an attack, the authors of which, according to an outraged newspaper report, should be actively sought out and severely punished – even as far as meriting, as the newspaper thundered, a sentence of transportation. What was the nature of this heinous attack? During the week beginning 12th October 1852 a person or persons unknown had, during the night, pushed rubbish and matches into the post box at the

The initial scheme of collections was twice a day except Sundays at 6am and noon – apart from days when the mail boat was due, when, instead of the noon collection, the boxes would only be emptied once the arrival of the mail boat had been signalled (from the signal mast at Fort Regent). Although these first public letter boxes in the British Isles started service with no fanfare, the 1952 centenary celebrations were marked on a rather grander scale. The Postmaster General, Earl de la Warr, came over from the United Kingdom (this was, of course, in the days before postal independence) and unveiled a new post box bearing the Royal Cypher of the new reign, E II R, at the end of Parade Gardens on the site of one of the first pillar boxes one hundred years previously. Will we still have any post boxes in our streets when 2052 comes round? Who can guess how communications technology may have advanced yet further by then? Answers on a postcard, please!

BAD WURZACH SERVICE OF REMEMBRANCE At the end of April the Partnerschaft celebrated the 69th Liberation of former internees, joined by six visitors over from Bad Wurzach. On Sunday 27th April approximately 60 individuals attended a Service of Remembrance at the War Tunnels’ Garden of Remembrance, at which the Bailiff, Sir Michael Birt and his wife, the Constable and Deacon Iain MacFirbhisigh were also present. Chairman Clive Armstrong gave an introduction and read out a message from the Mayor of Bad Wurzach, Roland Bürkle. An excellent tea was provided by Barbara of the Pantry Café, and Sir Michael Birt spoke to those in attendance. The Red Cross' new response vehicles, bought as a result of monies raised by the Bad Wurzach and Back cycle challenge last year, were on display. It was so good to see so many new faces in attendance, and it was also an opportunity to see various artifacts on display not previous seen, made by internees during their time in the Schloss at Bad Wurzach.

More information about the survey results can be found under ‘News’ on www.communitysavings.org.je, together with information about the services offered.

VLADYSLAWA (VLADA) MAYO

Wizyta ambasadora oraz przedstaWienie członkóW rady stoWarzyszenia st Helier-poland Ambassador Witold Sobków był gościem honorowym podczas uroczystości Liberation Day na Jersey W dniach 8-9 maja 2014 r. Ambasador Witold Sobków odbył dwudniową wizytę na Jersey. Wyspa ta stała się domem dla kilku tysięcy Polaków, stanowiących według szacunków ok. 35% mieszkańców Jersey. Podczas wizyty Ambasador przeprowadził liczne spotkania z przedstawicielami władz Wyspy oraz lokalnej administracji, w tym z Gubernatorem Porucznikiem będącym reprezentantem Królowej Elżbiety II, gen. sir J. McCollem; z odpowiedzialnym za sądownictwo Baliwem Jersey, sir M. Birtem; z szefem rządu, senatorem I. Gorstem; z ministrem ds. stosunków zagranicznych, sir P. Bailhachem; ze stojącym na czele jednostki administracyjnej St. Helier, tzw. Constable, p. S. Crowcroftem, oraz członkami parlamentu Wyspy. Głównym tematem poruszanym podczas rozmów była sytuacja polskiej mniejszości na Wyspie. Wśród wielu wątków podejmowanych przez Ambasadora została pozytywnie poparta inicjatywa utworzenia Stowarzyszenia St. Helier-Jersey, które ma wspierać i propagować wszelkie poczynania skierowane na zaciśnięcie więzy pomiędzy Polską a Jersey na wszystkich płaszczyznach wzajemnych relacji.

