KUTTELWASCHER; Jan

Manifesto to follow.

ST. PETER PORT The jewel in the crown would benefit from more municipal power over issues such as parking, signage, traffic management and minor planning applications. Major planning applications should need approval of the Douzaine. A new Douzaine structure on the lines of a Town Council would be a way forward.

ECONOMY & TAXATION Nurturing, supporting and promoting ALL our business sectors would be my priority. Facilitating new business to diversify our economy is essential. This includes supporting “Fred in the shed”. Optimum value in the delivery of public services would need to be achieved before considering the introduction of new taxes or increasing either personal or company taxation. Both need to be competitive for a thriving and growing economy. Guernsey must live within its means.

EDUCATION We must move rapidly to implement the recommendations of the Mulkerrin Report. Excellent standards in reading, writing and arithmetic are essential educational requirements. This process has started. Education must not be allowed to be a political football.

VISION I would work to facilitate a move to a balanced budget through the prudent management of public funds. This is achievable with self-discipline and strong leadership. Delivering optimum results at minimum cost has been my goal during the last 4 years. The States has some way to go in the area of openess and transparency. I will be judged on my past performance and offer more of the same in the next term.
