Richard Percy Vibert

Connétable for St Peter · Independent

Minister for Children and Families · Member of Comité de Connétable

Richard Vibert was first elected to the States Assembly in 2018 as Connétable of St Peter, a seat he has held through successive re-elections in 2022 and 2026. During his first term he served on the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel and the Public Accounts Committee, as well as the Comité des Connétables. From 2022 he held Assistant Minister roles for Children and Education and for Treasury and Resources before becoming Minister for Children and Education in 2024 and, later that year, Minister for Children and Families. He also served as Assistant Minister for Justice and Home Affairs from 2024 to 2026. He currently serves as Minister for Children and Families and as a member of the Comité des Connétables.

For the 2026–2030 term Vibert campaigned on preserving St Peter's rural identity and the quality of parish life. His specific commitments included pursuing sensible planning decisions to keep the parish accessible to families while protecting its countryside character, working towards practical solutions to traffic and road safety concerns raised by residents, pressing for a reduction in PFAS levels in the parish's drinking water to safer levels, and completing community benefit projects subject to the parish's financial position.

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.

No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence
Vibert was re-elected as Connétable of St Peter on 7 June 2026 and the new Assembly sat from 19 June 2026, giving only approximately 12 weeks to the assessment date. However, no evidence was found of him taking any specific action on planning or rural character in that window; his sole ministerial portfolio in the new government is Minister for Children and Families (confirmed 30 June 2026), not environment or planning. Significant planning decisions affecting St Peter's rural character — notably the approval of 128 affordable homes on rezoned fields and the dismissal of a third-party appeal against that scheme in June 2026 — were determined by the Planning Committee and outgoing Environment Minister, not by Vibert.
No recorded votedirectional

“Future development must be carefully considered so that it supports the community's needs without changing the character of the parish.”

Vibert was re-elected as Connétable of St Peter on 7 June 2026 and the new Assembly sat from 19 June 2026, giving only approximately 13 weeks in term by the assessment date; no post-election actions, propositions or parish assembly decisions specific to protecting St Peter's rural character have been reported by any authoritative source. The structural vehicle for delivering this promise — a new Island Plan — is not expected to reach the States Assembly until 2027 or 2028, per reporting by the Jersey Evening Post in June 2025. It is also notable that during the preceding 2022–2026 term Vibert publicly supported a 128-home development on parish fields (Island FM, July 2025), saying 'the economy will slowly die without new residents', a stance that sits in tension with the rural-character protection commitment.

Richard Vibert was re-elected as Connétable of St Peter unopposed on 7 June 2026 and the new 2026-2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, leaving fewer than three months to the assessment date. His Summer 2026 parish newsletter (Les Clefs, July 2026) acknowledged that speeding, traffic and road safety were among the top concerns parishioners had raised with him, but recorded no specific initiative, scheme, consultation or dialogue process launched in response. No independent reporting from Bailiwick Express, BBC Jersey or gov.je surfaced any concrete road-safety measure or structured community dialogue attributable to this promise in the period since his re-election. Given the very short window of this new term, the absence of evidence should not be read as failure, but no progress beyond identifying the issue has yet been publicly documented.
No recorded votedirectional
Will work to reduce PFAS levels in the parish's drinking water to safer levels.
“I know that many of you are concerned about the levels of PFAS in the water and land in the parish. I wish to see levels in our drinking water reduced to safer levels and was disappointed that legislation to this effect was delayed until the next Government.”
Environment And ClimateHealth And Care
No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence
Connétable Vibert was re-elected to the 2026–2030 Assembly (first sat 19 June 2026) and was appointed Minister for Children and Families — a portfolio with no direct responsibility for water quality or PFAS regulation. The key legislative vehicle for reducing PFAS in Jersey's drinking water (Proposition P.26/2026, proposing a 4 ng/L limit by 2031) was filibustered out of the 2022–2026 term after backbenchers called it in for scrutiny, meaning the previous Assembly failed to deliver the statutory standard Vibert's manifesto referenced. As of July 2026, the new Environment Minister (Senator Mary Le Hegarat) published the PFAS Scientific Advisory Panel's final report and promised a 'considered and evidence-based government response', but no new proposition or concrete action has been announced. No evidence was found of Vibert personally taking steps — through the Assembly, the Council of Ministers, or the parish — to advance lower PFAS limits in drinking water since the new term began.

Richard Vibert was re-elected as Connétable of St Peter on 7 June 2026, with the new Assembly sitting from 19 June 2026 — only about three months before this assessment. The parish website (stpeter.je) showed active news posts and community updates from June through September 2026, and the Summer 2026 parish newsletter (Les Clefs) documented ongoing community groups and parish services. Vibert also took on the role of Minister for Children and Families in the new Council of Ministers (appointed 29–30 June 2026), indicating he is active in his wider civic duties, though no specific independently-reported initiative targeting St Peter community improvement has been identified in this short window.