letnie) i trzech synów z poprzedniego małżeństwa. Ma specyficzne poczucie humoru, które często pomaga złagodzić każdy konflikt i obniżyć napięcie w sytuacjach stresowych. Członek zarządu – Barry de la Mare Urodzony na Jersey Barry de la Mare pochodzi z rodziny z wielowiekowym rodowodem. Wychowanek de la Salle College po opuszczeniu szkoły Barry rozpoczął karierę jako prawnik zajmujący się sprawami przenoszenia własności. Po upływie 20 lat w tej branży założył własną firmę zarządzającą nieruchomościami. Jest jednym z założycieli Jersey Old Motor Club (Klub Starych samochodów) ponadto interesuje się historią i genealogią mieszkańców Jersey. Jest wieloletnim członkiem La Société Jersiaise oraz Stowarzyszenia Historii Rodziny wysp Normandzkich. Prywatnie jest wieloletnim przyjacielem i sprzymierzeńcem polaków, co udowodnił wielokrotnie pomagając wraz z żoną w organizacji Polskiego Festiwalu na Jersey. Jego dobroć i ogromna sympatia do polaków oraz żywe zainteresowanie polską historią i kulturą zadają kłam mitowi o rzekomej ignorancji miejscowej ludności. O pozostałych członkach zarządu stowarzyszenia St. HelierPolska w następnym numerze Town Crier.

Przy tej okazji warto przedstawić trochę bliżej członków rady zarządu: Przewodnicząca zarządu – Konsul Honorowa Magda Chmielewska Absolwentka Wyższej Szkoły Bankowości i Biznesu w Olsztynie. Na wyspę przyjechała w 2002 roku na wymianę studencką i do wszystkiego, co zalicza do swoich osiągnięć teraz, doszła mozolna i ciężką pracą. Jest siłą napędową wielu nowatorskich pomysłów wspierających Polonię na Jersey. Dzięki jej staraniom i elokwencji Polacy już nie muszą latać po paszporty do Londynu. Warto wspomnieć, że pani Magda jest nie tylko cenionym politykiem, ale również bardzo cenionym i lubianym na Jersey restauratorem. Wraz ze wspólnikiem z powodzeniem prowadzi Restauracje Tapas „ La Siesta”. Jak każdy zodiakalny Koziorożec twardo stąpa po ziemi i zawsze osiąga cel, nawet, jeżeli wydaje się być nieosiągalny. Wiceprzewodnicący – St. Helier Constable Simon Crowcroft Simon Crowcroft po raz pierwszy został wybrany na to stanowisko w roku 2001. Był deputowanym z tego okręgu od roku 1996 i jest najdłużej urzędującym konstablem w rządzie Jersey. Jest wytrwałym i uzdolnionym w swoich dążeniach politykiem z zasadami, co udowodnił rezygnując z urzędu przewodniczącego komisji ds. uprawnień i procedur administracyjnych po zignorowaniu wyników referendum na temat reform w ustawodawstwie rządu na Jersey w lipcu zeszłego roku. Jest politykiem o szerokich horyzontach na europejską skalę. Otwarcie optuje za integracją i równouprawnieniem wszystkich obywateli Jersey. Prywatnie lubi muzykę, żeglowanie, czytanie i motocykle. Jest żonaty, ma dwie dorastające córki (12 i 18-

POLISH AMBASSADOR’S VISIT TO JERSEY AND INTRODUCTION OF THE MEMBERS OF THE ST HELIER-POLISH SOCIETY Ambassador Witold Sobków was an honorary guest at this year’s Liberation Day celebrations held in Jersey Between the 8th and 9th May 2014 Ambassador Witold Sobków carried out a two day visit to Jersey. The Island has become home to many thousands of Poles who, according to statistics, make up around 3-5% of the Island’s resident population. During the visit, the Ambassador held a number of meetings with representatives of Jersey’s governing body and local administration, which included H.E. the Lieutenant Governor General Sir John McColl; Sir Michael Birt, Jersey's Bailiff, responsible for the Jersey Judiciary; Senator Ian Gorst, Head of Government, Sir Peter Bailhache, minister of international relations; St Helier’s Constable Simon Crowcroft, as well as members of Jersey’s parliament. The main subject of talks was the situation of the Polish Diaspora living on the Island.

