Original Manifesto

Richard Honeycombe

Candidate for Connétable in St. Ouen

Dear Parishioner

I was asked some months ago by a well respected Parishioner whether I would put my name forward for Conn֑etable should Richard Buchanan decide not to seek re-election. I contacted several Parishioners to ascertain their thoughts, all of which were positive and I am therefore honoured to put myself forward for the position of Connetable of St Ouen.

The role of Connetable is as important now as it has ever been, together with how the Parish functions, it is a system that has been in place for hundreds of years. We must all fight to preserve Jersey’s heritage and traditions in order that they are not eroded by Government intervention towards further Centralisation.
