Inna Gardiner

Dear Parishioner,

I am standing because I believe that I can help make Jersey a place which is more inclusive and which empowers all residents. I also believe that I can contribute positively to the politics of the Island which is my permanent home. I want to represent the district that I live in.

Working for St. Helier:

- Achieve a fairer deal for St Helier – this would include trying to end St Helier paying for services which other parishes do not pay for, i.e. maintenance of parks and children’s playgrounds. - Secure funds to improve community services and reinvigorate public spaces. - Improve pedestrian safety in St Helier – this would include supporting the Constable’s proposed traffic calming measures and building pavements in specific areas. - Develop community hubs -with clubs and social groups for all ages, in highly populated areas like La Pouquelaye, West of town and First Tower, to decrease the isolation experienced by young parents, the elderly, the disabled and other vulnerable groups.
