Election 2008

Having completed my first term in government it has been a great learning experience and a fascinating challenge getting to grips with our local government. Frustrating but rewarding as we shape Guernsey for the future. 

From listening to islanders, I know we want
• a strong economy
• a safe community
• a good social infrastructure
• an effective government
Easy words but they present many challenges exacerbated as our lifestyles become more complex, we expect high standards at less cost, we face many external and global pressures and we want to keep our unique identity.

My priorities in the next term relate to our social well being, our environment, our economy and the supporting infrastructure of our government.

Fundamentally, it's all about:
Generating the income. Providing the services. Controlling the costs. Making it happen.

My key objectives will be:
• to encourage growth and diversification of locally based businesses and developing our local workforce
• to ensure our health, education, and housing provision is appropriate for now and the future
• to get a sustainable resolution to our waste problems
• to develop the vision of the corporate Government Business Plan into a workable action plan
• to foster off island relationships for our benefit
• to keep our public expenditure under control where I can and to monitor closely the effects of the 0-10 tax strategy
Communication and consultation with Islanders is key to achieving success in these objectives.

You have my continuing commitment to work with dedication, determination and common sense to bring about change, where it is most needed, yet retain the charms of Guernsey as a special and unique place to live and work.
