1. Let’s dance for longer
I would like to see drinking laws extended in nightclubs to give people more of an experience of a nightclub. It’s been proven by events that a closing time at 04:00 does not have a big knock-on effect on Jersey streets.

I would feel safer if people had time to compose themselves if clubs stopped selling drinks at 02:00, but stayed open until 04:00, which would give an extra two hours to enjoy the atmosphere.
2. Seaside safety for one and all
More safety procedures and signs should be on display around the island, raising more awareness to people, as I don’t feel it is strongly presented.
With the Island being surrounded by water, it’s of big concern to me that islanders and tourists don’t understand the currents and the effects our tides can have. It would stop any unnecessary deaths or accidents happening in Jersey waters if those risks were clearly signalled by the beaches.
3. Make Jersey (government) great again!
I would like to see more of a younger demographic within the government to help fight for what people want, instead of what they assume we want. I feel more diversity will give people more confidence to vote and stand up to present their ideas to make Jersey great again!

4. Help start-ups get started
I think that more support should go to people that are starting up a business, instead of hitting them with extra financial problems. It would give them more of a chance to progress rather than stopping them from progressing in the future and possibly expand.

Taxes and social security payments on employment are sky-high for employers, which puts many people off with starting up on their own.
5. R-e-s-p-e-c-t for Island authorities
I would like to see people showing the law more respect as well as a better communication between all ages and the legal departments. I feel there is no respect from either side at times and I would like to see a better relationship between all, as I feel a community should not be fighting with each other when we want the same outcome. We should work together and provide better care for people on the Island.