Richard Vibert was re-elected as Connétable of St Peter on 7 June 2026 and the 2026–2030 Assembly first sat on 19 June 2026, leaving fewer than three months in post as of the assessment date. Pre-election reporting by Bailiwick Express (June 2026) noted that Vibert had identified specific projects — including refurbishment of Maison Le Marquand and a new children's play area — and had cited improved parish finances as enabling progress. No post-election sources confirm that any of these community benefit projects have been formally initiated, funded, or announced since the new term began. Given the very short window elapsed, this reflects the early stage of the term rather than a failure to act.

  Voting Pour delivers this
  Investing stamp duty uplift into first-time buyer funds relates to housing affordability and availability, touching on the broader housing stock goals including right-sized homes.
  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns developing right-sized homes to free up family homes, while the motion addressed redirecting stamp duty revenue on second homes into first-time buyer funds — a related but distinct housing finance mechanism that a member could oppose while still pursuing their stated goal through other means.

  Voting Pour delivers this
  The motion on cost of living measures affecting Andium Homes rent increases directly bears on keeping affordable homes affordable for tenants.
  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns keeping a specific set of ~125 affordable homes affordable in perpetuity, while the motion concerned rent-increase measures for Andium Homes broadly; voting against one particular rent-freeze or rent-cap measure does not unambiguously contradict a promise about long-term affordability conditions for a specific housing stock, as a member could oppose this mechanism while pursuing the promise through other means.

  Increasing assets/savings threshold for the Affordable Housing Gateway bears on access to and affordability of the housing scheme the promise targets.

  Voting Contre delivers this
  The motion to move to next item on Andium Homes rent increases would avoid debating measures to cap rent rises; voting Contre keeps pressure on Andium affordability, consistent with keeping homes affordable in perpetuity.
  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The member's promise concerned keeping approximately 125 specific affordable homes affordable in perpetuity and family-suitable, while the motion was a procedural "move to next item" vote during a debate on Andium Homes rent increases, meaning the vote's relationship to the specific promise requires inference rather than being a direct contradiction.

  Voting Pour delivers this
  Investing stamp duty uplift into first-time buyer funds directly supports affordable home ownership, bearing on the commitment to maintain affordable homes.
  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerned keeping a specific set of ~125 approved affordable homes affordable in perpetuity and family-suitable, whereas this motion concerned redirecting stamp-duty revenue into first-time buyer funds — a different mechanism in the same broad area, and a member could reasonably oppose this particular funding route while still pursuing the original promise by other means.

The promise concerns ensuring public facilities are included in housing developments, while development levies are one specific financial mechanism for funding such facilities — a member could oppose this particular levy mechanism while still pursuing the underlying goal through other means.

  Multi-morbidity GP consultations amendment directly advances funding of community health services consistent with the Jersey Care Model.
  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general commitment to proper funding of the Jersey Care Model without privatisation by stealth, while this motion concerns one specific amendment about funding multi-morbidity GP consultations within the Government Plan, meaning a vote against it could reflect concerns about the particular mechanism or affordability rather than opposition to the Care Model's proper funding in principle.

  Free GP visits for children and young people amendment advances properly funded community healthcare consistent with the Jersey Care Model promise.
  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is about ensuring the Jersey Care Model is properly funded and not privatised by stealth, while this motion concerns one specific funding measure (free GP visits for children and young people); voting against it could reflect concerns about the mechanism, cost, or scope rather than opposition to proper funding of the Care Model overall.

  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerns funding and preventing privatisation in the Jersey Care Model, while the motion concerned establishing or amending an Interim Board for Health and Community Services — a governance/structural matter whose connection to either funding levels or privatisation requires inference rather than being self-evident.

  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerned proper funding of the Jersey Care Model and avoiding privatisation by stealth, while this motion specifically concerned the States grant to the Social Security Fund — a related but distinct funding mechanism — and a member could reasonably vote against this particular amendment while still believing they were pursuing adequate, non-privatised care funding through other means.

  Our Hospital Project Reporting motion directly bears on transparency and accountability for the hospital project, which is central to not materially delaying delivery.
  Considered and set aside: this motion does not bear on the promise. The motion concerned reporting arrangements for the hospital project, which is a procedural/oversight matter, not a decision that would materially alter the timeline for delivery of the new hospital, so voting against it does not contradict a promise about opposing changes that materially delay the hospital's delivery.

