🎉 Congratulations to Ophelia and Jersey College for Girls! Ophelia and JCG were named the winning speaker and school at our first ever 'Mark My Words' public speaking competition, held in the States Chamber. 40 students from seven of Jersey's secondary schools rose to the challenge, showcasing the power of political public speaking. The judging panel - @deputyrobward, @DeputyCCurtis and @DouglasKruger - praised the high standard across the board, describing the speeches as exceptional, well-crafted and confidently delivered. A huge thank you to all the students and schools who took part.

The town car parks are already rammed on a Saturday. Making them free will just mean more drivers circling round the ring road until a space becomes free, contesting and polluting on the way. A much more effective way of helping retail would be a free bus service on Saturdays.

We are thankful to @StatesAssembly Ministers for providing feedback to our recommendations. This feedback is now on our website jyp.je/campaigns

We were honoured to be invited to the special @StatesAssembly sitting yesterday with the King and Queen. A selection of past members attended and dont they all look so smart? Thanks so much to @bailiffofjersey for the invite and including young people in this historic event.
