The Jersey government provides a live feed of air quality measured at two urban sites. There are 3 readings of levels of particulate matter: http://www.gov.je/environment/protectingenvironment/air/pages/airquality.aspx

In addition, an annual report commissioned by the Jersey government and compiled by a third party provides monthly levels of 6 types of pollution including PM, NOx, VOC but not CO or SOx.

The latest annual report (for 2014) was published on 4 August 2015.

The www.vote.je site is the official source of the election results and was set up by the States Greffe.

The main (horizontal) menu on the www.vote.je site also provides access to the 2011 and 2013 results (though they do not provide quite as much detail e.g. spoiled papers)

There have been no major elections in 2015 as the parliament has moved to a 4-year term of office for all its elected members and there have been no by-elections at the time of submission.

36 Land Ownership


Jersey has a land register, but not in the form of a cadastre.

A GIS layer is used to link land parcels to the court registry records (scanned document images in PDF format) which detail property transactions registered before the Royal Court.

Members of the public can request information about land ownership from the court registry.

Each land polygon has a pointer to relevant record in the court registry document management system ('PRIDE').

Access to both the GIS system and the PRIDE system would be required to identify the ownership and size of a parcel of land.

93 Procurement tenders


The Jersey government through its Corporate Procurement Services, States of Jersey Treasury Department publishes information about current tender opportunities worth more than £100,000, including an archive of opportunities, but does not publish information about awarded tenders.

There is a strict confidentiality policy in place, so one party accessing the tender documents may not share them with another apart from on a need-to-know basis.

Jersey and Guernsey, which are two different jurisdictions but are only 20 miles apart, use a shared service (Channel Island Tenders) for open tendering. Therefore the assessment of JE and GG should be identical.
