A greener St Helier is a stronger St Helier.

St Helier should be a place where people can breathe, pause and enjoy their surroundings and not just pass through.

Cleaner, greener streets are not just about appearance. They improve mental health, support biodiversity, reduce pollution and create a stronger sense of pride in our community.

I will protect what we have, expand green space and stand firm to ensure Springfield School and the Le Bas site are delivered as new parks, while making our green valleys easier for everyone to reach and enjoy.

As your Constable, I will take a practical, coordinated approach to making St Helier greener, healthier and more liveable for everyone.

 A Greener St Helier

I will work to develop a joined-up Greening St Helier programme, bringing together  the Parish, Government, community groups and local organisations.

This will focus on:

  • Increasing tree planting and urban greenery
  • Improving and protecting existing parks and green spaces
  • Supporting pollinators and biodiversity
  • Greening streets, school areas and public spaces

This is about long-term change — not one-off projects, but a sustained commitment to a greener town.

 Pockets of Nature

Access to nature should be part of everyday life.

I will support the creation and promotion of “Pockets of Nature” across St Helier:

  • Small, accessible green spaces within walking distance
  • Quiet places for rest, reflection and wellbeing
  • Linked routes between parks and green areas

These spaces do not need to be large to make a difference. Even small green corners can support mental health and community connection.

Community Growing & Allotments

Growing food and plants brings people together and supports wellbeing.

I will:

  • Explore pop-up allotments on temporary or unused sites
  • Support community growing spaces across the Parish
  • Increase access to allotments where possible

These initiatives:

  • Help with the cost of living
  • Build skills and confidence
  • Strengthen community connections

Flexible, moveable solutions mean we can use land creatively as the town develops.

 Supporting Biodiversity & Rewilding

Nature needs space to thrive  even in urban areas.

I will support pocket rewilding and biodiversity projects:

  • Allowing selected areas to grow more naturally
  • Creating habitats for pollinators and wildlife
  • Reducing maintenance costs while improving environmental outcomes

This approach complements traditional parks and creates a more resilient and sustainable urban environment.

For me it’s clear:

Greener St Helier means:

  • Streets that feel cared for
  • Spaces where people want to spend time
  • A healthier environment for future generations

This is about practical action, delivered locally, with the community at its heart.
