Avingtaine (French pronunciation:[vɛ̃tɛn]ⓘ, literally "group of twenty" inFrench) is a political subdivision ofJersey. They are subdivisions of the variousparishes of Jersey, and one, LaVingtaine de la Ville (The Vingtaine of the town), inSaint Helier is further divided into two cantons.
St. Ouen hascueillettes (Jèrriais:Tchilliettes) instead of vingtaines.
In each vingtaine,vingteniers andConstable's officers (in French:officiers du Connétable) are elected as part of Jersey'sHonorary Police system. 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 are elected by aParish Assembly of electors and ratepayers for a term of three years but are elected to a particular vingtaine (or cueillette) in that Parish. Vingteniers carry out general community policing in the parish, and fulfill administrative roles within their vingtaine in respect of tasks such as theVisite du Branchage.
Constable's Officers are elected to serve a vingtaine or cueillette at an Assembly of the electors of that Parish. They assist theCenteniers and vingteniers of the parish with community policing.
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. Along withHonorary Police they are sworn in as officers by theRoyal Court. Roads Inspectors report to and must enforce the decisions of theRoads Committee of the Parish.
