Election platform:
I was approached by a number of parishioners to stand. I have always lived in the beautiful parish of St Clement. If elected through regular assemblies and meetings with parishioners I would be able to put forward to the States of Jersey their concerns on major and parish issues that would affect St Clement and the parishioners. I want what is best for the parish and its parishioners and if elected I would give 110% to the role of Constable.
Proposers: Alan Heard, Nicholas Blake, Paul Leggett, Kenneth Hill, Susan Pace, Alan Winch, Marilyn Breen, Avanos Biney, Gerald Vautier, Elizabeth Vautier.
Nomination speech:
Proposing Edgar Wallis, Alan Heard said that he had come to live in the Island 13 years ago and was married to Karen who was born in the Island. Mr Wallis was a supporter of the honorary system and had served as a Constable’s Officer and Vingtenier and was currently a Centenier who was interested in tackling problems in relation to speeding and youth issues. His father had been a former Mayor of Weymouth for 40 years and so he was already familiar with the workings of local government, albeit in another area.