  Voting Pour delivers this
  Government Plan amendment on New Healthcare Facilities Programme expenditure directly bears on funding the hospital to avoid delay.
  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise opposes changes that "materially delay" the hospital, but voting against a specific budget amendment concerning healthcare facilities expenditure could reflect concerns about funding mechanisms, costs, or other bundled matters rather than a direct endorsement of delay, so calling this a clear breach requires inferring that this particular amendment was the sole or necessary means of keeping the project on schedule.

  Voting Pour delivers this
  Investing stamp duty uplift into first-time buyer funds is a direct measure to deliver affordable homes, aligned with the promise to support delivery of affordable homes.
  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise is a general directional commitment to affordable homes, and this motion concerns one specific funding mechanism (directing stamp duty revenue to first-time buyer funds), so voting against it does not plainly contradict the promise since the member could support affordable homes through other means.

  Extending the Social Security contribution reduction relates to the living wage/cost of living dimension of the promise to support the Living Wage.
  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise to "move towards the Living Wage" is a general directional commitment, and whether extending a temporary Social Security contribution reduction for three months is a necessary or appropriate means of advancing that goal requires an inferential step rather than being self-evidently connected.

  The amendment to remove the stamp duty surcharge on second homes would reduce a measure discouraging investment purchases, working against affordable home delivery.
  Considered and set aside: voting this way is not clearly a breach of the promise. The promise concerned the Living Wage and affordable homes generally, while this motion addressed a specific stamp duty surcharge on second homes—a fiscal mechanism that relates to housing affordability only indirectly, and a member could reasonably hold differing views on this particular tax measure while still genuinely pursuing affordable housing through other means.

No recorded vote - delivery verdictUnverifiablemedium confidence
No independent evidence was found that Connétable Richard Vibert took any specific action — such as lodging a proposition, making a ministerial statement, or supporting a formal policy initiative — to advance greater use of recycled materials or locally produced aggregates in construction during the 2022–2026 Assembly term. Vibert served as Minister for Children and Education, a role with no direct remit over construction materials or planning policy; responsibility for aggregates and the Circular Economy Strategy lay with the Ministers for Infrastructure and the Environment. While Jersey's broader policy landscape (the Bridging Island Plan and Carbon Neutral Roadmap) touched on aggregate sourcing and circular economy goals, no reporting from the Jersey Evening Post, Bailiwick Express, ITV Channel or States Assembly records linked Vibert personally to progress on this specific commitment.

No recorded vote - delivery verdictNot yet testedmedium confidence
No evidence was found that Connétable Vibert lodged a proposition, amendment, or ministerial statement advocating for a building insulation loan scheme during the 2022-2026 Assembly term. The Jersey government's Carbon Neutral Roadmap (approved April 2022) introduced a grant-based Low Carbon Heating Incentive in May 2023, but this was a match-funding grant focused on heating system replacement rather than a loan scheme for insulation of older buildings. Vibert served as Assistant Minister and then Minister for Children and Families throughout the term — outside the environment and infrastructure portfolio — and the July 2025 Carbon Neutral Roadmap Progress Report indicated several energy efficiency financing measures had been deprioritised or deferred to the next term of government.

During the 2022–2026 term, Connétable Vibert took several concrete steps consistent with his 'community-first' pledge. In June 2023 the Parish of St Peter was accredited as a Living Wage employer, with Vibert explicitly citing this as an aim from his election (Jersey Evening Post, 7 June 2023; Bailiwick Express, 6 June 2023). He served as Assistant Minister for Children and Education from 2022, was appointed full Minister for Children and Families in February 2024, updated the island-wide Children and Young People's Plan and championed play provision in new St Peter housing developments (Channel 103, May 2024; Les Clefs parish magazine, Autumn 2023).

Vibert listed 'Parish allotments for community use' as a manifesto commitment on the official vote.je page for the 2022 election, but exhaustive searches of the St Peter parish website (stpeter.je), parish assembly records, and Jersey media outlets (ITV Channel, Bailiwick Express, JEP) returned no evidence that a community allotment scheme was established in St Peter during the 2022–2026 term. Other Jersey parishes, such as St Clement, have published dedicated allotment pages, providing a benchmark for what delivery looks like; no equivalent provision appeared for St Peter. Vibert was re-elected unopposed for the 2026–2030 term in June 2026, but no allotment announcement accompanied that campaign.

Vibert held significant ministerial positions (Minister for Children and Families; Assistant Minister for Justice and Home Affairs), and the States of Jersey Police 2025 policing plan referenced island-wide ambitions to reduce youth anti-social behaviour through targeted early interventions, but no parish-specific outreach initiative traceable to this manifesto commitment was identified in any independent or official source.
