Kerbside recycling plans to be considered again

Further consideration will be given during the coming political term to the introduction of kerbside recycling in St Clement, the newly-elected parish constable has said.

Marcus Troy said that officials would look again at the topic once the new States Assembly had been sworn in.

St Clement and its neighbouring parish of Grouville are now the only two of Jersey's 12 parishes where residents have to take their recycling to designated sites, after kerbside recycling was introduced last year in St Martin.

Mark Labey, who was re-elected on Sunday as the Constable of Grouville, had already indicated that a parish assembly on the topic of recycling would take place following the election.

In April, Labey published a document to assess the advantages and disadvantages of kerbside recycling in Grouville which said that the parish had received a quote for £69,814, subject to review once a month, for the service.

Speaking after his own re-election was confirmed, Troy said: We've got to look at recycling again."

He noted that parishioners had previously considered the topic and agreed to seek more information before proceeding.

"I've already written in the magazine a couple of weeks ago, which comes out next week, that we'll look at that as soon as the new assembly's in," Troy added.
