Lindsay Ash
Candidate for Deputy St. Clement
It was Joseph Kennedy who said “When the going gets tough the tough get going “ Well how that was demonstrated during Covid. This was incredibly evident in St Clement where the Community Support Team, Parish Hall Staff and the Honorary Police performed well above the call of duty in helping Parishioners during what were unprecedented times, and it was a privilege to be Deputy with this team alongside me and I thank them.
During my four years tenure in the States, I have served as Assistant Treasury Minister , Assistant Home Affairs Minister ,as well as serving on the Planning Appeals Committee. It has been as Assistant Treasury Minister though that I feel I have achieved the most. My role meant that I was responsible for the Shareholder companies and in Covid they too very much performed above the call of duty .Just as an example Ports of Jersey introduced one of the most comprehensive testing regimes anywhere enabling the Airport to function, Andium froze rents, JT increased speeds free of charge, Jersey Post operated a medicine delivery service and a call and check on vulnerable Islanders during lockdown. It was wonderful to work with these tremendous companies through the pandemic and Jersey is lucky to have them and the staff that work for them .
