Election 2026: What do voters in St Clement think?
BBCAhead of Jersey's 2026 general election, the BBC is going to each voting district to speak to islanders about the issues affecting and concerning them.
The seventh roadshow took place in St Clement, which has a population of 9,930 making it the second lowest populated constituency.
Residents spoke of their concerns about the growing population and the cost of living.
The district is also home to several sports clubs and there were calls for the next set of politicians to invest more in sport.
The BBC spoke to Karen Quinn in the Le Squez estate who said: "St Clement is best."
However, she had concerns about population and the price of goods and services.
"There is an awful lot to think about with the amount of people coming into the island, where is everybody going to go? Where are the children going to go to school with the schools overloaded?," said Quinn.
Latest projections show Jersey's population is likely to remain stable at about 104,540 until 2050 before falling to 96,460 people in 2080.
Quinn is also worried about how the cost of living was impacting people in St Clement.
"A lot of people are struggling money wise. I think it's across the board isn't it really, so they can't afford to take the children to the cinemas, its money, money, money to do anything."
St Clement had the second lowest average trust in government and political apathy was an issue that came up when the BBC spoke to residents.
Alana Botrel, 29, said she "definitely" would not vote because "no one listens anyway, what's the point?"
"A lot of people my age would tell you the same thing that there is no point voting. Your voice isn't heard no matter what you do," she added.
While voters had their concerns, many spoke highly of the district.
Christian Hill, who runs Le Hocq Inn and has lived in St Clement for two-and-a-half years after moving from London, said the community spirit in the island had attracted him.
He said: "We wanted to come to Jersey really for the people, the place and the scenery.
"We've been really welcomed into the community and we're certainly enjoying it a great deal."
Hill came to Jersey shortly before Storm Ciaran and St Clement was one of the worst hit parts of the island.
"We'd only been here a month, and that storm was very, very scary and we were right at the coal face of it, right at the sea, it was quite a scary time, it's probably the most frightened I've been for a natural event, it was devastation.
"But people everywhere just rallied around to help each other, going around to everyone's houses, there were people staying in hotels, we had people come to stay with us because people didn't have electricity. It was almost like the Dunkirk spirit, it was really great afterwards."
St Clement is home to several sports clubs and the BBC election roadshow was joined by Ian Cuming from the Jersey Sports Council which has carried out a survey of sports clubs and put together a "manifesto of sport".
Cuming said: "It covers young people, it covers facilities, sports tourism, travel and such like."
He explained that while St Clement had a lot of sports clubs, there could be more facilities in the east of the island.
"You do have the facilities down at the FB fields and at St Clement across the road from there where they've got the golf course and padel, racquets and tennis courts.
"But you speak to people in the east of the island and they say we don't have enough and I think certainly at Le Rocquier you could put something similar to Oakfield."
The election will be held on Sunday, 7 June and the list of candidates standing in St Clement can be found here.
