@keenjersey.bsky.social great article in the JEP today on the subject of pensions. Rising elderly demographic, and a lower birth rate is a big concern. It’s a mystery why our Gov shelved the idea of an auto enrolling scheme. Madness!
If you are young, do something about your pension.

You really notice what a terrible state our roads are in when you are on two wheels desperately avoiding pot holes & other damage . Massive investment needed IMO.

President-elect Trump falsely suggested on social media that the man who drove a pickup truck into a crowd in New Orleans was an immigrant. Officials identified the suspect in the deadly attack as a U.S.-born citizen and Army veteran.
Trump Falsely Suggested New Orleans Suspect Was an Immigrant
The president-elect said on social media that he was right about fearing criminals on the other side of the border. Officials later identified the suspect as a U.S.-born citizen and Army veteran.

Great piece by Jodie Yettram, full of research and investigation to try and answer this question.

Seems to me it's a mixture of compounding factors, with housing at the top, that are driving the young away and keeping them from returning. Jersey's becoming a very dull island with less young in it.

If @bsky.app is going to work in #Jerseyci we need more people to post stuff .

Our public libraries already play a vital and central role in supporting young children prepare for school. We can amplify that impact if we take a co-ordinated, multi-agency approach. This briefing shows how we can achieve that;
The Government has today pledged to ensure 75% of 5-year-olds in England start school "ready to learn". Public libraries have a crucial role to play here, as highlighted in our briefing from last year www.librariesconnected.org.uk/news/use-lib...
Use libraries to help get children "school ready", say teachers | Libraries Connected
A vast majority of teachers say libraries help children prepare for the classroom.

The politeness of drivers in Jersey is amazing & another thing that makes us stand out. Imagine if that politeness was repeated on social media. Would more people stand for election as an example ?
