Contents Welcometo the March edition of the Town Crier

and our special focus on what makes

St Helier so inviting for people who

enjoy shopping for clothes and shoes. With

more than 70 shops to choose from, St Helier surely

offers more choice than most towns of a comparable

size, with a wide variety of fashion retailers, and with the

big name brands alongside independent outlets. Marek

Jurczyk, who is pictured on our cover checking out the

suits in Roulette Clothing, is organising a fashion show

for local clothing retailers in the Town Hall on

Wednesday 25th March. This ticketed event promises

to be most enjoyable and it will also raise funds for the

local branch of the Stroke Association – the Parish

website www.sthelier.je has details.

The month also sees the prize-giving ceremony in

the Town Hall following the Jersey Eistedfodd’s Spring

Festival of Arts and Crafts, the launch of the Parish’s

2015 Community in Bloom Campaign, and the Miss/Mr

and Junior Miss St Helier competitions when the Parish

will choose its young ambassadors for the year ahead.

All in all March looks like being extremely busy and

before we know where we are Easter will be upon us

and the school holidays. The arrival of longer days and

warmer weather will also be keenly awaited across

the Parish!

The lengthening days are giving us wonderful viewsof Elizabeth Castle

D’Auvergne School visits the Depot andour Recycling Centre As part of its campaign to raiseawareness and increase participation in the kerbside recyclingscheme, the Parish invited a number of schools to view therecycling facilities at the Parish Depot. Municipal ServicesDirector Debra D’Orleans was delighted to receive the first visitfrom the Eco-team at D’Auvergne School on Friday 6th February,and the group was able to see the sorting, processing and balingof the recyclables from the purpose-built viewing corridor withinthe recycling facility. This provides a fantastic view point acrossthe whole building, from which the children were able to see thecardboard travel up the conveyor belt and drop into the balingchamber. Once the chamber’s full of compressed cardboard, thebale is tied off and dropped onto a pallet board and weighed,prior to loading onto the trailer. The children learned that thetrailer is shipped to our recycling partner in France, whodistributes the commodities to the relevant European market tobe used in recycled products such as coffee cup holders orcardboard boxes.

The Eco-team learned a number of interesting facts aboutrecycling such as recycling one aluminium can saves enoughenergy to power your TV for three hours, and for every tonneof recycled newspaper we save 17 trees, and the group wasparticularly surprised to learn that plastic bottles could be madeinto a fleece jacket. The children went away with a supply ofred and blue recycling bags in order to participate in the scheme.

If you wish to set up a visit for your school to the recyclingfacility at the Parish Depot please contact Debra D’Orleans on811703.

St Helier Allotments Situated in Ruette Pinel, locatedin the field to the east of Surville Cemetery, the allotments havebeen a great success, with 33 of them growing a huge range ofplants and vegetables. An area to the north of this location isnow marked out and ready for a further 28 new allotmentholders, and these are now being distributed to those onSt Helier’s waiting list. Whilst this gives an improvement on thecall for more allotments it still does not satisfy the currentwaiting list, and the search for more locations within the Parishcontinues. We are currently looking at an additional site andhopefully, if all goes well, we’ll have more news later in the year.

PARISH MATTERSA round-up of the latest news and events from the Town Hall, Parish departments and our associated clubs and organisations.

Two wheeled parking in Clairvale Road Whether inresponse to the States-approved Transport Strategy or becauseresidents of St Helier wish to beat the ever-increasing trafficcongestion and parking charges, the ownership of both bicyclesand motorcycles appears to be growing. The Parish RoadsCommittee, which has responsibility for traffic-related matterson St Helier by roads, has supported the inclusion of twowheeled parking in its parking policy, acknowledging that up tofive motorcycles or bicycles can be accommodated in one carparking space.

In 2003 a request to create motorcycle parking in ClairvaleRoad, near its junction with Brighton Road, was approved andduly installed. It has operated satisfactorily for the past twelveyears and has been well used, but a recent letter to the Parishsuggests that the facility could be relocated to a differentposition in the street where it would be next to a blank wall,thereby reducing nuisance to adjacent homes and removing itfrom a busy junction.

Before making a decision the Committee would like to hearfrom residents who live in the area as to whether the relocationwould be a positive move or whether the current motorcyclebay should be retained and an additional facility created,thereby doubling the capacity. The plan and photographs belowshow the proposal. If you would like to comment on this matteryou can do so by writing to John Stievenard, Director ofTechnical & Environmental Services at the Town Hall oremailing [email protected]. All comments must bereceived by Friday 27th March. Notices detailing the proposalwill be installed on lamp posts in the vicinity.

CONSTABLE’SComment

NOT THAT AGAIN!

