Maison du Gouvernement de Jersey

La maison du Gouvernement de Jersey (en jersiais : La Maîson du Gouvèrneux, en anglais : Government House), est la résidence officielle du lieutenant-gouverneur de l'île de Jersey. Présentation L'édifice est situé dans la paroisse de Saint-Sauveur sur les hauteurs de la ville de Saint-Hélier. La maison du gouvernement est également utilisée pour des fonctions cérémonielles, des réceptions et des rencontres avec les dignitaires et chefs d'États étrangers. elle est également la résidence officielle du duc de Normandie (actuellement le roi Charles III du Royaume-Uni) en tant que chef des États de Jersey lors d'un séjour dans l'île Anglo-Normande. La maison du Gouvernement changea plusieurs fois de lieu. Au Moyen Âge, le gouverneur résidait au château de Mont-Orgueil. Par la suite, au XVIIIe siècle le gouvernement s'installa dans le manoir de La Motte, mais lors de la bataille de Jersey, les forces françaises capturèrent le gouverneur dans ce manoir. En 1803, le recteur de l'église Saint-Sauveur, le révérend Philippe Le Breton, a acheté le terrain sur lequel est située l'actuelle maison du Gouvernement. Il y fit construire une maison de famille. Celle-ci a été achetée par l'armateur François Janvrin en 1814 qui a démoli la maison familiale et a construit à la place une petite villa de deux étages, nommant cette maison "Belmont". Il a apporté de l'acajou d'Amérique du Sud dans ses navires qui fut utilisé pour garnir l'intérieur de l'édifice y compris l'escalier principal, qui reste une caractéristique notable de la maison. En 1822, le lieutenant-gouverneur a négocié l'échange de l'ancienne résidence du gouverneur à Saint-Hélier et le domaine du Pré au Roi situé dans la paroisse de Saint-Clément contre la propriété Belmont et ses terres attenantes. Depuis, la propriété Belmont est devenue la résidence de tous les lieutenants-gouverneurs de Jersey. Au cours du XIXe siècle fut ajoutée une porte cochère à l'entrée principale de l'édifice. Le domaine fut agrandi avec l'ajout de l'ancienne Ruette du Sacrement, qui conduisait à l'église Saint-Sauveur. Cette voie a été achetée en 1810, et remplacée, en tant que lieu de passage, par la nouvelle route de la colline du Gouverneur (en anglais : St Saviour's Hill et en jersiais : Le Mont du Gouvèrneux). Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la maison du Gouvernement a été utilisée comme résidence par le général von Schmettow (en), commandant allemand pour des îles anglo-normandes.

HM Prison La Moye

HM Prison La Moye is a mixed-use prison on the island of Jersey. La Moye is currently Jersey's only prison, and is situated within the boundaries of the Vingtaine de la Moye. It is operated by the Jersey Prison Service, part of the Department of Home Affairs. The prison was opened in the mid-1970s, and originally built to house 150 inmates. Because La Moye is the island's only jail, it has to provide accommodation for men, women and vulnerable prisoners. The young offenders wing was closed due to no funding. Consequently, there are four distinctive areas of the prison which have been set aside for each category of inmate. Facilities The prison has an active education programme and all prisoners are encouraged to participate. Prisoners are usually assessed to determine their level of education within a short time of arriving at La Moye. Inmates can study both academic and vocational qualifications. La Moye also has a library which was opened in November 2007. Overcrowding concerns In July 2005, a report from HM Inspector of Prisons stated the prison had 172 inmates, with capacity for 184. This led to concerns about possible overcrowding at the prison. In November 2007, Jersey's Home Affairs Minister Wendy Kinnard expressed fears that Jersey had a higher pro rata prison population when compared to other European countries of a similar size. She called for alternative punishments to be introduced to ease pressure on the prison. Modernisation and wing renaming In 2023, as part of an ongoing modernisation programme at HM Prison La Moye, the prison’s original A–G wings were demolished. These were replaced by newer facilities H, J, K, and L wings, which were subsequently renamed in honour of notable Jersey citizens who served during World War I and World War II. J Wing was renamed Journeaux Wing, after a Royal Navy sailor. K Wing became Kendal Wing, in honour of a sailor who served aboard HMS Indefatigable. L Wing was renamed Lugard Wing, after an Army sergeant. H Wing, the women's unit, was designated Hogarth Wing, commemorating two nurses who served in the Second World War. According to then-Governor Susie Richardson, the renaming formed part of a broader effort to "deinstitutionalise the environment" within the prison. A new administration block was also opened during the same period and dedicated to Len Norman, former Minister for Home Affairs in the States of Jersey. Notable inmates Inmates of La Moye Prison have included: John Hervey, 7th Marquess of Bristol, British aristocrat and businessman Curtis Warren, English gangster, subsequently transferred to HMP Belmarsh See also Guernsey Prison Isle of Man Prison References External links Jersey Prison Service Prison Me No Way information on La Moye Prison's Young Offenders Unit HMI Report 2006

