Mitch was well-known for his work as an Honorary Police Officer, but also for his service to the Jersey Youth Service and his passion for encouraging young people to get the best start in life.

As the Summerland site has, until recently, been home to the States of Jersey Police, Andium Homes say they “saw it as a fitting memorial for such a much-loved and respected community figure”. The development will consist of 74 new homes, including seven three-bedroom town houses, 42 one-bedroom flats and 25 two-bedroom flats.

Mitch’s sons, Christopher and Robert Couriard, said: “We are delighted that Andium Homes has chosen to name the Summerland development in our father’s honour. This is a perfect tribute as he worked tirelessly to help the community during his lifetime, just as this new development will proceed to do in his name.

“The family are eternally grateful to Andium Homes for this fitting accolade. He will forever be part of the island and community he loved.”
