Deputy for St Brelade · Independent
Will use legal and planning expertise to improve the living and working environment for St Brelade parishioners.
No recorded vote yet“If elected, I will use my legal and planning knowledge and political experience to continue striving for improvements in the living and working environment of St Brelade Parishioners” — Mary-Rose (Moz) Scott, 2022-2026 election manifesto
Deputy Scott actively applied her legal and planning background to St Brelade matters throughout the 2022–2026 term: she held regular constituency drop-ins, chaired the St Brelade's Bay Association, objected to planning decisions she considered insensitive (notably the L'Horizon beachfront house approval in March 2023), and engaged in States debates drawing on legal expertise (e.g. tree-protection law). From February 2024 she served as Assistant Minister for Sustainable Economic Development and External Relations, which brought broader island-wide focus rather than parish-specific planning work. She resigned those ministerial roles in April 2026, citing concerns about transparency and lack of strong economic leadership, and did not seek re-election; her own departure statement acknowledged that 'sustainable improvements in living standards' had not been fully achieved, indicating the promise remained only partially fulfilled.
Will champion island-wide positive change through promotion of the How programme for better government decision-making.
No recorded vote yet“If elected, I will... champion positive change Island wide through promotion of the How programme.” — Mary-Rose (Moz) Scott, 2022-2026 election manifesto
The 'How programme' (also branded as the 'How Proposition List') was Moz Scott's own pre-election governance-reform platform, covering a public ombudsman, ministerial accountability measures, and improved decision-making transparency. No formal States Assembly propositions directly enacting the How programme's governance framework were identified on the States Assembly record during the 2022–2026 term; Scott's lodged propositions focused chiefly on electoral and tenancy-law matters. In June 2026, Scott told ITV News that her attempts to bring measures for more efficient government 'just haven't been taken up' due to 'resistance to change'; she had already resigned as Assistant Minister in April 2026 citing 'fundamental differences' over transparency and did not stand for re-election, leaving the Assembly at term end with the programme's core goals undelivered.
