Will continue exploring proposals for affordable homes and right-sizing as Chair of St. Martin's Housing Association.
“as Chair of St. Martin's Housing Association I will continue to explore viable proposals for affordable homes and right-sizing.”
Shenton-Stone was re-elected as Connétable of St Martin in June 2026 and remains listed as a committee member of the St Martin's Housing Association (with a separate 'Mrs Karen Stone' recorded as Chairman on the parish website as of July 2025). The broader St Martin affordable-housing agenda is demonstrably active: a 30-home development at Field MN410, La Rue des Buttes — rezoned specifically for affordable housing in the Bridging Island Plan — received planning permission in July 2026 after a successful appeal (Jersey Evening Post, Bailiwick Express, Channel Eye, July 2026), with homes to be managed by Jersey Homes Trust and a component for elderly low-income parishioners via the Sir David Kirch Trust. However, the 2026-2030 Assembly only sat from 19 June 2026, giving fewer than three months for the promise to be acted upon, and no independent reporting specifically links Shenton-Stone's own chairing activity or a new 'right-sizing' proposal to a concrete output in this term; the promise is therefore fairly characterised as in progress rather than delivered or outstanding.