Saint Martin (Jersey)

Saint Martin (Jèrriais: St Martîn) is een van de twaalf gemeenten op het Kanaaleiland Jersey. De gemeente heeft een oppervlakte van 10,3 km². Vroeger werd de gemeente "Saint Martin le Vieux" genoemd om het te onderscheiden van de huidige gemeente Grouville, dat namelijk vroeger "Saint Martin de Grouville" werd genoemd. St. Martin is de enige gemeente op Jersey die het bestuur niet vanuit een gemeentehuis voert. Saint Martin heeft een “openbaar huis” (Engels: Public Hall) met een vergaderzaal voor de gemeenteraad. Bezienswaardigheden In Saint Martin ligt Gorey, een van de drie grootste havens van Jersey; deze zijn: Saint Helier; Saint Aubin; Gorey. De hunebedden bij Le Couperon en Faldouet behoren tot de prehistorische overblijfselen in de gemeente. “La Pouquelaye de Faldouet”staat op het tien pence muntstuk van Jersey. Het bracht Victor Hugo inspiratie voor zijn gedicht Nomen, numen, lumen dat hij in 1855 gedurende zijn verblijf op Jersey schreef. De rots bekend als Le Saut Geffroy, of Geoffroy's Leap, werd, naar de verhalen, vroeger gebruikt voor executies. Veroordeelde misdadigers werden daar in zee geworpen. Volgens de folklore, werd een man met de naam Geffroy veroordeeld om ter dood gebracht te worden door hem in zee te werpen. Hij overleefde echter en hij klom terug de klif op. Toen er een discussie ontsprong over deze situatie en er twee kampen ontstonden, sprong Geffroy zelf opnieuw. Ditmaal overleefde hij het niet. Le Saut Geffroy is nu eigendom van de “National Trust for Jersey”. Het kasteel van “Mont Orgueil” overheerst de kleine haven en het dorp Gorey, op Jersey. Het kasteel diende als gevangenis totdat er in St. Helier in de 17de eeuw een vervanging kwam. Bekende gevangen van de Britten waren William Prynne en John Lilburne. Tot de bouw van het “Elizabeth Castle” bij Saint Helier in het begin van de 17de eeuw was Mont Orgueil de residentie van de Gouverneur van Jersey. De immense pier bij St. Catherine is het overblijfsel van een havenproject dat door de Britse regering werd begonnen in de 19de eeuw, later werd dit project gestopt. Het is nu zeer populair bij vissers. Taal In St. Martin wordt veel Jèrriais met een onderscheidend accent gesproken. Het gebied rondom Faldouet had vroeger een eigen dialect genaamd Faldouais. Een opmerkelijk kenmerk van dit dialect was de uitspraak van de /r/ als een /z/. Ondanks dat het Faldouais dialect verdwenen is, zijn er veel geschriften bewaard. Wetenswaardigheden Edmund Blampied, een artiest, werd geboren in Ville Brée op 30 maart 1886. Buurtschappen of Vingtaines De gemeente is als volgt verdeeld in buurtschappen: La Vingtaine de Rozel La Vingtaine de Faldouet La Vingtaine de la Quéruée La Vingtaine de l'Église La Vingtaine du Fief de la Reine De Ecréhous horen bij de gemeente St. Martin. De gemeente bestaat uit één kiesdistrict en kiest één afgevaardigde in de Staten van Jersey. Demografie Referenties Jersey Folk Lore, John H. L'Amy, Jersey 1927 Externe links St Martîn

