Neil Inder

The manifesto reaches beyond routine constituency concerns, identifying St Sampson's Harbour and Leale's Yard as focal points for economic growth and committing to pursue infrastructure and housing through STSB and the Property Portfolio. The connecting vision is economic development on the eastern seaboard, anchored by the Guernsey Development Agency's objectives, though the manifesto does not extend to fiscal reform, constitutional change or a cross-committee programme.

Past delivery is described with specific figures, including a £12.5m government investment and a £37m total project cost for fibre rollout, and 75 jobs created. Forward pledges are largely directional: housing priority for local residents, support for digitalisation, and a conditional approach to Leale's Yard are stated without figures, timelines or named mechanisms. The Leale's Yard pledge includes a conditional exit point, but no financial parameters define what 'a fair deal' would look like.

The manifesto is grounded in delivered projects rather than untested proposals, and the Leale's Yard pledge sets a conditional exit rather than promising delivery, with no savings figure attached to the digitalisation commitment. The housing priority pledge would require changes to allocation policy and depends on other committees and a States majority. No revenue source or saving is named for the efficiency drive or Property Portfolio ambitions.

The Scorecard records Inder as President of the Development and Planning Authority. The pledges concerning Griffiths Yard development and infrastructure sit in the same subject area as that role. The ambition to seek the Presidency of STSB and a Property Portfolio remit on Policy and Resources are stated as intentions in the manifesto; the Scorecard records neither role. The housing priority policy, the efficiency drive and the Leale's Yard review depend on other committees and a States majority of 20 of 38.

The manifesto contains a substantial body of narrative around past delivery, which carries specific detail. Forward-looking sections on keyworkers, civil servants and economic growth contain several general statements of principle without accompanying commitments, for example the assertion that 'all employees are cogs in the wheels of any machine' and the closing note about flying 'the flag for common sense over ideology'. These passages do not carry specific pledges.