Among other topics discussed the initiative of establishing of the St Helier-Polish Society was supported, which aims to support the relationship and encouragement of co-operation between Polish and Jersey communities. An introduction to some of the members of the St Helier-Polish Society: Chairman of the Society – Polish Honorary Consul Magda Chmielewska Magda graduated from the Business School of Business and Banking in Olsztyn, arriving In Jersey in 2002 as an exchange student and from then ‘til now she has achieved everything with hard work. She is behind many innovative ideas supporting the Polish minority in Jersey and it’s thanks to her efforts that Poles no longer need to fly to London for the issuing of their passports. Magda is also a successful restaurateur. Along with a partner she runs a popular tapas restaurant “La Siesta”. President of the Society – Constable Simon Crowcroft First elected as Constable of St Helier in 2001, having been a Deputy of St Helier since 1996, Constable Crowcroft is now the longest-serving Constable in the States. He is a consistent and skilled politician with strong principles which have been proved when he resigned as the Chairman of the Privileges and Procedures Committee position last July following the States' decision to ignore the outcome of the referendum on States reform. He has proved to be an openminded politician with wide political horizons on a high European scale. Simon is a great propagator of integrity and equality of all members of Jersey Society. Member of the Committee – Barry de la Mare Barry de la Mare is Jersey-born, with a history of many generations on the Island. A graduate of De La Salle College, after leaving school in 1965 he worked as a conveyancer for twenty years following which he formed his own property management company. Barry’s main hobby is vintage cars and he was a founder member of the Jersey Old Motor Car Club in 1966. He is also interested in genealogy and has been a member of La Société Jersiaise and the Channel Islands Family History Society for many years. Over the past nine years Barry and his wife Margaret have become close friends with a number of Polish people who have made Jersey their home, and he has been pleased to assist with the Polish Festival on a number of occasions.

arishioners may recall that approval was granted at a Parish Assembly for the construction of a new fit for purpose public toilet to replace Conway Street toilets. As part of the development the Parish will be creating a kiosk on the ground floor ideal for magazines/newspapers, souvenirs, ticket sales, florist and confectionery. On the first and second floors we will have open plan offices available to rent at market value.

Artistic view of the new building

A further Parish Assembly was held on 26th February 2014 where parishioners approved the Parish’s request for additional funding for the new building as the competitive tenders that the Parish received were more than anticipated. The Parish appointed the main contractor, ‘Larsen’, who commenced on site on 7th April 2014. The Contractor is aiming to complete the project within 48 weeks (7th April 2015); however, they are endeavouring to aim to

get the public toilets completed by the end of this year, which is all dependent on weather conditions. We will of course keep parishioners updated on progress.

The Parish would like to remind parishioners of their nearest public toilet whilst the works are being undertaken:

As mentioned work commenced on 7th April, with the site being prepared for the piling equipment to enable the piled foundations to be constructed. Once the piled foundations are in place, work will progress with the construction of the ground beams and concrete slab.

Alternative public toilet facilities

Above: the piling rig drilling into the ground to enable the piled foundations to be constructed

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all businesses, traders and residents in the vicinity of the building’s works for their patience to date, as we appreciate that the work will cause some inconvenience to people with it being a restrictive small site and being located on one of the busiest roads in St Helier. The Contractor is also endeavouring to keep disruption to a minimum.

Liberation Station toilets are open 24 hours a day We would welcome enquires from people who would be interested in renting the office spaces and kiosk. We will bring you regular updates on this project in the Town Crier and on the Parish of St Helier website; however, if you should have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the Parish of St Helier project representative Mr Silvio Alves on 811849 or email silvio.alves@posh.gov.je.

Director of T&E Services, John Stievenard, measures footpath overhang

BRANCHAGE The Connétable is required under Law at all times of the year to ensure that footpaths and roads in St Helier are clear of overhanging branches, plants, shrubs, foliage etc to a height of 8 feet above a footpath and 12 feet above a roadway. Occupiers of land bordering on the public roads of the Parish must trim hedges and branches and cut all overhanging trees so as to give a clearance of 12 feet over main roads and by-roads, and 8 feet over footpaths and must remove any other encroachments, including all cuttings and trimmings, on the public highway. The Parish will be in touch with owners and occupiers where there are infractions and ask that they are dealt with within a certain time period. If this is not acted upon, a fine of up to fifty pounds will be levied. Should you have any questions on Branchage you can contact your local Vingtenier or the Parish Streets Inspector on 811847 for more information. Chef de Police, Danny Scaife; Director of Technical & Environmental Services, John Stievenard, and Vingtenier John Keane