La Collette Power Station

La Collette Power Station is the main power station for Jersey, and is now the main control centre for the Channel Islands Electricity Grid. It is operated by Jersey Electricity (JE). Under normal circumstances the power generation facilities served as an emergency supply in case of power interruption, however the failure of undersea cables in 2012 temporarily returned La Collette's role to full-time generation. The States of Jersey's waste-to-energy incinerator was built next to La Collette and shares its water supply and chimney. History The power station was commissioned in 1966 to relieve Queen’s Road, which by then was struggling to keep up with demand. It was initially based on Mirrlees diesel engines and Parsons steam turbines. In 1991 two Sulzer 16ZA40S diesel engines were installed replacing the older Mirrlees engines. In 2012 the last Mirrlees 5MW diesel engines were decommissioned and replaced by two newer and more efficient 11MW Sulzer engines. In 1985 a 55MW supply cable to France was installed to access low carbon imported power. A second 90MW cable was installed in 2000. With the increase in imported power, parts of the La Collette plant were decommissioned. In 2012, the 1985 cable came to end of its working life and was taken out of service, La Collette was re-mobilised to full generating capacity to supplement the limited imports from just one interconnector for two and half years until September 2014 when the installation of a third cable to France restored full capacity and La Collette was once again stood down to standby mode. The power station also supports the neighbouring energy-from-waste (EfW) plant since it opened in March 2011 by sharing its infrastructure with the government-owned facility. This includes two flues in the power station’s chimney, sea-water cooling, gas oil supply and storage facilities and, very importantly, water from a reverse-osmosis plant that produces the ultra-clean water necessary for use in the boilers to produce steam. Up to 8MW of electricity produced by the EfW plant is sold back to Jersey Electricity and provides further diversification of generation sources. Specification Based on figures in a JE leaflet the La Collette power station can produce around 79 MW. La Collette power station contains: 4 Sulzer Diesel 16ZA40S engines producing 11 MW each (two installed 1991, two 2012) 1 Sulzer Diesel 8ZAL40S engine producing 5MW (installed 2018) 1 Rolls-Royce Olympus gas turbine producing 30 MW (installed 2003) Two of the five Sulzer engines were bought second hand from Saudi Arabia in early 2012, and were installed as part of a £9 million deal.

Jersey General Hospital

Jersey General Hospital in Saint Helier is the only hospital on the island of Jersey. It has 219 beds. Medical students are placed at the hospital by the Wessex Deanery of Health Education England. History It was originally a poorhouse. The foundation stone was laid in 1765 but the building was requisitioned by the military in 1779 as there was no barracks on the island. It was used as a hospital poorhouse from 1793. The building was largely destroyed by fire in 1859. Until 1868, when St Saviour's Hospital was opened, it also served as a lunatic asylum. There were plans to replace it with a single-site facility at Overdale, costed at £804 million; however, in November 2022 it was reported that the plans were now for a hybrid General Hospital spread across the existing Gloucester Street site, adjacent land at Kensington Place, and Overdale. Facilities Rheumatology Maternity Special care baby unit (SCBU) Emergency Department Paediatrics Assisted reproduction Dermatology Blood donation Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Endoscopy Cardiology Dental Dietetics Pharmacy Renal Joint replacement Memory Neurology Occupational therapy (OT) Ophthalmology Orthoptics Pain clinic Speech and language therapy Intensive care unit (ICU) Radiology For specialised treatment that is not available in Jersey, patients are transferred to hospitals in Guernsey and the United Kingdom.

La Mare de Carteret High School

La Mare de Carteret High School was a high school on the island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands, located in the Castel parish. The school is expected closed in 2025 due its rebuilding costs and had stopped accepting Year 7 pupils, since September 2023. Students will attend Les Varendes High School instead. In February 2016, the school received a validation report from Education Scotland, where it was rated as "very good" in all but one quality indicator. This is in contrast to the deficient performance of the school in earlier years, prior to the ex-head teacher's retirement in 2012. Students have asserted challenges they face in comparison to other regional schools and pushed back against its merger with Les Varendes High School for sixth form, citing lack of sufficient facilities and the decaying structure of the building as two main concerns. History When the new academic year started in September 2009, the last remaining students of St. Peter Port Secondary school beginning their GCSEs were transferred to La Mare de Carteret High School. Joining students in their transfer was Ken Wheeler, prior headteacher at St. Peter Port, who replaced Phillip White as the headteacher of La Mare in September 2009. In February 2012, Ken Wheeler retired from his position as headteacher after increased pressure concerning unsatisfactory GCSE standards at the school, however a spokeswoman for the school asserted that his decision was due to health problems. Geoff Cowley, initially brought in as School Improvement Partner while the school was under review by the Guernsey education board, became Interim Headmaster following the leave of Ken Wheeler. In April 2012, Vicky Godley was appointed head of the school and served at La Mare until September 2020. Pathways Students from La Mare de Carteret can choose to continue learning at the Guernsey College of Further Education or the Sixth Form Centre when they leave school.
