Arlene Maltman

Deputy for St Mary, St Ouen and St Peter · Independent

Arlene Maltman

Arlene Maltman was first elected to the States Assembly in June 2026 as Deputy for St Mary, St Ouen and St Peter. She sits as a back-bench member this term, and has served on the Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Scrutiny Panel, the Planning Committee, and as a States Commissioner on the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission.

Her 2026 campaign focused on housing, rural connectivity, parish identity and opportunity for young Islanders. She pledged to support the building of affordable homes designed sensitively for the rural landscape, and to push for planning processes to be made simpler and faster for individuals and small businesses. She committed to campaigning for a hopper bus linking the three parishes and for expanded cycle paths to ease commuting. She also pledged to work alongside the Connétables to ensure the parish and honorary system has a clear voice in the States Assembly, and to campaign for digital and financial skills to be taught in Jersey schools and for action to close the gender pay gap and widen opportunities for women.

Before entering politics, Maltman pursued a career as a competitive surfer, winning a European Championship title. She subsequently studied Communication Studies in California and worked in marketing in New York and Boston before returning to Jersey to work in the local private and public sectors.

Attendance

Turnout in the States Assembly — 2026–2030 Assembly

The States Assembly records a reason against every non-vote, so being ill, off-island, on parental leave or barred by a declared interest can be told apart from simply not turning up. Absences with an accepted reason are removed from both sides of the rate rather than held against the member.

5 votes in 2026–2030 Assembly so far — fewer than the 10 needed before this scorecard will publish a participation rate. The record to date:

Manifesto

Promises, and how they voted — 2026–2030 Assembly

Grouped by policy area. Each promise carries the recorded States Assembly votes that test it, and whether this member voted to deliver — open any vote for the motion and the reasoning. A vote counts against a promise only where it plainly contradicts it; where a member voted against one particular measure but the breach is arguable, the vote is shown and set aside rather than counted. Where no recorded vote bears on a promise, an AI delivery verdict assesses progress against the public record.

Housing & Planning

No recorded States Assembly vote bears on this area yet.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Candidate will support building affordable homes sensitive to the rural landscape for parishioners.

    “We need to build affordable homes for parishioners, utilising good design and architecture that is sensitive to the landscape and rural context, creating connected and inclusive communities.”

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progressmedium confidence

    Deputy Maltman was elected on 7 June 2026 and the new Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, leaving only approximately three and a half months before this assessment. Within that short window she secured membership of the Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Scrutiny Panel — which independently examines government housing and planning policy — and a seat on the Planning Committee, which considers significant planning applications including those in rural parishes; both roles are directly aligned with her manifesto commitment to support design-sensitive affordable housing for parishioners. No independent reporting or States records surfaced evidence of a specific proposition, speech, or action by Maltman on rural affordable housing beyond these role appointments, reflecting the brevity of the term rather than inaction.

  • No recorded votedirectional

    Candidate will push for planning processes to be made easier and quicker for individuals and small businesses.

    “Planning must work better for individuals and small businesses, making it easier and quicker to make sensible minor changes.”

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictIn progressmedium confidence

    Deputy Maltman was elected on 7 June 2026 and the new Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, giving her fewer than four months in office by the assessment date. She has positioned herself on the two most relevant bodies — the Planning Committee and the Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Scrutiny Panel — and stated publicly (via LinkedIn, July 2026) that her roles reflect her passion for 'ensuring a fair, cost effective planning system'. No proposition or independent evidence of a specific Maltman-driven initiative to simplify planning for individuals and small businesses has been found yet, but her committee placements represent a credible structural step toward pursuing the promise.

    “I will campaign for greater digital and financial skills to be taught in schools, so that young Islanders are able to seize future opportunities.”

    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Maltman was elected on 7 June 2026 and the 2026-2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, giving her fewer than four months in office by the assessment date. No evidence was found of any proposition lodged, written question submitted, ministerial engagement, or public campaigning by Maltman specifically on digital and financial skills in Jersey schools. She joined the Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Scrutiny Panel rather than the Children, Education and Home Affairs Scrutiny Panel, placing her outside the committee most relevant to this promise. The promise therefore remains unactioned as of October 2026, though the short timeframe means this reflects absence of recorded activity rather than a definitive failure.

Infrastructure & Environment

    Candidate will campaign for a hopper bus connecting the three parishes and expanded cycle paths.

    “I will campaign for a hopper bus linking the three parishes with the Enid Quenault Centre, alongside expanded cycle paths to make commuting easier.”

    Infrastructure And TransportParish And Local Government
    No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence

    Deputy Maltman was elected on 7 June 2026 and has been in office for fewer than four months as of the assessment date. No evidence was found of any proposition, written question, ministerial lobbying or formal scrutiny work specifically directed at securing either a dedicated hopper bus for the three parishes or expanded cycle paths; she has, however, joined the Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Scrutiny Panel (confirmed by the Jersey Evening Post, July 2026), which covers transport, giving her a relevant institutional platform. LibertyBus Route 10, running from St Mary and St Peter via Jersey Airport to the Enid Quenault Health Centre, launched in May 2025 — more than a year before her election — meaning the closest existing service pre-dates and cannot be attributed to her campaigning. The short window in office means the absence of progress should not be read as a failure, but no concrete steps towards the promise have yet been publicly recorded.

    Candidate will work with the Connétables to ensure the parish/honorary system voice is heard in the States Assembly.

    Deputy Arlene Maltman was elected on 7 June 2026 and the new Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, giving her fewer than four months in office by the assessment date of 5 October 2026. Her manifesto stated she would work with the Connétables to ensure the parish and honorary system's voice was heard in the Assembly, but no independent reporting or official States records surfaced any specific initiative, joint statement, proposition, or formal collaboration with the Connétables to advance this goal. Hansard from 14 July 2026 shows she was appointed to the Planning Committee alongside several Connétables, which reflects normal Assembly committee work rather than a targeted effort to fulfil this particular promise; no further evidence of dedicated action on this commitment was found.
