Candidate will establish a Special Quiet Lounge drop-in mental health service monitored by professionals, due to start in September.
No recorded vote yet“In the Parish we are on the cusp of setting up a Special Quiet Lounge drop-in service monitored by professionals. this is due to start in September.” — Marcus O'Donnel Troy, 2022-2026 election manifesto
The promise, documented verbatim on vote.je from Troy's 2022 manifesto, described a 'Special Quiet Lounge drop-in service monitored by professionals' as imminent and 'due to start in September' (almost certainly September 2022). Exhaustive searches across Bailiwick Express, the Jersey Evening Post, gov.je, stclement.je, and vote.je returned no independent reporting, official announcement, or parish record confirming the service ever launched during the 2022–2026 term. Without corroborating evidence either confirming delivery or explicitly recording failure, a firm delivered or outstanding verdict cannot be responsibly assigned.
Candidate will set up a mobile mental health talking service at strategic locations across the parish.
No recorded vote yet“To run with this with our Community Police and parish services and I are looking at setting up a mobile talking service, to set up in strategic locations across the Parish.” — Marcus O'Donnel Troy, 2022-2026 election manifesto
The promise to establish a mobile mental health talking service at strategic locations across St Clement, run in conjunction with the Community Police, was made on Marcus Troy's 2022 vote.je candidate profile but no independent evidence of its delivery was found across the full 2022–2026 Assembly term. Troy's own 2026 re-election profile on vote.je listed his term's achievements — including a Community Hub at Clos Mourant — but made no reference to a mobile talking service or any Community Police mental health outreach initiative. No reporting from Bailiwick Express, gov.je, stclement.je, BBC Jersey, or any other authoritative Jersey source corroborated delivery of this specific commitment.
Candidate will add more diverse community activities in the parish during winter.
No recorded vote yet“We are adding more diverse interests in the winter.” — Marcus O'Donnel Troy, 2022-2026 election manifesto
The promise appeared verbatim on Troy's 2022 vote.je manifesto page. His own 2026 re-election candidate profile on vote.je listed several parish achievements during the 2022–2026 term — including a St Clement Community Hub at Clos Mourant and a parish market — but made no specific reference to new diverse winter activities. No independent Jersey sources (JEP, Bailiwick Express, BBC Jersey, ITV Channel Television, or stclement.je event listings) were found that reported on a structured new winter programme being introduced during the term, making it impossible to confirm or deny delivery against this specific commitment.
Candidate will resume and complete a parishioner consultation on traffic, speed limits and parking in the parish.
No recorded vote yet“We have been working for months in collaboration with the Traffic consultants in IHE on a comprehensive look at all these matters within the Parish and were about to go to Parishioners consultation but have been halted during this election process.” — Marcus O'Donnel Troy, 2022-2026 election manifesto
The parishioner consultation on speed limits—conducted in partnership with the Infrastructure & Environment (IHE) department—was completed during the 2022-2026 term, with its results implemented on 22 March 2023 when new reduced speed limits came into force on 14 roads in St Clement. Connétable Troy confirmed in the Jersey Evening Post (March 2023) that the consultation and speed-limit changes were part of his manifesto commitment, delivered working with IHE. However, no independent evidence was found of a similarly completed parishioner consultation outcome specifically addressing parking arrangements in the parish, which was also cited in the original promise alongside traffic and speed limits.
Candidate will address the Parish Hall's regulatory shortcomings and develop the Parish Estate to generate more income.
No recorded vote yet“The Parish Hall is underused but is also currently not up to various regulation standards. This must be addressed and we can sort this out and come out with a Parish Estate that generates more income and is future proof for years to come.” — Marcus O'Donnel Troy, 2022-2026 election manifesto
During the 2022–2026 term, Connétable Troy oversaw a substantive energy-compliance overhaul of St Clement Parish Hall — replacing the heating system with an air-source heat pump, adding rooftop solar panels and EV chargers, and carrying out insulation work — reported by the Jersey Evening Post and Island FM in June 2026 as delivering expected annual savings of around £3,000. However, no independent evidence emerged of broader regulatory compliance work (e.g. disability access or fire-safety standards) that the manifesto promise explicitly referenced. On the income-generation side, the main estate initiative — selling the Grade 4 Listed former St Christopher's School building to fund parishioner facilities — was only put to a Parish Assembly on 30 June 2026 (already into the new 2026–2030 term), with parishioners voting to sell in early July 2026 per BBC/Yahoo News reporting; the sale itself remained outstanding. The two elements of the promise were therefore only partly delivered within the assessed term.
Candidate will oppose large-scale developments and defend parish green fields against future Island Plan proposals.
No recorded vote yet“we must be diligent moving forward as there will be a new 10-year plan in future. We are completely against large scale developments and will diligently defend our precious green fields going forward and are currently working with States depts., to identify who owns any fields and glass houses in the Parish to keep a watchful eye on their intentions.” — Marcus O'Donnel Troy, 2022-2026 election manifesto
Troy actively opposed St Clement field rezoning under the 2022 Bridging Island Plan before his term began, and those three fields were subsequently removed from the plan (JEP, February 2022). During the 2022–2026 term, no large-scale housing development on parish green fields was approved, consistent with the promise; however, a Jersey Electricity solar farm on two agricultural fields in St Clement received 'narrow approval' in 2022 and was switched on in May 2025 (JEP, May 2025), representing a form of green-field development that was not prevented. No independent evidence was found that Troy completed the promised parish-level survey of field and glasshouse ownership in collaboration with States departments, and the key test — a new Island Plan — was deferred to 2027–2028, meaning the central commitment remains unresolved as the term ended.