I’m afraid so. The subject of States’ reform has alreadybeen raised during Question Time in the States, with oneSt Helier Deputy pointing out that if the Council of

Ministers’ avowed intention of concentrating most newhousing development in St Helier is realised, the position ofSt Helier’s voters will become even more unfair than it is atpresent. Our Parish is already under-represented in theStates, and increasing the number of electors in St Heliercan only make that position worse. But does it matter? Formany Islanders, the preservation of the ‘Parish System’ in itscurrent form means that every parish Constable must havea seat in the States, even though that makes it impossibleto achieve voter equity. This is presumably why thereferendum last October on ‘keeping the Constables in theStates’ was won by the ‘B campaign’. (St Helier supportedthe ‘A campaign’, albeit by the slimmest of margins.)Equality of votes may not sound important as a concept, but

what it means in practiceis that in Jersey the amount ofrepresentation you have – your influence over yourgovernment – and the amount of attention you can expectfrom your States’ Members, depends on where you live.It has a particularly important effect when it comes to keyvotes in the States whose outcome affects the lives ofSt Helier residents, such as whether the States should payrates. Perhaps Estate Agents should state, alongside ‘quietcountry location’, that the owners of a particular propertybeing offered for sale will enjoy more political power thanif they buy a house in town! Joking aside, this is surely anunacceptable situation for an island which wants tocontinue to develop its international reputation, and it needsto be rectified soon.

Apopular petrol forecourt and service station has reopenedat First Tower, providing resident and passing motoristswith a convenient stop off point to refuel.

‘The Fuel’ is part of the Mansell group of high qualitymotoring businesses, and will offer quality products suppliedby RUBiS. The station has undergone an eighteen monthtransformation since it was bought by The Mansell Collection in2013, whose chairman is Nigel Mansell, including architecturalnods to the iconic Art Deco-style design of the MansellCollection further up St Aubin's Road.

There has been a petrol station on the site at least as far backas the 1920's when there were just two pumps standing road-sidein front of a small cottage. RUBiS has been supplying productsthrough the forecourt for many years.

A great deal of thought and planning has gone into therefurbishment of the garage, including installing state-of-the-artpumps and new storage tanks beneath the forecourt with theproject team overcoming significant engineering challenges.

The completed petrol station has been designed to meet thevery latest national and local guidelines, which have beendrawn up in consultation with petrol station operators acrossthe UK. As the newest petrol station to open in Jersey, ‘TheFuel’ therefore benefits from national expertise as well asabiding by local regulations.

Nick Crolla, Head of Sales & Marketing at Fuel Supplies CILimited said, 'The Fuel’ has been completely transformed fromhow it was before. It has always been an extremely well run andpopular service station, but the redesign of the forecourt will givecustomers a much better experience when they stop off to top up.This is the start of an exciting partnership between RUBiS and theMansells, which will go from strength to strength.

Leo Mansell of The Mansell Collection added, “'The Fuel’ issecond to none in Jersey. It has been mine, and my father Nigel's,dream to create a very modern forecourt, with a Formula 1 styleservice area behind it. We are very proud of what has beenachieved.”

The service area will house part of the Full Service Centre,which is also part of the Mansell group of companies, providingafter-sales care not only for Mitsubishi owners but drivers of allmakes of vehicle.

‘The Fuel’ re-opened just before Christmas and an officiallaunch was held towards the end of January, for customers ofRUBiS and The Mansell Collection. At the launch a competitionwas announced offering RUBiS card holders the chance to win£100 worth of fuel each month, whenever they fill up with 30litres or more of petrol at ‘The Fuel’. At the end of the year, all 12monthly prize draw winners will be entered into a competition towin a brand new Mitsubishi car worth more than £12,000,together with three years' free servicing.

Nick Crolla said, “This is a great competition to rewardcustomer loyalty and it is open to new and existing RUBiS Cardholders. To enter the competition motorists can pick up aRUBiS Card application form from the forecourt kiosk, or ourhead office at La Collette.”

The Fuel sells Premium Unleaded, Super Unleaded andDiesel as well as a full range of complimentary products. Theforecourt is open from 7am to 8pm Monday to Friday, 8am to8pm on Saturdays and 9am to 5pm on Sundays.

According to MarekJurczyk, there are some excellent qualityused clothes to be found here – in hisphotograph he is sporting a Duchampssilk tie which he bought for £4.99, afraction of its new cost. Shopping intown’s charity shops has the other obviousadvantage of benefiting local charities!

the Fashion Show on Wednesday25th March in the Town Hall.

Fashion for me is a possibility ofborrowing something from anotherculture to give it a distinct meaning,without destroying the root of theoriginal culture. So many of us cameto Jersey with our own ‘taste offashion’ and expectations. Thenever-ending journey calledshopping can be as easily made hereas it can be in any town in Europe.We have an amazing opportunity tobuy in St Helier the latest items andthe looks for the season, not only theHigh Street brands, but also luxuryfashions by top designers shops.

