Original Manifesto

Peter McLinton

Candidate for Deputy St. John, St. Lawrence and Trinity

I am standing for District 3 because, as a born and bred Jersey man, I care deeply about this very special part of Jersey and the people who call it home.

St John, St Lawrence and Trinity each have their own individual character, history and rhythm of life, and yet all three share something valuable: strong communities, parish pride and a real sense of belonging. Those qualities are worth cherishing. They are part of what makes this Island such a remarkable place to live, and they deserve to be respected, protected and given a strong voice.
