Has anybody got anything to say about this lady?  I must admit that I don't know much about her work myself

I’m standing because I believe that the Island needs a broader representation in the States Chamber.

It must include men and women from all sorts of backgrounds, who are capable of meeting the challenges that are required of the position, be those challenges at Parish, or Island, level.

I have worked very closely for a number of years within St Lawrence, in a policing, social and cultural aspect and now feel confident that I have gained the skills, knowledge and understanding of the Parish system necessary to stand me in good stead to represent the Parishioners of St Lawrence as a Deputy in the States Chamber.

What's the most important issue for your district?
We are at risk of high-density development in the south of the Parish. Although this provides the social housing required of all Parishes, it also impacts greatly on our infrastructure, environment and on the quality of life both for the new occupants and their neighbours.

These developments subsequently cause additional traffic problems; many areas are not safe for pedestrians or cyclists.

In other parts of the Parish, I have concerns about the lack of adequate public transport as in some areas there is no bus service at all.

Regretfully, in 2006, we still have areas of St Lawrence that are not connected to mains water.
 
CHIEF MINISTER: The place to make the decision of who to vote for as Chief Minister is in the States Chamber. If elected I will make an informed decision there, based on the information put forward by all candidates at the time.

We hear it all the time, so just in the States for a job.  (Well thats the impression I get).

This lady, according to the reasons she has given as to her role in the states as Deputy. Having read what she has to say on here. It seem's her only interest is in her parish of St Lawrence. Not a lot going for the rest of us has she? Sorry if she feels she's worth the salary she is getting,How serious is she? and yet has the voting right in Island affairs which affects all Islanders.

What has men or women got to do with an election campagne, this is just waffle.  For £43,000.00 a year you need to handle the challenges

St Lawrence is an easy parish to live in.  Hardly the middle of St Helier.

Plenty of empty over grown green fields though.

Try living by the Tunnel.

Bicycles?

Regretfully, in 2006, we still have areas of St Lawrence that are not connected to mains water.

But they still fetch £ 1/2 Million plus.

The foregoing is  rather unfair to Deidre Mezbourian. She's actually quite "Green" and has a developed social conscience. Check out her voting record over time.

I think if she gets elected as Constable, that will be a better fit for her than Deputy. Apart from anything else, her husband used to be a hang glider pilot, so that counts for something with me!

[Jason the Maverick]

I think her husband is an Honory Copper

Very GREEN.

Agree with JTM, transparently self-serving (I hope she proves my words wrong).

I am interested to hear your views on the Dandara debacle at Goose Green and the recent flooding that occured in the Perquage and Sandybrook.

I concur with the recent comments that the Constable seat would seem more appropriate.