Stay fresh, creative. Go andexplore the newer designs and novelmarkets of St Helier.

March for merchants

It's said that traders are always grumbling and that it's likefarmers who are always complaining. come rain or shine. Butthere are also always the complaints of ruthless customers to

be heard: what they want isn't on sale cheaply, in the right sizeor the right colour. It's astonishing to hear the muttering of thosewho say that there's too much choice but that they haven't gotexactly what one would like at the price one would pay. There'ssomething to suit everyone. Well, you can't please everyone, butthere's probably someone else who'd do their best to make aprofit by selling something which would please whoever hasnot received satisfaction. That's how trade works – but one canalways ruin one's reputation. It takes two to make a bargain.

Ihave always found the opening night of any show captivatingand Dance Fusion was no different. The performances arefresh, full of anticipation fuelled by the mixture of the

performers’ nerves and excitement. The families and friends wereequally anticipant, discussing costumes and the effort theirchildren had put into their routine. That’s what I love aboutJersey – everyone says hello and it really creates a communityatmosphere.

Emma Jane’s dance school’s annual show of talentand hard work had entertainment for all. There was arange of styles showcased, from ballet and tap to streetand modern. Of course, the cheerleading group, JerseyRockettes, performed too. “I’m excited and a tadnervous!” said cheerleader Hannah Mundy, just one daybefore opening night. “The older girls who do streetdance are really good, and there are some cute little balletdancers too.”

Indeed, all routines were impressive. The older girlswho have danced for years not only pulled off the fastestpaced, most mind bogglingly brilliant routines, but alsolooked great doing it. I find that you can tell whether aperformance is of a high calibre or not by how much youwant to join in, and I really, really did! As for the youngerdancers, for any toe out of line or any turn that went thewrong way (honestly, there weren’t many!) their smilingfaces and snazzy costumes more than made up for it.

What I loved was the range: the ages of the performers,the styles, and the music varied significantly from routineto routine. Towards the end, there were some more spookynumbers, based around witches and one dance was called

‘The Plague’. They were of an especially high standard and thesedances stood out the most as the mood of the performances wasso sinister.

Dance Fusion certainly lived up to its name. The fusion ofso many styles meant that there was something for everyoneand I thoroughly enjoyed it. Four performances over three daysmeant it may have been difficult to make time to go for some,but I would fully recommend it for next year!

This year the guests were treated to avegetable medley soup (with heart-shapedcroutons), a winter beef casserole withcreamed potatoes and vegetables and, totop it off, Valentine Cupcakes. Studentsworked all day to help prepare the mealfor the 100 plus guests and acted aswaitresses/waiters during the evening.

Eleven pupils from First Tower PrimarySchool have just attended The Diana Award Anti-BullyingAmbassadors Training which is in partnership with theDfESC.

Historic St HelierSANDY SAINT HELIER By Geraint Jennings

Nowadays, with the Town Beachbuilt over and buried underreclaimed land, there's not so

much sign that the Town used to be avery sandy place. Those of us withgardens in Town are occasionallyreminded of how things used to be, aftera storm has sent sand-laden gusts to tearour precious foliage to shreds. In the olddays, before reclamation, when the shorewas so much closer to the centre ofTown, sweeping out the sand wouldhave been a daily chore in households.Many traditional old Jersey houses usedto have sanded floors – one might as wellmake use of what was to hand.

The Town of Saint Helier wasoriginally laid out as a strip along the topof a dune-like ridge running along whereKing Street, Broad Street and QueenStreet are. The land, such as it was,dipped down into the marshland to theNorth and sloped to the shore to theSouth. A town wall was constructed

parallel to the sea running West from theTown Church slightly to the North ofwhere Commercial Street is now. Thiswall was a protection not only againststorms’ tidal surges but mostly from thewindblown sand that continuallythreatened to engulf the Town. Roadnames such as La Rue des Sablions(Sand Street), La Rue des Mielles (theroad of the dunes), La Banque (thesandbank: Conway Street) preserve someof this history; one of the names for theWestern end of Broad Street – La Rued'Égypte – may also refer to the sandynature of this end of Town as it led outinto Les Mielles (the dunes, later to belaid out as The Parade). However, it'spossible this refers to a cluster of Jewishbusinesses in this location.

The shifting sands of time have beena powerful force in our Parish's history –something to remember the next time thefamily's playing with bucket and spadeon our surviving beaches.

St Helier’s glass collection trial, sponsored by Moore Stephens, is being extendedto include the rest of the Parish later this year. This timetable is for residentswho currently participate in the trial only.
