In addition to the actions completed above, there have been other key achievements since the publication of the Island Plan in January 2022, in particular Governments response to the Ukraine conflict and the cost of living response.
Government response to the Ukraine conflict
The Russian invasion of Ukraine brought about wide reaching and complex sets of considerations. A cross Government immediate response together with a strategic response was mobilised. Efforts were prioritised towards both our international and humanitarian response but also ensured we reduced or mitigated the impact of the conflict on our Island; ensuring security of key services and supplies and anticipating the impact of significant inflation. Key achievements include the issuing of 129 visas, provision of community support and monitoring and implementation of UK sanctions.
Government response to the cost of living crisis
A range of interventions to support Island residents with the rising pressure on the cost of living, particularly from increases in fuel and energy prices have been put in place, including:
Provide Universal Interventions
Electricity prices capped until 31st March 2023 & bus fares capped at a maximum of £2 per journey until 31st January 2023.
