Vingtaine
Political subdivision of Jersey in the Channel Islands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A vingtaine (French pronunciation: [vɛ̃tɛn] ⓘ, literally "group of twenty" in French), is a political subdivision of Jersey parishes. St Ouen has cueillettes (Jèrriais: Tchilliettes) instead of vingtaines.[1] One, La Vingtaine de la Ville (The Vingtaine of the Town), in St Helier, is further divided into two cantons.
Officers
Vingteniers are elected by a Parish Assembly for a term of three years but are elected to a particular vingtaine (or cueillette) in that Parish.[2] They are sworn in as officers by the Royal Court.
Honorary police
In each vingtaine, vingteniers and constable's officers (in French: officiers du connétable) are elected as part of Jersey's Honorary Police system.[3] They do not have to live within the vingtaine or cueillette they represent, but they must live in the parish they represent (except in St. Helier, where ratepayers and mandataires are eligible).
Vingteniers carry out general community policing in the parish, and fulfill administrative roles within their vingtaine in respect of tasks such as the visite du branchage.
Roads inspectors
Roads inspectors are elected to serve a vingtaine or cueillette at an assembly of the electors of the parish. They are responsible to for maintaining the highways and byways of the vingtaine. Roads inspectors report to and must enforce the decisions of the roads committee of the parish.
