Judy Martin
I have been your Deputy in District One working on your behalf for the past 14 years working with the Constable and Municipality on many issues, including keeping St Helier’s Rates as low as possible.
- Concerns of the Roads Committee and residents inspired me to take the Police Station Debate to the States, NOT to build this in Green Street Car Park. I am still convinced this is the wrong site so the challenge goes on! - Recently I was approached by residents living in the north of Town with concerns that Gas Place and Ann Street Brewery sites are going to be overdeveloped with little parking. - Building high and packing people in does not address housing problems, nor is it a pleasant experience for children. I helped residents form a group who have organised a petition. I also sit on the Harve des Pas Improvement group where speeding and traffic are issues.
